Penn State solution

[Cossa]

I have heard a lot of JoePa apologists today state that the problem was with the Admistration, not the football program therefore the program shouldn't be penalized. Even Paterno wrote what amounted to a dying declaration saying it was not a problem with the football program, but with administration.

On the other extreme, I've heard many firebrands say that Penn State should get the death penalty from the NCAA. Personally, I lean toward this option although it will never happen.

I've come up with a "middle ground" alternative that I think most would consider fair and it would require the Penn Staters to put their money where there mouth is... So to speak.

I propose that Penn State voluntarily forfeit an upcoming game for each victim that was abused within the confines of the PSU football facility after the 1998 incident. Whether or not the '98 investigation yielded enough evidence to go to trial, it should have given any reasonable administrator or head coach ample grounds to take personnel action that would have banned Sandusky from the entire facility.

I think this solution would illustrate whether or not it was a "football problem".

just my take... if an asst coach came to me as a head coach and told me what he saw going on in that shower, I would have had a meeting with that child ,his parents, and any legal authority deemed necessary at 8:am the next morning and get to the bottom of it ...since I'm not an authority in this arena, I would have sought counsel that night before the morning meeting to get advice on the actual coordination, but GDAMNIT that meeting would have taken precedent over EVER 17ing thing on my agenda... once the demonic **** was confirmed, all hell would have broken loose and sandusky would have gone to assrapeville where he belonged... how could any head coach with 1/2 a brain and an ounce of morality not do the same thing? and then so many others in authority turning a blind eye to something as hideous as this?..are you 17ing kidding?

he didn't do it... and neither did others in authority who had the capacity to act...

I hope Penn State football gets shut down for 3 year through the justice dept.. I'm not sure this is the NCAA'S arena...but I would hope our legal system has a 3 year death penalty for these low life pieces of ****..

For each child who had their lives ruined. That certainly seems adequate. /sarcasm

You mention that some point out Joe Paterno's claim that he turned Sandusky in to his superiors who did nothing and therefore it wasn't Joe Paterno's fault.

I'd like to address that.

Its ********. Complete ********. Simply because Joe Paterno had no superiors. He was Penn State. He was more powerful than anybody on campus including the president and board of directors. They wanted him to retire years ago and he told them to 17 off.

So his claim that he turned it in to his boss is a lie a on many levels. If Paterno wanted Sandusky fired, disciplined, dismissed, or even arrested - it would have happened.

you do realize that any kid diddled off campus prior to 98 is subject to a legal loop hole with this proposal......**** , screwed again.
