The fact is that this was initiated by a single sports writer or blogger, that I will not name but will say he is not from Knoxville. Before he goes on a rant about Schiano, who by the way has never been included in what happened by any authorities or investigative bodies, .. before that my guess is that most people had no idea he even coached at PSU. Then we had someone paint that stupid rock with attacks on the man. This coupled with a bunch of ignorant (and I don't mean that as an insult but just that they didn't know anything other than what this sports writer claimed) fans panicked and the firestorm started. I believe it got so out of hand that the mob might have stoned someone if they had disagreed in public.
Now as for this same situation playing out at another school, it very well could have.
And the lesson learned.... don't believe what you read online or see in the news until you can verify it for yourself
and even then count to 10 before commenting publicly.
