PSU Penalties: $60 Mil Fine, 4-Year Bowl Ban, 40 Schollies Over 4 Years, Wins Vacated

So, did they change the meaning of the word pity? I don't understand a) what you're mad at the two of us about; and b) what your point is in general, other than illustrating that you're a very angry dude.

Was I talking about the seniors when I said the word pity, or was I talking about people saying the death penalty would hurt businesses in the area? I'll let you figure that out.

I swear to god the last 5 or so pages have been some of the most unbearable I've ever read on VSN, and that's saying something.

I remember when this thread was top notch. There was a lot of disagreement going on but it was civic, logical, etc. It's just a cess pool now.

Pep rally in front of the building where a majority of the rape occurred on campus. Always a good time.

Culture was changed already.

But seriously, these fucks had a pep rally in front of the LASCH BUILDING attended by coaches, trustees, players and fans. Could this football program be any more tone deaf?

WE ARE. WE ARE PENN STATE!

Sandusky ‘Upset’ Over ‘Unjust’ Sanctions Against University He ‘Loves’

HARRISBURG, Pa. (AP) — Jerry Sandusky is distraught over the NCAA penalties issued to Penn State’s football program for the school’s handling of his child sexual abuse scandal and maintains his innocence as he awaits sentencing, his defense lawyer said Wednesday.

Attorney Joe Amendola told The Associated Press in a phone interview that Sandusky told him that even if people believe he is guilty of the crimes for which he was convicted in June, it would be “ridiculous” to think Penn State administrators engaged in a cover-up.

The NCAA imposed a multi-year bowl ban on Penn State, invalidated 112 wins, fined the school $60 million and took away future scholarships. The university leadership said the alternative could have been a complete ban on playing games and has acquiesced to the penalties.

Sandusky was convicted in June of 45 counts of child sexual abuse, including attacks on boys inside athletics facilities at Penn State, where he played college football and became a successful defensive coach under Joe Paterno.

“He said, ‘To do what they’re doing to Penn State is so unjust,’” Amendola said. “He loves the program and he loves the university.”

Amendola said Sandusky has asked county jail officials to remove him from what is effectively solitary confinement.

“He continues to believe that the truth will come out at some point, and that he’ll get another trial or another opportunity to establish his innocence,” Amendola said.

A spokesman for the attorney general’s office declined to comment.

Amendola said he expects sentencing will occur in September, although a date has not been set. Sandusky, who did not testify on his own behalf during the trial, has been writing a statement to read to Judge John Cleland at sentencing that will address all 10 sets of charges.

“Whether he winds up doing it despite what I tell him, is going to be up to him,” Amendola said. “It’s his life.”

He said there may not be anything Sandusky can say to prevent an extended prison sentence, but Sandusky has “a fighting spirit” and is “cautiously optimistic.”

Michael Boni, lawyer for the young man described in court documents as Victim 1, for which Sandusky was convicted of six counts, said the truth came out during the trial.

“We care, everybody should care, about what he presents at the sentencing hearing, because it’s in all of our interests that he have as long a sentence as possible, hopefully life without parole,” Boni said.

Amendola said work had begun on an appeal, which may not be filed until after sentencing. If Sandusky appeals to Cleland, rather than going directly to Superior Court, he would have 10 days to file, and Cleland then would have four months to rule, Amendola said.

Also Wednesday, Cleland struck from the record a filing made by Sandusky co-counsel Karl Rominger last month that challenged an order by the judge designed to figure out if lawyers were leaking information to the media. Cleland’s order on Wednesday, citing rules of legal procedure, gave Rominger three weeks to file a new version.

Rominger had argued Cleland’s demand for a sworn statement listing all material he obtained from prosecutors and gave to third parties would violate protections for attorney work products. A call seeking comment from Rominger was not immediately returned.

You guys should read the fucking PSU boards.

Black & White Illustrated (Rivals) are making a list of demands for the BOT saying that 'These need to be met if you want to prevent a PSU civil war'.

Anyone who leaves is a coward and a traitor, they are praying for ACL tears as they would be karma for those weak minded disloyal SOB's.

And it's just hilarious in general. These people are like a fucking cult and are so delusional that they honestly believe that the Freeh report is a bunch of crap, and that their Messiah (Paterno) is a man who did right by these children and is being portrayed by the media to be a monster because everyone is jealous of PSU and that Ohio State and Michigan are feeding the fodder by working behind the scenes to hurt their image.

Also, up to 5 transfers now

Silas Redd to USC
Robert Bolden to LSU
Kevin Haplea to FSU
Jamil Pollard to Rutgers
Khairi Fortt to Cal

With several rumors
Nowicki to Illinois
Justin Brown to Oklahoma
Akeel Lynch to Iowa

And several recruits in talks with other schools.
