ugh, reading more of this and had to stop. they should just hang this guy in public

this

Now that Penn State is a Catholic school will they get their own deal with NBC?

this man deserves to die in a more drawn out and painful manner. i'm thinking drawn and quartered

this is the kinda thing where public stonings seem like a good idea

Excerpt from http://i.usatoday.net/sports/college...grand-jury.pdf

Lots of people not reporting this to the police.

I've already said above that I'm wrong, what more do you want?

That graduates assistant should be in some type of trouble, right?

Everyone that failed to report this should.

Not that I'm thrilled about the concept, but unfortunately JoePa can claim alzheimer's.

Been suspicious of Penn State since I came out here from Cali:

[x] they chg. JoePa's eyeglass prescription annually [u can actually see it LOL]; I think the challenge flags have been "delegated" to the offensive and defensive co-ordinators 4 good reason

[x] I don't know [w/ certainty, anyway] any other big12 or other major university that actually awards A. A. degrees.

Then again, Cali has way more junior colleges and "high schools w/ ashtrays" than Div. II or III schools, more common here in the east.

[x]I'm a much bigger fan of the Stanford Tree, fk all this.
Even harder 2 explain is the vast # of Notre Dame fans in Scranton.

On a more serious note, Pennsylvania is late coming to grips regarding molestation of young boys by the catholic church here, whereas back in Cali in the 90's, we had priests dying of full-blown HIV.

Not really imo, especially if he's taking down the people on top. There's a huge difference between trying to do the right thing and getting it wrong and actively covering something like this up.

What, if any, precedent is there for the NCAA punishing a program over something like this: criminal conduct that isn't directly related to the athletics department.

If it's not illegal to not report something like this it ought to be.

That being said.. I do understand him getting a deal for taking down the real douchebags if that's what is happening.

People ITT have said it's illegal (and I believe them), but I don't think this guy really fits any definition of mens rea. He walked into a situation he was completely unprepared for, and went to the people he trusted most. It's really hard for me to hate him, with the information I have.

I see a ton of child abuse cases (probably about 1 a week) and my wife works with kids with the saddest stories ever. This GA is far from the worst you could do in this situation as far as witnesses go.

River man should probably not be allowed to post. He's not good at it.

Very good point in this post. I read it at first and found myself hating that GA. And there was no defending it in my head.

There still isn't much defending it and I still think he is wrong, but I don't think he is some scumbag that should be put down as a sex offender because at the very least he did do something.

With that said....I hope that if(hopefully I am never in anything remotely close to this) I found myself in a situation like his, I woulda done something to that dude(likely beating him within an inch of his life).

Also, I could really get behind a death penalty for the PSU football program if this goes really deep. Not sure at what point do I go all out.

8 known victims in a 15 year period. Wait. Know people high up at PSU lied to the grand jury but what?

This is a tough one. I'm against death penalties for the most part as they don't usually effect those that did the damage. Whoever comes next had nothing to do with this situation and the kids, who will be punished the most out of this(wrt death penalty) have absolutely nothing to do with this.

i wonder if the NCAA could or would do something where they explicitly say "every member associated must be fired or else x"

NCAA's got no authority here

Heh...I have no idea about the legal stuff. But I wouldn't hate if the NCAA said something like, "fire everyone...and we mean every mother****er there and we won't investigate. Leave one person...full investigation and death penalty possible, if not likely."

Edit: Loretta > me. Had no idea. This situation is ****ing irking me.

i dunno, this seems like a pretty solid case for lack of institutional control

If he'd bought the kid dinner after ****ing him then the NCAA would be all over this

Call the police and have them to talk to the witness?

If the NCAA ends up doing nothing, whether they are allowed to or not, I'm going to be an even more bitter mother****er. I know thats not fair...but I really ****ing hate that organization with everything I am.

thats only for stuff like improper benefits

theres nothing in the NCAA rule book about criminals afaik, I don't think they have any authority here.
