Media is spelling it both ways....touche.

The nation is watching this scandal unfold. Are we totally informed. No, No one is....new facts will very likely unfold, and I think there will be a boatload of indictments, lawsuits, and new allegations unless there is intervention by powerful forces.

You may think you are way more informed than those of us following this from a far; perhaps you are, perhaps not. You may not think you are defending him, but your posts might make some of us reading them come to a different conclusion.

I get school loyalty; attended 3 schools myself, kids have attended a total of 4 and counting. It is hard to read bad thins about a school you have had a relationship with....and attending or sending a child to college is a long-term relationship.

Sorry, but I, the uninformed, am not not biased and blinded by loyalty to a school or program. I am reading the articles, etc. as they are published; even CNN said the school officials and media may have handled this badly due to the iconic nature of the sport and coach.

Really? I can believe it, though, considering how shoddy their reporting has been so far.

That's what I've been trying to get through. I may know more than most, but even so, I still don't know enough to conclusively say anything.

I am more defending him from the notion that he is definitely guilty. He could very well be guilty; he may very well not be.

I definitely do like Penn State, but I'll accept whatever the facts are and am not blindly loyal. If I was, I'd be defending Sandusky, Spanier, the administration, Schultz, etc.

Yes, they did handle this poorly, and that is the general consensus in Happy Valley.
