[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What do most of you feel will be the fallout on Penn State's reputation as a whole?  Will people think poorly of the kids who choose to attend Penn State in the near future?   [/quote].  Yes,  the institution and town are toxic.  The federal investigation will find even more ... Perhaps even the murder of the unidentified victim and penn d a . Penn State is at the bottom and can only begin to [b]show good faith by canceling a few football seasons.[/b][/quote]

[b]I think that this cover-up was morally outrageous and SERIOUS punishment is warranted.[/b]  But.....What about the 40,000 faculty and students already there that had NOTHING to do with this?  What about the students (athlete and non athlete) who had NOTHING to do with the situation but rely on football generated revenue to fund their scholarships and financial aid?  How will the university pay these huge lawsuits that are sure to come without that revenue?  This is the flagship state university of a rather large state and, like it or not, football is the main revenue generator.  Are you now asking the Commonwealth of Pennsylavia (and the taxpayers) to step in an provide that funding?  The issue is that there are real repercussions to people who had NOTHING to do with enabling this monster.

I SUPPORT big sanctions againt the football program and I think that a fair % of football revenue ($ millions) should go into a fund for the victims and for sex abuse charities.  And I think the persons involved in the cover-up should be criminally prosecuted, serve jail time and never be allowed to work in higher education again.  I just do not support a "death penalty" for the football program. [/quote]
