I understand that the punishment now is a moot point, however


My frustration stems from the fact that the initial penalty was far too mild and lacked teeth. The problem with this case is that it so far beyond the pale of just football. This institution hid a monster for 25+ years to A) Have an amazing defense while he was coaching and B) Protect Joe Pa's legacy once he left the program. People knew, at the very least in the football program, what Sandusky was up to and they turned a blind, or, they outright enabled him by giving him full access to the football facilities to carry out his crimes. Football trumped children's safety and human decency. The culture needed punishment and got a slap on the wrist. Then, on top of all that, after O'Brien leaves they hire James Franklin. The same James Franklin who had been implicated in a rape cover up at Vanderbilt. So go ahead and defend and give moral equivocations for academic fraud and players getting illegal cash. The fact of the matter is PSU learned nothing from the horror show they let run in State College for a LONG time. They should never, never, be allowed to forget what they let happen up there.
