I reject the idea that what Sandusky did and Paterno and the university president knew about (among others) is anything but their violation of their own public trust. They are culpable. They should be punished. The law says university will pay and pay for the damage. No one can estimate what this amount will be. Is the university really guilty of their sins ? Think about that if you worked at PSU or were trying to graduate...
If I Worked at PSU I would be furious with the hierarchy for allowing children to be raped and doing nothing. When the university is punished, the students won’t be punished at all, other than being saddened that they can’t go to a bowl game. If that is why they went there they have the brains of a potted plant.
