Re: NCAA Responds to Penn. Governor's Lawsuit
better question, why wasnt that guy the main focus of "investigation". I feel like McQueary is somehow skipped in this situation and to me his actions were far worse than those above him, who only had speculation and hearsay to go off of. Theres not much that would stop me from giving Sandusky a serious beating let alone call the cops on him at that point, mcqueary did neither, just slammed a locker shut "to let them know to stop".

Kind of. JoPa said, and McQueary later confirmed, McQueary wasn't clear in telling him what he saw, but did say he saw Sandusky in the shower with a boy and it was sexual.
I am not interested in defending JoPa. He had a lapse in judgment and it cost him dearly. The family can quibble about the legal specifics involved with his admission in front of a grand jury, but the bottom line is he volunteered he words "fondling" and "sexual" and was not prompted. My interest in this analysis of the Freeh report is as it relates to the NCAA and its sanctions.“Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.”

Re: NCAA Responds to Penn. Governor's Lawsuit
which is BS imo, thats all. There were mistakes made in hindsight for sure by those above, so im not really concerned with that aspect of the NCAA, which i believe to not be directed at the real culprits, but McQueary should be looked upon much worse than he is. I dont think hes the first guy to come up when they say Penn St scandal or jerry sandusky yet he was the closest to the actual crime otherwise and failed to do anything substantial. He may not be the monster Sandusky is but hes no saint either.

Re: NCAA Responds to Penn. Governor's Lawsuit
OKay, that turned my stomach. If I saw that shit I would have walked in and beat that sick old bastard to death.
But. That doesn't say what he told Paterno he saw. Maybe I am just playing devils advocate a bit but those trying to lay a good portion of the blame at Paterno are misguided. And what I mean is, saying that Paterno should have known and done more is part of the reason the football program got such heavy sanctions.Last edited by NCRAVEN; 02-11-2013 at 03:12 PM.

Re: NCAA Responds to Penn. Governor's Lawsuit
Paterno not going to the cops IS part of the reason for the NCAA sanctions. The fact he helped cover up a crime committed on PSU's campus, with the help of multiple higher ranking school officials, shows a lack of institutional control.
PSU covered up a crime to protect its football team. There's no denying that. The NCAA handed down punishment because the crime(s):
A) Involved members of PSU's coaching staff
B) Occurred in the football team's building
C) Was covered up to protect the image of the football team
This was not an emotional decision by the NCAA. They could very well have handed PSU the death penalty but didn't."A moron, a rapist, and a Pittsburgh Steeler walk into a bar. He sits down and says, “Hi I’m Ben may I have a drink please?”

PSU didn't cover up anything. PSU isn't a person it is tens of thousands of people. A few individuals had tragic lapses in judgment, how is the logical conclusion from this that the university has a lack of institutional control? Actually, say Jopa and Co. went to authorities right away, how would that be a reflection of not a lack of institutional control?
