I think BITB hit it out of the park today when talking about this not being about this crime, but how major sports teams cover up things in general. In no other business, setting, etc. does no one call the cops, at least eventually, but Penn State isn't alone in their actions. He surmises, and I would agree, that a strong majority of major sports teams would have handled the situation in a similar manner.
It's pretty sickening, but he is right.
