...the main culprits in that regard were the people at the highest levels of the school admin.

Fact:

Yes, Spanier was out as prez; but he remained on the Penn State payroll as a tenured prof until he was formally indicted (last November); and the athletic director was on paid leave...he retired last Spring.

IoW, unlike Paterno, whom they fired -- they didn't fire these two clowns. That means Penn State's administrative "culprits" extended into 2012...and perhaps 2013.

And not only that, no grassroots movement on the part of Penn State fans existed as people lobbying to get these two clowns off of the Nittany Lyin' payroll...which means THEY are also part of the "do nothing" problem that carved a "refuge" for Sandusky & his pals to begin with!

I can't for the life of me imagine an adult who, when informed that someone was in the gymnasium showers raping a 10 year old boy, wouldn't drop everything they were doing and gather up as many available other adults and storm over to the showering area with clubs, and/or other implements, to rescue the boy. And on the way, calling the campus and off-campus police.

Anyone arguing about ANYTHING other than taking that type of immediate action is, in my mind, beyond strange, and working towards a hidden agenda.
