"hey, remember when penn state had a football program?"
never gonna happen
and that is exactly why i honestly believe everyone that is (or has been) associate with that university supports child molestation
So....
Punish the current coaches and players for what a former coach (now in prison) did back in 1999?
Yes, fuck over the kids who are at the university now, because those little shits should have known not to go there when they were 5-8 years old.
The kids that are at the university (which is 100% directly responsible for this behavior) are unfortunate casualties of this situation. I feel bad that they have to have their names tied to this mess, however, they can deal with it (hopefully without being raped).

Seriously? You think that by removing the football team or sports from PSU, will remove what happened in the past?
And by not thinking that PSU should lose its football program, that I support child molestation?
The current NCAA director hasn't ruled it out as an option. There is zero precedent for this type of institutional failure. It will be interesting to see how it pans out.
Obviously for the boys who were raped, it will never remove what has happened in their past. For everyone else, it will also not remove what has happened in the past. But hopefully it will help them recover, learn to better protect children, and move on.
I don't know Dan, as a law enforcement officer, or someone who wants to be in public service, I'd have to hold your morals to a higher standard. I don't see how you can possibly condone this type of behavior. Lesser schools have received the death penalty without having little boys assholes teared apart.

lol yep its just that 1 coach's fault dont hold the whole power structure of an institution that repeatedly covered for him & allowed it to continue essentially unchecked for years
While I normally think you are an unknowing twat of a kid (just kidding, you've always been incredibly mature), you obviously have grown up and can determine that this entire situation from top-to-bottom is awful.

thats like saying you cant punish a bank because the "guilty" party is no longer there. the entire point of an institution or corporation is to void the responsibility from any single party thus perpetuating the problem which is derived from removing responsibility. so basically as long as you change ceo/president whenever something bad happens there is no culpability? its time to hold guilty parties accountable and let those innocent bystanders be mad at the guilty and not the regulators.
That's not the same thing at all. It's not even close. One is corporate America, the other an educational institution. On one side you're dealing with employees, who will be no more loyal to a job than the next step up in the corporate ladder, and an athletic department and it's players, who mind you, aren't paid athletes, who are actually loyal to the university they go to (at least in most cases).
Also, punishing a bank is not equal to punishing players, unless you are telling the bank they have to reduce employees. Cutting scholarships is not the same as taking a job. Displaced employees who lose a job at no fault of their own can at least get unemployment, retraining, go on the job hunt.
Displaced students, who already don't have any financial means, and under the current NCAA regime (strict as hell towards players who would even want to transfer), say GN8 to a future that doesn't involve being night shift manager at the CITGO.
I can't even begin to describe my hatred for how fucking stupid you are Eric(k) [Which is it?]. You're trying to argue so many terrible points it's beyond comprehension of someone that is a husband, a father, an employee, and a citizen of the USA. You have had to have made the worst analogy of this story that I have heard so far: BANKS to ENTIRE UNIVERSITY FAILURE REGARDING CHILD RAPE OF 20 YEARS.
An educational institution SHOULD BE one of the safest places in the world you could hope to send your child to. It should not be a place that has condoned repeated child molestation for two decades. It doesn't matter if the molester was one individual or not, the entire institution is involved, due in part to the highest levels of authority fucking this entire situation up beyond belief. Comparing corporate policy to this is a fucking joke, did you even read what you wrote?
The fact that you said that these athletes aren't paid is fucking retarded. They are entitled to a free education (which PSU is remarkably at the highest percentage of student athletes that actually get an education). We won't go into "improper benefits" that they regularly receive at almost every institution, that's for another thread, however, you are a fucking idiot on this argument, forever.
You're trying to argue that being a night shift manager at a gas station is bad thing. Guess what dipshit, having a job today is a positive benefit to being an American, many people don't even have that. You're level of (not) understanding ANYTHING is absolutely atrocious for an adult.
