When you read the State College Centredaily -- and other regional TV station news content from that area...most Penn State alumni are seemingly more upset at the Board of Trustees for...
(a) what they regard as capitulation to the NCAA;
(b) Paterno's firing [tho some only objected to how it was done]
What we usually don't see from the State College alumni and the State College media is:
Objections from them that they are STILL -- 1.5 years later -- paying the salary of one of the cover-uppers (the athletic director)...who's been mooching off of the Penn State budget all this time...with nary a negative word from the locals or media!!!
I also haven't seen them object to Spanier's post as a tenured prof (his presidency was a separate issue in which he resigned).
And, as post #34 shows, we get the local newspaper lamenting with "sadness" the closing of Sandusky's Second Mile Foundation last May...whereas if the locals had been really upset with Second Mile, they would have erupted with sentiments of "good riddance."
Instead, two journalists who wrote that piece knew that their comments represented the same sentiments as their readers...otherwise why inject highly inflammable commentary into a simple news story about Second Mile's demise?
No...there's this great pride-filled spirit of defiance loose among State College's elite and their online Jopologists.
They are more provoked over Freeh, over the NCAA, over the Board of Trustees, then they ever were re: the Cover-uppers, the Second Mile Foundation or over their local media treating these people/entities with kid-glove "softball" questions.
They still have screwed-up provocation priorities!!!!
Elsewise, there would have been a call to fire AD Tim Curley long ago...there hasn't been ANY such groundswell because the Penn Staters are still worshipping at their altar of college sports glory.
The CDT reflecting the views of its constituents? Not hardly. The CDT is reviled in State College and is referred to as "the Seedy T".
People in State College upset that The Second Mile has closed? Nope. Not in the least. Saddened that a once well-respected charity was actually a front for a pedophile, yes.
PSU bureaucrats still being paid? Yes. They have not been convicted of any crime. Apparently you would want your own employer to fire you on the basis of an allegation that as yet has no determination of proof behind it. OK. Luckily most people's employers aren't jackesses. [And dont' take advice from people who are.]
Spanier still tenured? Same issue. Losing tenure isn't done for the same reasons for positions (like University President) held for termination at will. That's why professors want tenure to begin with, and why Spanier insisted on it when he came from Nebraska.
Does the word "Duh" mean anything to you?
Please add five more exclamation points in your next post. It won't make any of your lies true, but at least you and the rest of the lynch mob will feel better about your own sanctimonious drivel.
