Say it isn't so. After reading the first 3 words of this thread before going into The Tavern, I was really hoping it was going to be something other than this. A firing, bad recruiting, etc. Anything but this. Sadly, my worst thoughts came true.
I really, really hope that Sandusky-gate isn't going to open up a huge can of worms.

This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
True. And on the other side of the coin I hope we do not have false accusations coming out of the woodwork by people compelled by $$$ and the get my name in the news thing. We all know how that can work... make false accusation, get $10k per interview (Inside Edition, etc), get attention and become "known". And also ruin good people. Becomes my word against yours and the false accuser never gets in trouble.
ps - I am not defending pedophiles.
I saw the two guys on ESPN this morning. They seemed genuine. I honestly can't think of one reason why they would lie about this. They looked miserable and embarrassed talking about it.
And why did Boeheim come out and say it's a lie? He doesn't know that. Why is he saying anything at this point?

"I know a lot about the law and various other lawyerings."
Hitters who avoid outs are the funnest.
