WSR Gridiron Report

I have a hard time believing that none of them over the years did not know about Sandusky who seemed to operate without fear in the Penn State locker rooms. Very strange indeed! The janitors knew, the grad assistant knew, Joe knew, The Foundation knew, Schultz knew and so on. This means I don't have any sympathy for them.

COACHING STAFF
NOT THE PRESENT STAFF THO

Hers is the answer from S Boards

Yes, I am sure they all knew exactly what was going on. Every single one of them. Never mind that Sandusky is a decade removed from that staff... Penn State is a small place - they all had to know. So did all the students. In fact I think we should jail all 76,000 of 'em, the guilty bastards. You know what? I'm pretty sure that anyone with a Penn State sticker in their rear window knew too. Those bastards should be hung. And the alumni.....don't even get me started. I heard that that the alumni groups around the country all got together and planned this whole thing! Sandusky is just the fall guy! No need to wait for due process, I'm sure that somewhere in the Freeh Report it's made clear that all Penn State supporters are guilty, guilty, guilty.

I say we march on Penn State and Burn the campus down.... Who's with me!!!???

That's a great idea - let's shut down 76,000 students and the add 12,000 people to the unemployment line because of 3 and 1/2 people behaving inappropriately and 1 rapist.

We need to do something about Colorado then, too....that guy murdered people. In name of the victims, we should jail the entire state.

I can't believe it either. In fact I don't believe it. I read the report - it is clear that there was, at worst, a reasonable doubt and more likely every vague information and few facts, even at the higher levels plus there is a predisposition not to believe something that horrible a guy you've known for 20 years. I don;t think ay player or coach not mentioned int he report had any knowledge. That does not make it right nor should anyone with any guilt not be punished to the full extent of the law (note I did no say to the full extent of the NCAA rule book) and that goes for Paterno or anyone - but there is just no way this type of knowledge could be wide spread without someone stepping up.

There is no way that Penn State did what they did for decades with out the primary culture being one of integrity and hard work. There is no way that assistant coaches had anything other than vague suspicion or they would have come forward. Same for players. Occasionally, one or two people are that shitty. Occasionally one or two people have something incredibly valuable to them to protect. But believing that 10 or 20 people knew, without anyone stepping forward... that is simply not possible. Pure conspiracy theory. No one hates children or loves their program that much.

Further, if I were a player or coach or student, I would assume that by reporting it I would be protecting the program, not harming it. This issue has nothing to do with the daily operation of the program and prior to the NCAA declaring themselves investigator, prosecutor, judge and jury, there is no reason to think anything bad would or even could happen to the program.

Yea... I know. It's like Kafka novel or an episode of the Twilight Zone where everyone suddenly given up on due process and justice.... but that's not what you meant, is it?
