This is getting so much more ****ed up...

That makes no sense. The program wouldn't cover things up to protect its boosters, who cares if a booster goes up the river. If it was a cover up it was a cover up to protect themselves after they covered up the initial report to protect Sandusky.

Right, losing million-dollar boosters would be no big deal :rolleyes:

I'm not saying that's why they did it. I agree it was more about protecting themselves. But to say protecting big-time boosters wouldn't make sense is just foolish.

They covered Sandusky's a$$ in '98, at which point they were all in. Now they are all out and hopefully all going up the river.

Did any of the 'journalists' have to eat crow after all those rumors following our massive drug fiasco last winter? No, the media can pretty much say anything nowadays and get away without as much as a retraction or apology. As Cartman would say, they're 'simply asking questions'.

Madden: Sandusky a State secret - Timesonline.com: Mark Madden:

This is Mark Madden's story from April 3-4 this year. Look at the comments from April.

Madden seems like a credible journalist in November doesn't he? Don't think he'll be eating any crow.
 
The donations of a few high end boosters pales in comparison to the financial hit they are going to take as a result of the scandal. Again there is no motive to protect a booster, thr motive is to protect yourself.

Look at it this way. Suppose you run a large profitable business that is believed to be legitimate. One of your employees sees a high up employee using the business to sell drugs an launder money with some of the profits benefiting the overall business. Now you certainly have a motive to cover this up, but your motive is to cover it up to protect your overall business and reputation NOT to protect some of the regular junkies that buy drugs from your rogue employee.
 
This isn't a football scandal, it's a child molestation scandal.

But football is most certainly the backdrop for what happened at PSU.
 
How the **** are there so many ****ed up people in this world? Good god. I also don't understand how someone that messed up in the head is able to gain power and wealth. I feel like they would be too mess up to function throughout their life.
 
I am getting to the point where im going to just need to stop and turn away. If i start to think about this and keep reading how sick this thing goes it will forever change the aspect in which i look at college anything. If any of this is remotely true it will just destroy PSU. Its limping along now but if this is true No way in our lifetime the university will recover from this.

Sometimes, desperation trumps sensibility.
 
You don't understand, I'm not saying there wasn't a cover up. In saying if there was it was to protect the university not a few rogue boosters.
 
The connection you were arguing lies between an assistant coach and potential boosters to the program.

Now the later is only a rumor but it is all plausible as to why a program would try and bury it.

I'm thinking that it would be to protect everyone involved. Once a booster goes down, the NCAA starts looking around, checking into the program, and the crap would hit the fan.

I think we are arguing semantics here.

It's disgusting, but really makes me think that this type of thing is more widespread than I had ever imagined.

You have to look no further than West Des Moines & the Johnny Gosch case, and the [ame="http://www.amazon.com/Franklin-Cover-up-Satanism-Murder-Nebraska/dp/0963215809/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1320958936&sr=8-1"]Franklin Cover Up[/ame] in Omaha to see how widespread "this type of thing" is.
 
This whole mess seems to get crazier by the minute. I assume it's all going to come out eventually.

It makes me think of that line by Morpheus in The Matrix, 'how far down the rabbit hole are you willing to go to find truth?'
