Truly, this story gets sicker by the day. I found the football game at PSU yesterday to be absolutely nauseating.

Now that's just ridiculous. So now you're holding the entire PSU community culpable? The team, the students, the professors, the administrators who are not remotely connected to this tragedy? Yes, it's unspeakable, yes, it's horrible... but guess what? Life goes on. They've caught the monster. The healing has to start somewhere.

I'm holding the entire PSU community culpabale for drinking so much koolade about the worthiness of this "fine institution" that they were willing to construct a situation that a football coach held the legitimate administrators of the school hostage, in effect, in so many ways, for years. And the "healing" that was on display was further evidence of the denial that they are all in.

So a 19 year old female art history major who doesn't drink and who would rather sit in her dorm room and read Jane Austen than go to a football game, and is at Penn State b/c she is a PA resident and a legacy, is a guilty of this tragedy as an administrator in the athletic department? Because this is where your logic is going when you say the "entire PSU community."

Of course she is not "as guilty." But she is guilty (stupid?) of choosing to attend a school that clearly has its priorities in the wrong place.

Has anyone ever told you that you are a total nut job? Be honest.

I was a fine arts major at a big sports school (Syracuse / basketball and lax are our big ones) and I refuse to feel "guilty" or "stupid." While I took my studies very seriously, sports added to the fun and pride. It was not mandatory to attend games, and you could be involved or uninvolved as you wanted to be.

Oberlin is not right for everyone.

No. And has anyone ever told you that you live with your head in the sand?

Can we get back to the original topic? Please? Thank you.

Hey, if she has to be arrested so football at PSU can continues, so be it. We are Penn State!

Maybe they should clean house top to bottom regardless of what one knew. Get rid of any lingering smell and start fresh.

I agree that, at least from the grand jury indictment, there really appears to be an abundance of signs available to Mrs. Sandusky that her husband was a a pedophile. On the other hand, please be careful not to engage in the guilt by association blame game. Some of a pedophile's most injured, most horribly wronged victims are their family members. I feel especially for Sandusky's children. Poor kids, they're going to pay a heavy price for their father's sins.

Well, that Big Ten Athletics money is going to go to some HUGE settlement payoffs, for sure! I would not stand behind PSU, even if I was an alum. I would cut all contact. They enabled this.
