Yeah, I would. I think a lot of folks in PA need to be reminded that some things are more important than football.

Rumors about other possible issues at PSU....

I don't think they would ever cancel the rest of the season, that said would the powers in PA have the courage to decline a bowl invitation. It would cost them millions but would be a huge message that they are serious about putting football in its rightful place in the university and taking control of the situation.
Very expensive and controversial but might be the best PR move they could make.

So you really think the vast majority of people in PA don't think this is a big deal? Really?
You need some reading comprehension classes. Since when does 'a lot' equal a majority?

In 3 months no one will remember that they cancelled a game, but their checkbook will always be short those millions that they could have made. No way they cancel anything that can bring in money. Too much at stake and afterall, money was the whole reason this thing got covered up from the beginning.

Since this is a rumor thread and I think a few have mentioned it so far, I am going to say that I think there is A WHOLE lot more that isn't out there yet. Why would they cover up for this guy for so long and still allow him to do this crap? Money sure, but I wouldn't be surprised if Joe Pa and others in his staff was involved in this crap in the past too and they just didnt want Sandusky telling on them. Maybe he flips and spills it to the cops soon for a better deal? I can only imagine what kind of sick stuff will come out then.
for public consumption... former player donates tons of cash to sandusky.

Wow, that's it, I thought I'd never utter this in my life - Go Big Red.
+1. These people are just disgusting.
Go Giants !
That's a lone stance among a group of players who have been quick to distance themselves from Sandusky.
Brad Benson, a former Penn State offensive lineman who won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants, was not invited to attend the game. He said he wouldn't go anyway -- and had no problem with his fellow former Nittany Lions presenting a unified front -- as long as they remembered the true victims of this case.
"I sure wouldn't want it be a show of solidarity for Joe," he said.
Benson spoke in anger about Paterno's actions and, more troubling, the reaction of unruly students who toppled a television news van, rioted and attempted arson after a peaceful demonstration Wednesday night turned ugly.
"There are people right now that are supporting Joe. They are rioting and doing things they shouldn't be doing," he said. "I equate these students that are rioting to the occupiers on New York City right now. They're not mature enough to understand why they're rioting. They weren't there when this happened. What are they protesting? They're protesting that someone with a tremendous responsibility failed to fulfill his moral responsibility and other people failed as well."

Man I just keep shaking my head on this. I will actually be rooting for the Huskers this Saturday. What kind of a world are we living in?
Tons of cash? it was $100. That ought to get him about 15 minutes of legal representation. It's still too much though.

If you read the grand jury report you'd understand this goes way beyond the 3 ex-coaches. The Penn State administration covered up the 98 incident (despite the police overhearing a confession) AND the 2002 incident by claiming they were never told the details. This goes all the way to the top of the university and probably sideways in a lot of directions if you consider Second Mile and the high schools at which Sandusky was allowed to stalk his prey. Paterno is a scumbag...
There's a crime and a cover up. Sandusky committed the crime. Penn State's entire AD and administration knew about it and covered it up. Thankfully the Gov of Pennsylvania kept pushing the investigation forward....
But the President, the AD and Schulz (don't remember what his title was) are gone too, although I'm sure there's still a lot of people at PSU up to their eyeballs in this cover up, probably going as far as the Board of Trustees. More heads need to roll at PSU, no doubt. But does any of that mean that you wouldn't advertise on network TV (money not going to PSU) during a football game (played by players completely innocent in this mess as far as we know)? You're not endorsing PSU by running a television ad any more than you are endorsing Nebraska by advertising on the broadcast. To me, the closest thing to an argument for pulling the ads that I can find is that you're endorsing college football, and overemphasis on the value of college football is what led these people to cover up for a child molester in the first place. But by that argument, a company should probably pull their ad dollars from all college football games, not just PSU games.
Um, did somebody say otherwise?

Come again? Administrative leave isn't gone.
BTW Penn State is still paying Curley and Schultz's legal fees.

[h=1]Sandusky Made $457G From Pennsylvania Charity Despite Child Sex Allegations, Tax Records Show[/h]
I would hope that PSU is only keeping these guys around and paying because they are contractually obligated. Unfortunately I don't think that is the case entirely (though it may be the excuse.) I think that these guys including the names we haven't heard yet are working their tails off to figure out how to keep this thing from getting bigger and sucking them in worse. This is an extension of the same attitudes and actions that brought it all to this point in the first place.
You think he's coming back? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
Whoa - just saw the ESPN ticker go by saying McQueary called his players today saying he's "no longer their coach, I'm done." Also said he stated he is in a secluded location under protective custody.
:wow:
This is getting like John Gotti/Al Capone huge if McQ is in protective custody now.

I'm just trying to figure out how a guy 22-23 years old walks into a shower and sees a guy raping a 10 year old boy and turns around and leaves. And it wasn't like Sandusky was his boss and he needed to be worried about losing his job. Sandusky was retired from PSU 3+ years.
Heard on the radio that McQueary had bricks thrown through the windows of his house and what the police called "multiple credible threats" to his health and safety.
Guy stuck himself right in the middle of a bad place. People on one side who want him fired and gone for not stopping the rape he saw and following up by taking his report to the authorities instead of letting it die with Paterno and his band of cronies. They, with some justification, blame his for the rapist being able to continue to victimize kids. On the other side are the Paterno loyalist who refuse to believe that JoePa is responsible for anything and are blaming McQeary for JoePa getting fired and all the negative publicity the university has gotten, think that if he had just kept his mouth shut they could have continued their life in ignorant bliss glowing in the light of PSU victories.
The guy is going to have to find some other kind of work. He will be out at PSU as soon as his protection as a whistleblower is gone, probably whien the whole staff is fired. No other college or university is going to want to hire him since he is tainted by this stain and he may be seen by a lot of coaches as disloyal to the HC. Put the words child abuse next to somebodies name and he won't be able to get a job at any high school in the country. He is going to have to go into a different line of work.

Should have done the right thing from the get go and he wouldn't have this problem. **** him, he can work at a gas station or telemarketing company for all I care. There comes a time in many people's lives when you are presented with an opportunity to do the right thing and he failed and failed badly! He was attached to the tit long enough after this thing happened, now he can pay for it.
