I read most of the Freeh Report last night. Interesting read.

The fact that Sandusky continued to have access to Penn State facilities for years after two separate incidents involving children in showers is pretty appalling. Its pretty obvious that the chain of command didn't care about the well being of the kids involved.

Yes. They have demonstrated that it would have been best. Now, like a horror movie monster, they have remained alive after what would kill mere mortal programs and will be even more dangerous. Socialogically, there appears to be cult-like phenomenon operating here, and the NCAA is feeding the head of the monster.

At the very least they should have gotten the SMU Death Penalty.
“I don’t care,” Votto said of passing his friend and former teammate. “He’s in the past. Bye-bye, Jay.”
The program allowed the behavior to flourish.
There are many things that are pretty sickening but child rape is the lowest thing on this earth, and to ignore it and sweep it under the rug because you want a shiny football program- that's death penalty if there ever were a case for the death penalty.
Joe Paterno and Happy Valley- I mean, that's a joke, right? Statues? Scholarships? We're going to let them continue on?
It's ickeyville to the max.

Oh it's definitely disgusting. I completely agree. Child rape is worse than murder in my opinion. (I'd rather be accused of killing someone than child rape)
Due to it's uniqueness as a case though, I don't think imposing penalties is as cut and dry as some would like it to be. I get everyone's perspective. It was a disgusting situation and punishing the football program is a logical followthrough - which I support for the most part - we just disagree on the severity of the punishment.
After reading the report in full, I can definitely say there are 2 or 3 members of the PSU administration that deserve jail time.
