Expert  900  |  Subject: RE: Penn State and the Freeh Reportchirunner134 - 2012-07-23 5:29 PM The plenty I really do not understand is forfeiting games from the last 3 years? I really do not understand that one.
99-11 12 years, 112 wins
It essentially voids all of Mr. Paterno's wins since 99 when he knew about the abuse. It was a good call in my opinion. Does it do anything besides take away all those win's and make it so he is no longer the coach with the most wins? Probably not, but I will take it anyways. |

Champion 7821   Brooklyn, NY | Subject: RE: Penn State and the Freeh Report TheClaaaw - 2012-07-23 3:04 PM jmk-brooklyn - 2012-07-23 12:41 PM Agree. And Paterno’s family is going down a dangerous road with their “independent investigation”. The results are certainly going to have to be made public, and if the inquiry is a total sham, or if it turns up the same things that Freeh’s investigation uncovered, they’ll have no recourse but to publicly admit that Freeh was right and Paterno was complicit or at least willfully ignorant. Perhaps they can hire whoever worked for OJ to find the real killer. ...or killers... |

Pro 15655 | Subject: RE: Penn State and the Freeh Report Of all the things I care about in the world.....this doesn't rate. JoPa's legacy is what it is....he covered up children being abused. We can all move on now....you just CAN'T be OK with that. No matter what good you are trying to hang on to, it pales in comparison. Get over it. Joe Paterno put his program before the protection of children. Game over. |

Champion 16743 Somewhere I can be nekidd | Subject: RE: Penn State and the Freeh Report tri808 - 2012-07-23 5:31 PM I'm okay with most of the penalties, especially since it allows players to transfer without sitting out a year. They had nothing to do with anything, so they should not be punished IMO. What I do have a problem with initially (so maybe someone can clear this up for me) is the $60M fine. Where does this money come from? Penn St is not a private college, so it's money is part of the state budget...or am I wrong here? People who donate money to the football program (boosters) are doing so thinking there money is going to improve the program, not pay for NCAA fines. Can Penn St. use this money to pay for the fine? And if so, are boosters allowed to ask for their money back? Will tuition costs rise? Will academic programs suffer in funding because of this? Will the taxpayers pay for it? If you want to fine someone, fine the people responsible. Sandusky, Paterno (who obviously can't be fined now), and the other officials deemed to have covered this up. This is one thing I hate about NCAA penalties. They often don't penalize the right people. A coach gets caught with recruiting violations, the school gets penalized and fires their coach. Then the coach gets another job with no penalty. I don't get it. How is this penalty going to stop the few people in power that can possibly make such poor decisions. Penn State is not one of the 14 state schools of PA, but it does, like other institutions receive state money. Here is an article from our local news where the governor says that PSU is not to use state money to pay the fine. I don't know how anyone will distinguish where the money comes from, but that's not my problem. Tuition has already skyrocketed at PSU over the past several years, hopefully they won't raise it even higher now. |
