Guess the Big Ten is pleased they hitched their wagon to this star.
BTW, Paterno is getting a bum rap. (MO)
IIRC, the BIG10 may be penalizing PSU also.
It’s a shame that the football players will suffer from these sanctions.
No, “bum rap” sounds more like what Sandusky liked to give to little boys.
Surely you jest. I only wish he had lived long enough to get it in person.
And what's up with Mrs. Sandusky? She needs a long rest in the Graybar Hotel.
I disagree. Joe knew it a while back and choose to do nothing, hoping against hope it would go away.
It didn't go away and he should have known it would not go away.
As for those saying the NCAA doesn't have authority, I disagree with that also.
The scandal was part of the football program. Even if Sandusky was the only one involved molesting the young boys. The University took steps to cover it up.
The NCAA took the correct steps to punish severely the football program. If nothing else it sends a message to the other schools that pedophilia will NOT be tolerated.
He covered up Sandusky, in order to win more games, he was obsessed with being the all-time winningest coach, and we saw what lengths he would go to to get that record.
The thing is, had he nipped it in the bud, and turned in Sandusky when he first found out, he would have been looked upon as a hero, and he might have gone on to even greater heights.
Not sure how covering child rape for the purposes of protecting his coach and football program is a “bum rap” but you are entitled to you own opinion...........
