I'm sure it's not going away for a while. Trial start what the 7th?

No way that date goes...not in a case this complex. Plus, if new charges are brought, they'll do a superceding indictment and that will push all the dates back. I bet its continued until sometime next year.

I know. But still, the whole program takes the hit for the actions of a small percentage. Its a classic scenario.

Dont get me wrong, I think PSU deserves huge punishment. I just feel sorry for them and the victims.

From the same article. . .

In 2007, as many as two dozen players broke into an off-campus apartment, sparking a melee that captured headlines and prompted the police to file criminal charges against six Penn State football players. "Pretty much the entire Penn State defense broke in and started swinging bar stools and stuff," says John Britt, then a third-year criminal-justice major who was beaten up in the incident. Mr. Britt says he took a beer bottle to the back of the head—and that players apparently continued to beat him after he'd lost consciousness. (Now 25, Mr. Britt serves warrants for state court in Philadelphia.)

Dr. Triponey's department began an inquiry. According to a Penn State employee's record of the proceedings, Mr. Spanier was involved in at least nine meetings with representatives of the judicial-affairs department, and Mr. Paterno was involved in at least six.

In a meeting with Messrs. Paterno and Spanier and others, Dr. Triponey complained that the players were stonewalling her and suggested that Mr. Paterno ought to compel them to be truthful, according to one person familiar with the meeting. Mr. Paterno angrily responded that his players couldn't be expected to cooperate with the school's disciplinary process because, in this case, they would have to testify against each other, making it hard to play football together, these people say.

In the end, police dropped many of the charges against the players, and two pleaded guilty to misdemeanors. The school's inquiry led to four players being suspended for a summer semester. They did not miss any games.

Coach Paterno imposed his own punishment: he said the whole team would spend two hours cleaning up the stadium after home games that fall.

JoePa fought school over player discipline - CBSSports.com

Same stuff a little diffrent, but just like this article says once you pull back the curtain the wizard ain't so wonderful anymore.

But I thought Coach P = Pathetic was old and senile. No it seems as most of us thought he knew of everything that went on with his football players,and staff, and did everything he could to cover anything negative up. Great coach or not Coach Pathetic needs to be charged with cover up Sanduskys crimes.

Penn State Scandal: Mother Of Alleged Jerry Sandusky Victim Claims Mistreatment By Son's School. Victim 1's school let Sandusky take the student off school property without the mother's knowledge or permission. The principal and guidance counselor refused to call the police when the student told them what had been done to him. The football coach at the high school then bullied the student and revealed his identity to the football team so that they could threaten him with a beating.
The principal, guidance counselor, and coach need to be fired and then prosecuted. They are looking at massive civil lawsuits for their actions.

I thought a coach fron that school is the one who got the investigation going.
Sports Illustrated wrote a huge article on it last week, and that's what I'm rememebering from that article

With more and more information comming out every week the more I think this will all get swept under the rug. There are so many different people involved up to some of the highest offices in the state, now they hired the master of the coverup Louis Freeh (look back to the Clinton years) as an "independent investigator", come on!

Unless the Feds get seriously involved I'm afraid no one but Sandusky and the two others already charged will feel the pain they have caused. They are all protecting their program and themselves. Sad!

No program OR Academic Institution is too big or "untouchable". Did anyone see the interview with ESPN contributor Steven A. Smith? He believes that there should be a thorough "housecleaning" of both coaching and administrative staff---essentially the program should be shut down, which in essence would be similar to "Death Penalty". However, (he continued) the players should be allowed to transfer to a program of their choice without interference or limitation from the NCAA. Will proceedings go that far?? Too early to tell as each day it seems new info is discovered. One thing is certain (IMO), this is far from over...
