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

[Panjandrum]

I can't concoct a scenario where these victims dont own the campus and every other PSU asset when these civil suits are over.

I know that a lot of this has nothing to do with the NCAA side of things, but after it's all said and done, a part of me wonders what in God's name PSU is going to look like in 3-5 years and whether or not that behemoth of a football stadium will even be half filled.

You have to think that the long term impacts to the university overall are going to be pretty severe.  Right?

[Pete]

I pray, I honestly pray, that LSOC is correct.

   Despite grammar error.

Lol so as I read that showering at Penn State makes you an Alabama fan?

they will be fine football fan wise.  university will owe shitloads but their alumni aren't going to quit liking their alma mater and the locals will continue to be obstinate about it no matter what comes out.  audio could come out with Joe saying he was pro child rape and it wouldn't turn the base.

So, odds Joe Paterno offed himself to avoid witnessing all of this coming out?  Like, didn't take his medicine anymore or something?

Pretty good.  Or his doctor decided it was time.

Either way, Louis Freeh is basically building the civil clients case.  The whole effing university is getting hit and so is Mrs. P.

It's glorious.

Going over to the Freeh press conference at 10am since it is across the street from my firm.  Already a circus here.  Things are going to get weird.

Enjoying the updates thus far.  Would have loved to see the bike cops take that guy down.

The report highlights Penn State's decision to allow Sandusky to retire in 1999 "as a valued member of the Penn State football legacy," after allegations in 1998, "essentially granted him license to bring boys to campus facilities for 'grooming' as targets for his assaults."

I've tried to be as fair as possible regarding this mess until we knew all of the facts, but now that we know the facts, if there's ever been a more appropriate use of #teamburnitdown, I've yet to see it.

I have two boys.  If anyone even thought about doing this to them, I'd go all "Man on Fire" on them.

Didn't make it in and had to watch from the monitor unfortunately. 

But I don't see how this isn't worst case scenario for Penn State.

No matter how bad things get, they can always get worse.

I feel bad for the Penn State alums out there, but at this point that institution should just be burnt to the ground. Maybe the entire city of State College, too.

"Our most saddening and sobering finding is the total disregard for the safety and welfare of Sandusky's child victims by the most senior leaders at Penn State," Freeh said. "The most powerful men at Penn State failed to take any steps for 14 years to protect the children who Sandusky victimized."
Some of the most powerful men at the school "empowered Sandusky to attract potential victims to the campus and football events by allowing him to have continued, unrestricted and unsupervised access" to campus and his affiliation with the football program, the report said. The access, the report states, "provided Sandusky with the very currency that enabled him to attract his victims."

The report also singled out the revered Penn State football program -- one built on the motto "success with honor" -- for criticism. It says Paterno and university leaders allowed Sandusky to retire in 1999, "not as a suspected child predator, but as a valued member of the Penn State football legacy, with future `visibility' at Penn State'," allowing him to groom victims.

The U.S. Department of Education is examining whether the school violated the Clery Act, which requires reporting of certain crimes on campus, including ones of a sexual nature. The report said Penn State's "awareness and interest" in Clery Act compliance was "significantly lacking."

It's still mind-boggling.

[Dugout DickStone]

The real mumped out part of this is where they were going to go to cops but Paterno stopped them.

Dirtbags.  All of them.

The saving grace here is now it won't happen elsewhere because of this cautiIonary tale.
