| Feel Bad for Penn State?
Just read that the Trustees at Penn State are likely going to take down the statue of Joe Pa in front of their stadium this weekend. Apparently, a small plane flew over the campus earlier this week w/ a banner saying, "Take down the statue or we will!".
I still can't believe Joe Pa did this. I thought he ran one of the cleanest, least tolerant programs in D1. Now, his reputation is absolutely destroyed.
I don't know whether to feel bad for Penn State and its fans or not. I know a couple die hards, and they're taking a beating at parties, etc. |

| I feel bad for the fans and the players and most importantly the victims- the institution can burn! | |

| I feel sad for the victims. Children during that time that were abused and powers that be knew it and swept it under the rug. Don't feel sorry for Paterno at all. | |

They were not involved and would suck as a fan to know the team you cheered for had people inside the program like this. I must say, would be tough to still be a fan in the aftermath. There are some things that you just can't overcome. I feel this is one of them. | |

| Dan Patrick says leave it up, and so does a few other big sports names in the media. I think they should leave it. I say let the community decide and not the media. At some point they got to go after the remaining guilty people who could have stopped this. But all they wanna do is point fingers at a dead man. | |

| I'll say what they really mean... Screw Joe Pa. I mean that from the bottom of my soul. He could have acted and stopped this madness,but he didn't. For one reason and 1 reason only. To save his name and program. They ( PSU ) deserves every bit of anything they get. Including NCAA sanctions. | |

| Lets move this to the NCAA Forum. Nobody feels bad for Penn St. We feel bad for the kids involved that such monsters were allowed to continue to do these horrific things. If it was UT I wouldn't feel bad for UT either. I would probably no longer be able to support UT and would honestly not tell people my degree was from there. What happened was and is sickening. I hope the NCAA steps in and lays the hammer down. We like to use the terminology that life is orange and white, etc. Well its all fine and great and football is life to us but not compared to something like this. My only hope for anything involved with Penn State is that the NCAA moves swiftly so that the young men currently on the PSU football team have opportunities to play elsewhere if they like. | |

| Like others.. the players/students have my sympathy. Penn St itself? I hope they shut the place down. Death penalty in football is not enough.
They need to give each of the victims a torch, and let them burn the place down. | |
