Penn State Sanctions resulting from the Sandusky scandal

[schoolsout]

I wish some of our government regulators would, at the very least, take lessons from the NCAA...

Don't you guys think the old saying...."Follow The Money applies here ? Maybe we should examine the money trail that develops from this situation...Much money will change hands...some we will know about and I'll bet some will be under the table....Just sayin'

That's usually the case...just as it was in the "hush up" of the events that took place at PSU

Yep - that's the way I figure it...but also the "victims" that have waited over a decade or more to come forward...hmmm? are they really that injured ...I mean if they were really accosted...why wait to come forward....to cash in ?

I can't comment, but if I was ever raped by another man, I'd be a bit embarrassed about it.

Say, you come out and it turns out nobody else will say anything as they are embarrassed. Are we supposed to believe one person? Would the PSU community have believed one person that was critical of the "heroes" and whatnot within the community?

Go back and read my post on why they are speaking now. This is very common for child rape victims. Don't blame the rape victims.

I think one of the kids who was being raped in the shower saw that were was a witness to what was happening to him. Did the witness stop the rape? No. Did the witness report the rape so that the police interviewed the kid? Who helped that kid? Why would that kid think he could TRUST anyone to tell? If you were that child why would you think anyone would believe what you said? I can only remember one of the Sandusky cases where the mother was suspicious of her child's wet hair and blood stained underwear. I think this was the case where the DA said there was not enough evidence to charge and then he disappeared in the river along with his laptop. That make me wonder if what Sandusky was doing was known to other people. People who might have been involved with Sandusky.
I have to find some time to read the report.

Don't blame the child who was raped for not telling what happened. Especially in this case because the system was completely failing them.

We just found out that a very distant family member had raped his children for years. He is a grandfather now. I think his daughters came out now because his daughters could no longer hide the reality of what happened to them as children since they now had to protect their kids from their predator father. At least they finally said something because many victims don't talk about the rapes they endured as children and let it happen to their kids.

$%^&*() STOP blaming the rape victims.

I think the penalties were not severe enough, I think PSU should be banned from sports for the foreseeable future and the NCAA itself should not get off without significant blame. A major university covering up child rape to protect what, a football team winning some games? Unbelievable that this could happen. I am astonished that there are supporters of PSU or NCAA football thinking the penalties were too harsh and should be relaxed. Children were raped by the University system, that is a huge, huge violation in a civilized country.

The University did not covere up the rapes. Individuals covered up the rapes and these are the people who should be punished. Players on today's PSU football team are in no way responsible for the actions of the people who did make the decisions years ago.

I completely agree with you Dan...there has to be more behind these severe institutional punishments...folks not even involved be absolutely ruined by these punishments...something behind this...

To refer to these little boys --- children --- who were sexually abused in the worst way by a grown man who was a revered coach on the beloved and idolized Penn State football team (and in the football team locker room and shower) as "victims" and to question in any way their motives is cruel and insensitive beyond my comphrehension. These children are VICTIMS in the worst way possible.
