PSU Freeh Report: Leaders Concealed Information & Did Not Act to Help Kids

[SethMode]

People actually lost jobs/internships because their degree was from PSU?

I must know where this business was located, because that makes absolutely zero sense.

Of course it makes no sense. Just like it makes no sense to hire someone based on sexual orientation or race. Doesn't mean it doesn't happen, and again, it's not like they came right out and said "Son, you went to PSU, you're gone." He (in this case, my cousin) got an internship at a law firm that was extremely excited to have him, only to turn around and let him go a couple of days after the PSU shit broke (more specifically, the boneheaded riot for Paterno).

I'm surprised that people are surprised by this.

I personally know people that lost internships AFTER getting them because of scandal. Are you joking? Your logic is silly here. 1) I'm sure it has happened and will happen; and 2) it's not like when it happens the employer will say "we're doing this because you went to Penn State".

I suppose next you're going to tell me employers don't hire based on looks either, right?

No, I am the only one being logical. People who would do this obviously arent logical.

What city was the law firm in, if you don't mind. Obviously, sex/race/looks/assorted random bullshit all influences hirings.....but for what happened to influence a random person's status at a business all because of a football program at their university just seems over the top ridiculous.

Co-sign on what ralaw said - they're all pieces of shit.

The dude I can't understand in all this is McCreary. How the fuck do you walk in on a child being attacked in the shower and not tear Sandusky apart? I don't get it.

Harrisburg. I agree it is ridiculous, but it's not unimaginable that it has happened and likely will happen. It's not like this will be the first time in history that someone is hired or not hired based upon the name of the university that they went to (for good or ill).

Your logic of "That would never happen" is what I mean is silly. I agree, people who do this are illogical. Just like people who only hire women for administrative assistant jobs are illogical.

Not only that, but report it up and go about your business. I don't get it. I wonder what he thought when he saw Sandusky to continue to be around campus.....with kids.

Fear of the power Sandusky may have still had? No idea.

Clearly the program was being placed ahead of the welfare of children. For that reason alone, I think the Death Penalty needs to be invoked.

A harsh example needs to be made that this is not acceptable. Yeah, most of these douchebags will spend the rest of their lives rotting away in prison, but I find it hard to believe they were alone in knowing what was going on at this school for over 20 years.

Make sure no one ever puts the program ahead of what's right ever again.

The fact that Joe Pa had no problem keeping his mouth shut on this matter for 14 years makes me wonder if he was in on it with Sandusky as well.

:smh:

 

[ram29jackson]

the ncaa cant do crap about it.

If they give a Death penalty.1000 innocent people lose jobs,the economy worsens.

The football team is the identity, you kill that you kill the State.

lack of institutional control is about paying players and giving fake grades. The NCAA has no business in this at all.

the bad seeds are gone and will be. Time to move on.


.....so, how many seniors does Michigan have now ? LOL I will root for Penn State, but I aint waiting 10 years while they struggle LOL

wtf are you on?

wtf are you on?

until and unless the ncaa does anything, I am correct in everything I say.

No shit, this is the same misplacement of priorities that helped contribute to this mass cover-up in the first place. Clearly we should continue to uphold that fucked up belief system though, right?

:dd:

Welcome to VSN. Enjoy your stay.

:dd:

the priorities are the front office and the coaching staff. Not the players etc.

you dont penalize the football program as a whole nor the entire university.

 

[mgoblue2290]

The Death Penalty is awful harsh but the NCAA does need to make an example out of stuff like this to show that it absolutely won't be tolerated. Putting a fucking game ahead of the well being of children is terrible. It doesn't matter if any of those involved are at the school or not, the program needs to be punished.

 

[Rayman]

As W2B has been saying I'm not sure how you punish the university, because all of the people involved are no longer there. I can understand the desire though, so I guess some sort of punishment is inevitable.

Sorry. Missed this.

Who is being punished here if he Death Penalty is invoked? I'm curious.

The university President was the most active in the cover up. The head of the university. So yes, it was the entire university.

Not to mention the misguided and tone-deaf response of the student body and alumni in the wake of this. (Rioting, bitching about the manner in which JoePa was let go, wondering whether or not the library gets renamed and statue comes down, etc.)

I personally don't want Penn State to get the death penalty, but I understand why people are calling for it. For 15 years, every important figure at this university knew that children were being forced against their will to have a dick shoved up their asshole ... by the top assistant football coach ... IN THE FUCKING LOCKER ROOM ... AND IN THE COACHES OFFICES THREE DOORS DOWN FROM JOE PATERNO ... FOR FIFTEEN YEARS.

15 YEARS.

sorry , symbolism doesnt cut it..you mentioned individuals. Every person on campus does not need to be made an example of because of them. Just more blame game bullshit.
