Penn St's AD Tim Curley charge with perjury: sex abuse

[The Tonya Harding of Twitter Users Creep]

Isn't the NCAA just a club that can just kick people out if they feel like? I don't see how the government could have any jurisdiction over their membership policies, beyond ensuring they are non-discriminatory.

Not really.

Not really.

well, they can set rules up that allow them to kick out members, right?

If the stuff that's coming out from the Penn State blogs and message boards today are any indication of their fanbase's overall current disposition, then the NCAA didn't go far enough.

Of course.  A fact I am sure they brought to PSU's attention when discussing penalties.

If Snyder was caught in the exact same situation, you don't think GPC'rs would defend him to the end?

The QB in Paterno's last official win was Mike McQueary.

Perfect

But at least there is a fair share of our fanbase that would be disgraced by it. Their fanbase is 98%  :powerespect: whereas ours is probably 75%

To sum up my State College weekend:

Penn Staters are weird

Still selling JoePa crap everywhere, town is still a shrine to him

I slept in and missed the statue removal

Oh, believe me, the shitstorm on GPC and KSF would be unbearable. But I'd say damn near all of this board would want Snyder's head on a platter, and we're definitely not an insignificant representation of the KSU fanbase. There are a number of "silent majority*" fans who would recoil pretty readily as well.


*fans who aren't entirely vocal and occasionally trend towards tuck-y but aren't entirely blind either.

It would be weird seeing OK_Cat show signs of tuckism.

I think K-State/Snyder is the most apt comparison to JoePa/PSU in college football and even then, Penn St at least twice that between a 50 year tenure and national championships.  Yea, this board would be calling for his head, but we would be sitting near a 2 to 1 split in favor of Snyder apologists
