I guess it is that difficult. But I don't have the time to hold your hand and speak to you in small words to make sure you grasp what many of us have been saying. Some of you don't think the NCAA has a case. I say that they will find a case, even if it means creating a precedent (and in the...

It's really not that difficult: everything PSU's administration did - with Paterno at the top, their AD, and more - was to protect the football program. The AD is supposed to be in charge; he wasn't. That means the chain of command, institutional control, was lacking (and a lot of other schools...

Let us get you a more sturdy shovel for the hole you're digging.

Their turn will come, as it will for the trustees and the state's sitting governor.

"If the NCAA prosecuting Penn State keeps another monster off the streets or makes an administrator value justice more than the football program, it's worth it. A sexual assault scandal at Montana recently cost the AD and football coach their jobs. Maybe that school...

This isn't society as a whole we're talking about, but the insular society that is Penn State and Happy Valley. And based on some of the accounts, Paterno helped keep it this way. Now you can see why.

Just wait until the season starts. I fully expect ABC/ESPN and maybe even BTN to talk about how PSU has come together to overcome, blah blah. Better have the puke buckets ready.

This is news?

The PSU stuff has certainly provided a great distraction from their own morally corrupt coach & school, hasn't it?

You should be embarrassed that you were still listening to Cowherd in the first place.

Haven't had a chance to read all of this, but it's been apparent for years now that SOS only matters if you're not in the SEC. As a conference, they tend to play such a joke of a non-conf schedule, yet nobody cares.

You're right. The NFL should drop the Super Bowl in favor of a BCS-style championship. :rolleyes:

I'm betting this was your view a year ago?

While I think the argument could be made that the Sandusky stuff contributed to a quicker demise for Paterno because of the stress and all, the timing of his having lung cancer was probably a coincidence. Lung cancer is often detected late, and thus makes it difficult to treat. I had a relative...
