OT: yet more depravity; new Sandusky allegations
October 31st, 2019 at 8:29 PM ^
There goes all that healing that Penn State did by winning football games the last few years. Fuck Sandusky, fuck JoePa, fuck Penn State in its entirety!
October 31st, 2019 at 8:33 PM ^
I mean, the guy fucked like 50 little boys. I'm not sure anything new is going to really make people think he's even more of a shithead than they already do.....
October 31st, 2019 at 8:35 PM ^
You might be missing a zero there. The guy's a fucking monster.
October 31st, 2019 at 9:05 PM ^
500?! That seems...high. ugh I feel gross even typing about this.
October 31st, 2019 at 10:59 PM ^
Well, figure that the school paid an claims alleging...uh..."activity" going back to 1971. He got caught bungholing a kid in the locker room shower in 2002. 31 years, at least that we know of, plus whatever else....500 might be too much, but I suspect that 50 is pretty light, too.

Unfortunately...500 might be low. He likely started molesting when he was in his early teens...and then continued to do so for 50+ years.
November 1st, 2019 at 2:39 AM ^
Good point(s). Wow.
October 31st, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
I know it’s implied, but I would just change fucked to raped or sexually assaulted.
November 1st, 2019 at 1:27 AM ^
Agreed.
October 31st, 2019 at 9:23 PM ^
And the NCAA slapped Penn St on the wrist. Absolutely atrocious.
October 31st, 2019 at 9:52 PM ^
I can't believe fans continue to support the program. What happened there was institution wide from campus police to the president to the athletic director to the senile head coach to the assistant coaches. I know the NCAA never wants to give the death penalty again after the SMU Scandal but if anyone deserved it that group of asshats did
October 31st, 2019 at 11:11 PM ^
Was just thinking he same thing.
I suppose the thing might give the abused and their family a little more closure. I dunno, I'm reaching.
October 31st, 2019 at 8:37 PM ^
Honestly still can't believe the NCAA "lifted" PSU's sanctions. I knew from then on that if Penn State didn't get the death penalty, no one would.
Somehow PSU turned it into an "us against the world mentality" and "overcoming adversity" and it actually worked lol pathetic.
October 31st, 2019 at 8:43 PM ^
Frankly Baylor, PSU and MSU athletics shouldn't exist at this point given the depravity at all 3 schools.
October 31st, 2019 at 10:01 PM ^
seconded
October 31st, 2019 at 11:47 PM ^
Add UNC athletics to that list. For a better reason, sure, but there's still no question that UNC athletics should have been 100% nuked. Frankly the entire school should have lost its accreditation.
November 1st, 2019 at 12:29 AM ^
An overwhelming majority of the athletes tested between 2004 and 2012 were diagnosed with ADD, LD or ADHD for the first time at Chapel Hill.
When Tatos dug deeper into the UNC documents, he found that not only were the high LD/ADHD rates not an anomaly and not specific to one year but that a high percentage of athletes were also being prescribed ADHD medication. While the total number of UNC football players receiving ADHD medication is unclear, a 2009-2010 end-of-year report showed that 16 of 23 freshman football players (70 percent) were prescribed medication.
Mary Willingham was a learning specialist inside the athletic department between 2003 and 2010, working with the neuropsychologists responsible for LD or ADHD testing at UNC. She says there was pressure from coaches to keep players academically eligible to compete, and that diagnosing football players with a learning disability or ADHD was helpful in those efforts.

Yeah dude. Adderall is awesome.
November 1st, 2019 at 8:31 AM ^
Holy Shit, I never knew that side of the UNC story. If you extrapolate a little more you could make the supposition that a kid without ADHD, who now has an unneeded source of highly sought after drugs, just got gifted both an academic exemption and a pretty significant new revenue stream.
November 1st, 2019 at 1:44 AM ^
Don't forget good ol OSU and Dr. Strauss.
November 1st, 2019 at 9:10 AM ^
Or that the assistant coach who all the wrestlers claimed not only knew about it but did nothing to stop it is currently a Congressman basically doing the exact same thing* at the governmental level.
*[edit] By "exact same thing" I mean he clearly knows all the crimes that have been committed and is waving his hands and denying everything.
November 1st, 2019 at 12:34 PM ^
I vaguely remember something about a head coach covering for a wife abuser, too.
October 31st, 2019 at 9:05 PM ^
That whole bunker mentality is baffling to me. “All we did was cover up child abuse at an institutional level, and now everyone’s mad at us. Wah!” Maybe I’m just not a sympathetic individual. . .
October 31st, 2019 at 11:13 PM ^
Sympathetic to whom? I'm sure you have sympathy for Sandusky's victims, or Nassar's victims, or the women raped at Baylor or all the victims we don't know about. As for the perps, they are worthy of no sympathy. No forgiveness. No understanding whatsoever.
And I am getting well and fully disgusted that this scum sits in prison being fed and getting medical care. Why?? Let's find a remote and deserted island in the middle a the ocean, drop them off with no supplies or communication and let them fend for themselves.
November 1st, 2019 at 7:49 AM ^
I don't think you read that comment even close to correctly.
October 31st, 2019 at 9:53 PM ^
I've talked to several of their fans you want to talk about a group in denial
October 31st, 2019 at 10:24 PM ^
Please don’t tell me they just don’t believe it really happened. Evidence evidence evidence. Head explodes. . .
October 31st, 2019 at 11:18 PM ^
One said he doesn't believe JoPa knew anything more than the one time and he reported it what else was he supposed to do. I said for starters how about not allowing the asshole to have an office there even after he retired. All JoPa cared about was that coaching record he hung on at the end sitting in the booth collecting wins when he wasn't even coaching that team.
October 31st, 2019 at 8:42 PM ^
Straightforward from here:
1. Penn State postseason ban
2. Penn State beats OSU
3. Michigan beats OSU
4. Michigan wins the East
October 31st, 2019 at 8:47 PM ^
Nice way to back into it...
October 31st, 2019 at 9:14 PM ^
I like it. Make it happen!
October 31st, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
destroy this university
October 31st, 2019 at 8:48 PM ^
Nothing about that damn place surprises me anymore. The decades of the JoPa reign will take years to expunge from their consciousness.
October 31st, 2019 at 9:43 PM ^
They will still idolize that pedophile enabler forever. Even the "rational" ped state fan quietly idolizes him.
BTW, FUCK ped state and all their delusional joepa loving fans and all the paternos and field goal franklin FOREVER!!!
October 31st, 2019 at 11:17 PM ^
I'm pretty sure I am the "rational ped state fan" you are talking about.
So, I'll just say what I've said to you before.
You are 100% wrong in your characterization of me. 100% wrong.
That's it for me in this thread.
November 1st, 2019 at 8:19 AM ^
It should surprise nobody because if you're a Penn State fan you can't expunge Paterno from your consciousness, because he is the history of Penn State football. Without Paterno's legacy, what is PSU? Nothing. If a big part of your personal identity is Penn State football and the patron saint of that football legacy turns out to be an unethical, compromising, child-rape enabler; what choice do you have but to bury your head in the sand and pretend that it's not true and that your school is just the victim of a witch hunt.
The Penn State fanbase reaction to his whole thing over past decade is pretty predictable; disgraceful, but predictable.
November 1st, 2019 at 8:29 AM ^
What other choice do you have? Many other (better) choices than the only choice you offered.
November 1st, 2019 at 8:36 AM ^
You're right, and some people will make a better choice. But I think Ferris is just saying that realistically, human nature being what it is, most people will not make a better choice. Sad but it seems to be true.
October 31st, 2019 at 9:02 PM ^
Why is Penn St football not being 100% shut down forever?
Answer = money.
October 31st, 2019 at 9:14 PM ^
Seriously, why hasn't this pedo been shivved to death in prison yet?
That's the usual ending for these deviants.
October 31st, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
We are...
October 31st, 2019 at 9:22 PM ^
We are...
October 31st, 2019 at 9:47 PM ^
Yikes
October 31st, 2019 at 10:43 PM ^
Now THAT is creepy.
November 1st, 2019 at 9:42 AM ^
Imagine - dude was sprung the whole time. yieeahshhhhdksksss blahshshsaaaasndyuyuuoduuukkkk
October 31st, 2019 at 9:56 PM ^
JoePa knew..
October 31st, 2019 at 10:17 PM ^
Of course that scheissekopf knew. And worse, he abetted it by supporting him on his staff for nearly 30 years.
