I would say Dave Bliss at Baylor was the worst, as someone died. but this might top it, considering it was Paterno and Penn St, a coach and school which made its reputation on the Great Experiment of academics and athletics. this was a school that rubbed everybody's faces in how much more moral they were than you. Paterno WAS the exemplar of All That Is Good.

So I think that makes this the worst scandal in sports history.

And when you consider who was at the top, JoePa, one of the most legendary coaches in the game, it is the proverbial icing on a terrible, terrible cake.

Just showing my thought process. Without context, the Baylor scandal is worse. Someone died.

However, with the addition of context, I think the PSU is worse because it's a bigger story, and it involved the disillusionment in a guy who was held up as the exemplar of good conduct.

I'm sorry that was too difficult for you to understand. Are you actually George W. Bush? (end of politics)
