If there are any more posts joking about PSU situation

CHS, I agree that the current student-athletes shouldn't have to bear the brunt of this either. It's unfortunate. However, if all of this is proven to be true, the athletic department showed gross negligence in not only just covering this up, but allowing him continued access to school facilities. In my opinion, the only way to deter others from ever allowing something like this again, is for the NCAA to come down hard on PSU and make an example of them.

Again, the NCAA has no power to punish Penn St here.

Both are bad but there is absolutely no humor in allegations of child rape and abuse, and what Penn State officials did or didn't do to respond.

Not even a subject to joke about.

Thank you Jon!! That's the downfall of this site. There's even individuals on this particular thread that still tend to make fun of the banning and situation. I would literally hurt someone if this would've been my own child to include those who are making jokes about this situation. Grow up.... Continue to ban them Jon!

i have kids....pedophiles are a disguting fact of the world we live in...joking about the victims i would agree Jon is out of bounds.....making Psu off limits to ridicule is unfounded..They have earned the disrespect of every parent in America......They will be referred to as pedo university everytime smack talk gets heated with thier fans...just as pierre pierce still comes up today....
a kid told a halloween joke..3 hawkeyes in a car....whose driving? answer the cops...
probably not funny to Ferentz..but probably earned...probably wouldnt tell it to kirk the day after an arrest
Humor is how people deal with difficult situations....all the "jokes" i have seen have been directed at the university..pummeling this university with embarrassing "jokes" is the least of what should happen to them....i havent seen any "jokes" aimed at the victims.....its your site..but psu deserves every bit of the embarassment..

Anytime you comment to any of the PSU crap, I see you screenname and something doesn't sit right and it actually turns my stomach more.

I fail to see why. If this isn't "lack of institutional control" then what the hell is?

Maybe when all the facts come out (and if they stand up), there will be a course of action for the NCAA, but most likely this will be resolved in a PA criminal court and PSU will sanction those employees that are guilty/complicit.
At this point in time, it is not an NCAA issue. Nor is it a B1G Conference issue.
