This isn't a sports scandal. This had nothing to do with the athletics side of things. If Sandusky was molesting players, then sure, yeah it has something to do with it. This has absolutely nothing directly related to the football program.

Sandusky did these activities on his own time away from the game. He wasn't apart of the AD anymore. Paterno's involvement was finding out, telling the President/Board, and then doing nothing else. He's dead and gone so he's not relevant anymore. This story doesn't belong on ESPN anymore.

It's a scandal that happens to involve some former sports figures, but it doesn't tie into the sport itself. SMU, The Mitchell Report, etc. were/are all sports scandal. This is a story of a former coach being a child molester in his spare time. Leave it to Nancy Grace and Bill O'Reilly and stick to sports talk.

Jerry Sandusky was a coach at Penn State, where athletics are played, and he used the gym to molest children.

How is this not related to athletics?

Again, WTF?

But in the gym at Penn State using the school funds for his charity. But, please continue...

Yeah, you're right. What WNBA game would you like to watch? Or which golf tournament not involving Tiger Woods should they put on?

Penn State is a university BEST KNOWN for Joe Pa and football. Sorry but they are and will always be a football school first. Anything they do ties into sports

Bill O'Reilly is an idiot.

Same goes for Nancy Grace.

I would rather Chris Berman speak on the matter than either one of those POS
