Penn State

[clyde]

4 reasons they won't:


1....Nebraska

2....Ohio State

3....Wisconsin

4....WrongTurno

Does that mean I need to cancel my cub scouts troop visit to the athletic dept. up there at Happy Valley?

They probably should have just posted signs prohibiting the anal rape of young boys in the shower. I'm sure Coach Sandusky is very embarassed by this regrettable misunderstanding. How in the world was he to know?

We really need to consider the needs of the victim here, Penn State football, and ask that you respect their privacy in this difficult time. Let's certainly not distract them as they are flirting with a Big 10 championship game appearance right now.

Sad, sad, sad...when will folks in position of power realize that under the law, they are not exempt from moral behavior? I will not immediately call for Paterno's head, need to see the facts come out...what did he know, what did he do etc. but I doubt my opinion counts for anything, the lynch mob is forming and Joe's head will fall...hopefully the University President and other bigwigs will likewise be held accountable. It's a sad end for Joe but that pales in comparison to the damage done to the victims...what a world!

I have read the report before, while it details the perversion, it is light on Paterno's actions...I agree he has questions to answer but I stop short of demanding his head as he did report the incident to both the AD and the man charged with running campus police (whom I suspect would have immediate jurisdiction)...there was obviously a coverup, who all it involved is as of yet undetermined. A sad state of affairs to be sure!

i havent heard many people calling for Joe's head criminally... just that he needs to resign or be kicked out of coaching PSU.

Do you really think reporting this incident and then wiping your hands of it is enough? Morally?

Listen, even if he did everything correct (which I dont think he did, morally) he needs to step down just because he's associated with all this and how horrible of a crime this was that occured in HIS program. He shouldnt even be coaching this upcoming saturday.

Joe Pa why didnt you do more? Its regrettable that he leaves Penn State like this, but like Somer said it pales in comparison to what victims had to go through.
