The media's over the top,holier than thou attitude on this is starting to piss me off. They're acting like JoPa himself was actually raping little kids now. Obviously this whole thing is horrific and Sandusky desrves the worst punishment possible. And certainly it appears that JoPa and others tried to just look the other way, which is also horrendous and despicable. But we don't know everything, and no one ever will.
The media now is clearly over sensationalizing the story for their own gain. That is just as disgusting to me.

Yeah, real hard for me to guess which team you either root for or have ties to. It's your mentality I'm really talking about more than the idiots who light up the Penn State boards. Your post is a big reason why I become more and more convinced the Death Penalty for Penn State is essential. You clearly don't understand the tragedy and reasoning behind JoePa's actions, and the only thing that can teach people like you is suffering.

quote:i'm not really sure how sensationalized it is? we have 14 years of child molestation and rape, we have THE iconic coach of our times casting a blind eye, and we have the university who continually was held up as being holier than thou involved in despicable acts, and probably the greatest fall from grace ever.

if anything the coverage could be even greater.

This is exactly the way I feel, I trIed to express this in another tread and I think I got misunderstood, but you have summed up exactly what I was trying to say
Furthermore, I know the NCAA is a private institution and can do whatever they want; but if they follow thei own rules than they will not give Penn State the death penalty. The Death Penalty is for schools that were gaining an unfair advantage over everyone else, which Penn State was clearly not. Even more so, this isn't even a football issue, it goes so far beyond that, the school and athletic program itself is going to be duely punished, criminaly as well as financially. All the parties involved seem to be being held responsible. Honestly there isn't much the NCAA should do, I would imagine Penn State is going to have some pretty harsh self imposed sanctions, if they have any sense at least. And everything else will be dealt with by te government, not a private Athletic Association
