Penn State University is a cult which is run by trash people (link)

At first glance, you may think the letter below was authored by a fan nutcase on their forum, but it was actually prepared and distributed by nine current PSU trustees. They are now demanding the following:
1) termination of the NCAA Consent Decree, and of all sanctions against PSU,
2) the return of all fines, and
3) that the NCAA "acknowledge responsibility for its errors." They also have "more comprehensive demands" which they will be releasing soon.
These trustees are also encouraging a riot, or I mean, in person participation by all PSU alums at their meeting tomorrow.

Dear Penn State Alumni and Friends:
As
the Trustees elected by Penn State's alumni, we are pleased to inform
you that Board of Trustees Chairman Keith Masser has scheduled a very
important meeting of all the Trustees for Wednesday, August 13, 2014 at
8:30 AM.
As
it was originally scheduled by Chairman Masser, it was only to be
available to the public via conference call. To promote transparency,
we've made special arrangements for you to join us in person. We've
reserved Deans Hall I at the Penn Stater Hotel and Conference Center,
and encourage you to demonstrate your interest in setting the record
straight regarding our great University.
As
you likely know, on April 9, 2014, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court
of Appeals issued an important ruling which questioned the validity of the NCAA Consent Decree imposed on Penn State in July 2012. The trial court set expedited deadlines for discovery, depositions and the trial. The NCAA recognizes the obvious danger inherent in the Court's ruling and has moved quickly to seek a settlement.
The rush in the Freeh Report in 2012?and the Consent Decree that blindly relied on it brought tragic consequences. The Freeh firm and the NCAA created that rush, but only because the Board was intimidated by them and allowed them full control. Now, once again, the NCAA is trying to create a false sense of urgency to end its litigation risk. Not this time. We must control our input on the content and timing of the settlement discussions.
There has been no substantive consideration of these issues by the full Board. The Legal Subcommittee says it has discussed the matter, but their meeting on the subject was closed to non-members. Wednesday will be our first opportunity for full Board consideration.
The
Court added Penn State as a party to the lawsuit to ensure that the
University's rights are protected in settlement discussions. Your elected Trustees seek to do just that. We urge a settlement with the NCAA that not only resolves the NCAA's issues with the Commonwealth, but also resolve the University's issues with the NCAA. Any
such settlement agreement must terminate the Consent Decree and all
sanctions, acknowledge the NCAA's responsibility for its errors, and
return all funds to the University. We
have prepared a more comprehensive summary of conditions for settlement
which we may introduce at Wednesday's meeting if appropriate.
Neither Chairman Masser nor the Legal Subcommittee has shared an agenda for this Wednesday's meeting with the elected trustees. As a result, we are a bit in the dark about its proceedings. General
Counsel Steve Dunham negotiated Penn State's surrender to the NCAA in
the July 2012 Consent Decree deliberations and he is once again
positioned himself to manage the negotiations that are already underway. Mr. Dunham is also keeping Wednesday's proceedings secret from us. More
troubling we have observed that key players on the Legal Subcommittee
and in Board leadership appear to be more sympathetic to the NCAA's
dilemma and less ambitious than elected trustees about restoring Penn
State to its pre-Consent Decree culture and excellence.
So, Wednesday looks to be informative and lively. We encourage you to join us and lend your voices to ours.

Probably creepy pederasts themselves. They should have disbanded their football program altogether.

Lots of skeletons in those closets. The whole town and university seem creepy as hell to me.

Only difference between Penn State and Alabama is one is blue and white, the other is red and white.

Not sure they have a case here. They didn't violate NCAA bylaws, but the NCAA membership has the right to vote anyone off the island for any reason and Sandusky was as good a reason as you can have. They accepted the sanctions to avoid explusion.
If they want to argue that the people responsible for the scandal are gone, that's a fair point, but the NCAA is under no obligation to commute the sanctions.

The gameday and football atmosphere is incredible. The town itself has a lot of decent spots as well... But, Central Penn has lots of weirdos that never left the area.

I can understand the State of Pennsylvania, which owns Penn State, protesting the exorbitant fines, as the NCAA has no authority to demand such a payment from them. That makes sense to me.
However, from a PR standpoint and considering that ESPN has become the social justice crusader of our time, any backlash against any punishment received from the Sandusky fallout will be met with all the fury of the Flaming Sword of Disney-funded Political Correctness.
Bad call, Penn State

Trust me, I know how much worse we are than everyone else. And Hail!Hail! will continue to carry the torch, like a true Michigan Man.

its really incredible how fully in denial they are.

Ehh... I don't think they're creeps but PSU is a fandom where denial and a win at all costs attitude has set in to the extreme level. The sanctions were almost over anyway - there was no reason to try and get them removed.
That said, James Franklin is the opposite what that fanbase needs. Sure, he'll win games but unlike JoePa who made people feel like they should aspire to honorable things and doing things the right way before it all came crashing down, Franklin is a combination of Lane Kiffin and Urban Meyer.
I do believe Franklin will have some success there but I don't believe he's good for the university or the fanbase. He'll make them feel good with his words, cockiness, and attitude but he's the kind of guy that when you get some distance on him you realize what a lousy person he is.

Aggies are a bit more strange than PSU fans. Plus PSU has hot females and a great campus.
