You said exactly what I was gonna say. That made no sense. Noone with any conscience could accept this behavior.

Go find the post where I said I accepted or condoned what happened. You can post it right here. Or I could save you some time and just tell you that YOU WONT FIND IT!

From my understanding there are some who say Paterno didn't do anything wrong because he told his boss, the AD.

its split. one detail not mentioned is that Schultz, who Paterno told was not only the VP but the head of university police. So he DID tell the authorities, but did not follow up. Most students think he did nothing wrong, most alumni think he should go.

You should save yourself some time and quit posting on this because you clearly have absolutely no grasp of what's going on.

Paterno runs PSU which means he runs the PSU police. Hope the students understand that. At least the Alumni have a conscience. But I would say it's because they have kids and feel disgust.

BOT meeting at 7pm tonight will cover two issues. Spanier, and Paterno being allowed to coach this weekend. Results set tone for rest of the week.

I think that ALL bowl commitees should get together and ban not offer PSU to any bowls this year. I feel very strongly that they all have a morality clause somewhere in there contracts. I can see sponsors complaining.

Thank you. Personally I think Paterno should go ahead and step down but what do I know, I don't have a conscience.

They're going to get crucified in the media if they let him coach this weekend.. Surely to Christ Paterno knows that he's now such a distraction to the entire University that nothing good is going to happen until he leaves. That's what makes his attempt to ride out the season look selfish and egotistical.

Not really. Rape is much worse.

Come on, ukvols. This makes SMU look like a speeding violation in comparison. This easily surpasses it.

Agree. Its one thing to be doing a bunch of coke and paying players. Its another to violate underage children.

I gotta agree there. Child rape is a whole lot worse than paying players.

Oil money buying players or a man sodomizing young boys while the univ. and community simply and only 'take away his keys.' Sandusky was strolling around the PSU campus just last week prior to his arrest according to many reports. Everyone smiling as if nothing happened. Oh, happy days.

I don't want to turn this into a side-debate. I just don't want anyone to think that I believe the crimes at PSU aren't of a more serious nature than SMU.

I agree that child rape is more serious than paying players.

The reason I referred to SMU as a bigger sports scandal is because it went all the way up to the governor of the state, and SMU football has never been the same, even though that was the 1980s. For anyone who missed it, I was responding to another post. I didn't just chime in with SMU out of the blue.

PSU needs to do a major clean-up job and begin restoring their image. It's still a great school. There's no need to burn degrees. And, it's not like they're going to go two years without a football program. They'll get a new coach and enter a rebuilding phase.

I have no issues with anyone believing the PSU scandal is a bigger sports scandal. This debate isn't even important, really.

On the separate issue of PSU's game on Saturday, these people have been supporting that program and that coach for many years. It's easy for us on the outside to say JoePa must be pulled off the sideline.

I am as disgusted as everyone else by this whole situation at PSU, and this post is the last I'll say about SMU in this thread.

Great job at coming up with a kindergarten level joke instead of responding to people calling you out on your very clear and obvious ignorance of this story. You've made yourself look foolish and continue to add to that with every post. Congratulations.

I had to scale it back so you would get the point. You dont even know why you're arguing with me so I'd say you;re the one that looks pretty foolish.

I've been thinking this since the news broke. Yes, there would be outrage about how the bowl is for the players, and none of this is their fault. It still feels wrong to give that university any sort of benefits.

PSU is totally ignorant. They are doing this to themselves.
