Just think - if this was San Francisco State University, Sandusky would get a statue and a gay pride parade.
Well, yeah...but where does that mean Penn State would fall on a continuum here...especially in light of Rintense's comment @ 118:
"I'm a Michigan State alum. My boss is a U of M alum. And we had a very heated talk today about all this- heated because we were in complete agreement that had this happened at either of our schools, and had been handled as poorly, etc. we'd be protesting every single day on campus and never wear a single school color again. I went a step farther and said I'd chuck my framed diploma at the admin building and tell them to burn in hell. It IS that bad out there."
I mean if the Michigan schools had done this, it sounds like the alumni would be so up in arms that you might have massive protests...Yet @ Penn State, the students were seemingly more concerned with their local cultural god, Joe Paterno, than they were the victims.
Sounds to me like on a continuum, Penn State ranks a LOT closer to your San Francisco State example than on the other end of the continuum, Michigan or Michigan State.
Oh, and btw, there IS another Big 10 university that "outpedophiles" Penn State: Indiana University.
