They probably will need to take a year off from football....assuming all the players are released to go to other programs....and a whole new coaching staff brought in, there is no way they’ll be ready by next season....think of it like the Marshall program after the plane crash. It will take time to bring in a whole new batch of recruits, and for them to be competitive. They’ll probably lose to teams like Temple, 49-0 for the first year or two.
Scary thing I hate to say is that prior to last week Sandusky and any others involved could have passed a background check to work with children anywhere today.
I have resented the heck out of background checks for that very reason. The sneaky creeps that do these sort of acts are just that — sneaky creeps who have never been caught or prosecuted —until the damage has been done...
In the meantime many good people avoid working with kids for that very reason, that people assume they might be a sneaky creep.
People wanting to be positive role models never place themselves to be alone with children in order to avoid any false accusations. We know what the media can do to a good man’s reputation in no time.
This situation was just the opposite...the guy evidentally was so sick that others knew of his doings, and those others did nothing.
More extensive background checks (that do absolutely no good in the most extreme cases) coming to us all thanks to this situation.
