Wonder if all the people crossing Penn State off their lists due to the corruption are also getting ready to move out of DC as well. Plenty of pervasive corruption in DC government. Or maybe they pick and choose their high horses.

Sounds like its more than one monster--an entire culture in the university's administration that has one focus=$$$ (not students)

He isn't--heading into senior year and was looking at top physics program. Plus, we have a friend with similar stats and got a lots of scholarshiop $.

As a parent, I told my son that PS is crossed this off the list after reading FBI Director Freeh's report.

Why is he at Penn State with those stats?

My DD will not be going to Penn state either. I don't know how anyone would pick that school now.

Penalties are always unfair to somebody. Are you saying the NCAA can never shut down a atrocity of a program? The entire university , town and fanbase are out of whack. Closing down the program is the only thIng they fear because it's the only thing that will truley bring change. They are fighting like drug addicts. The sickness must be stopped now.

This thing is sooooooo far form over. Once Sandusky sings we will find out sooooooo omuch more and how deep this thing goes.

. 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 show good faith by canceling a few football seasons.

I think that this cover-up was morally outrageous and SERIOUS punishment is warranted. 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.

No. You'd just end up with coaches banging the players. There are plenty of women with a taste for young men, and plenty of teachers/coaches who get busted for doing high school students.

They should just give the death penalty to football. It would be the right thing to do . The football program is the reason it was covered up and in the end, it's such a small thing compared to the atrocity that took place. I'm sure most decent penn state alumni would agree the program needs a break while the university re sets and makes academics first and football second .

Guess they were worried about big stuff...like a player selling a game shirt. Real important stuff.
