Man I think ESPN is gettig as bad as the Freep. Tupac why would you agree to shut the school down what are your convictions towards shutting the team down, and the kids that gave have been at Penn Stater for 4-5 years  butsing butt to play ball and  get thier classes done?


Please never link an ESPN story  thye dont do ay fact checking and  throw any garbage out there they want.

I meant shut the football program down, not the school.

Let the school heal, there's no sense in penalizing the football program or athletics. 

There is every sense, considering Penn State should suffer civilly (if not criminally as well) for the actions. Which means a lot of money from Penn State will be going to pay the victims and I hope the money comes directly from the football program.

In addition, with this new release of material, I hope the individuals effected by the poor choices of the school's leadership get compensated financially as well, including suits aimed at the late Paterno's estate.

The fat lady has sung and it is time for those responsible to make restitution.

I think what he means is those (innocent) students currently playing football would be punished by the football program being shut down.

Why? Can you give a reason? Why you think the program should be shut down? Dont link the ESPIN article tell me why you think that would be a resonable action? I beat Joachim would have  a very concise and  well researched response.

What is your reasoning to want to keep a football program open that harbors pederasts? Shut it down. Shoot Sandusky and jail the enablers that let it continue.

Because we don't punish large groups of people who had nothing to do with harboring a criminal.

If a guy robs a bank and runs to hide in his apartment do you charge everyone living in the same complex with harboring a fugitive?

I do not recall something like this happening before.

If you are referring to SMU and Ohio State, once again vastly different circumstances that cannot even be compared reasonably to this situation.

You are correct.... those schools issues were a drop in the bucket by comparison.

No, but charge whoever assisted the fugitive (criminally and civilly) , even if it means the entire building goes into foreclosure. Do not hold back on punishment because you don't want to hurt anyone. The damage is done, there are victims but the victim is not Penn State or its leadership.

Im noit taking that bait myself,  MY reasoning is because  the actions of the few should not determine the actions of the many. You read an article by some ESPIN hack and decided it made excellent troll bait. wouldn't it  help out the victim's and thier families more  to take a portion of the reveune made at ball games   rather than shutting down  a program that supports many other programs?  I dont see womens weightlifting bringing in very much revenue to keep itself  afloat.

Im sure there were innocents in the SMU scandal that were punished too. My opinion stays the same, it's not like anyone who matters cares what I think. It's just one donutwoods opinion. While they are busy shutting down the football program though, they need to tear down the statue of Joe "Pederast Pal" Paterno.
