Monumental institutional FAIL by those whose concern, above all else, was to protect a money-making football program.

Hideous lapse of judgement by Paterno and other enablers, while kids got raped.

Pure teaser.
There are no dwarfs or midgets anywhere in this story.

PS covered for Michael Mann too.

Interesting that the Miami Herald would make this observation, U. Miami being the home of many past college sports scandals.

I'm going to guess the murder of the Baylor basketball center about a decade ago probably would be the previous champ but and then there was the point-shaving scandals of the 50s.

It’s OJ times 100.

Jim Tressel and Ohio State look like a bunch of pikers. A couple tattoos and some ‘walkin’ around money’ for some jerseys VS pedophilia and homosexual rape.

I don’t think any other college scandal will have as big an impact as this does to Penn State.

The outrage generated is growing to a fevered pitch, and I’m afraid there is the possibility of violence. The Westboro Baptist Church from Topeka will demonstrate before the game on Saturday, and that sure won’t help.

I used to live in once Happy Valley and my son has two degrees from PSU. Everyone is just sick about the coverup.

The game on Saturday should be cancelled, and forfeited.

Paterno won’t make it to the end of the season. There’s a regents meeting on Friday...he’ll be relieved of his position. Even if he somehow survives, how does Penn State allow him to go on the road, to Ohio State and Wisconsin no less?

If the NCAA doesn’t give Penn State the death penalty then they need to publicly apologize to SMU and give them a retroactive national championship and a few hundred million dollars.

I assume all the players are innocent, but I still think the game should be forfeited.

If I was on the team, I really don't know how I'd go out there and play a stupid football game with all this crap swirling around.

This isn't normal college football booster shenanigans - this is sick demented and weird. And it's just picking up steam.

"This is like having a scandal in the White House. That's how big this is," said Beano Cook

Beano needs to read beyond the sportspages.

He could ask 200 dead Mexicans if the White House has any big scandals.

[sten]

so a homo gets into the organization and does what homos do (in a much higher incidence rate then heteros)

to avoid any liability suits in the future, the solution would be to immediately fire all homosexuals.

that should solve the majority of the problems.

after that, deal with them on a case-by-case basis... with a large vat of boiling oil and a slow moving chain

[Oratam]

If only they would let defensive coordinators marry. /s
