Penn State scandal (merged)

They dont get offered a bowl, imo. No corporation wants to be around that Toxic mess

Heard a good idea on the news. Don't punish the players, let them play in a bowl, but take all proceeds and profits that would go to the university and AD, and put it in escrow for the victims.

Players aren't punished, and victims get something out of it.

I don't know, it is kind of a tough call.

I can see that. I'd still probably be for them not playing.

Not doubting what you said. Sorry if you took it that way. Was just saying the students won't be happy (not like it matters).

:hi:

that's a big move

I know you wasn't

Just in case anyone wanted to know the source

That's not going to be pretty.

Wow.

There is definitely more than we don't know.

What was dumb was announcing it. Smart to do it over thanksgiving break, but keep it on the DL.

 

[zjcvols]

Wow.

Obviously I'm taking the word of a alleged multiple offending child molestor here, but I thought it was really, really telling when he said Paterno never went to him about the allegations.

Save your sarcasm.

It was a serious post. Don't be a TRUT. No need to flip through 10000000 posts anymore to find google, here is the link:

They may not have a choice. The bowls have a contract with the Big 10. The higher end bowls could skip over Penn St in favor of a lesser team, but they would have to be selected before a 6-6 team can get an invite.

 

[VolsNSkinsFan]

I don't know the details of their contracts, I just assume no Corp would want their name anywhere near PSU and wouldn't want to bring any clients to that bowl game

Charles Robinson just tweeted this

Stunning that Penn State got itself an exemption from the state's open records law. Graham Spanier lobbied hard in 2007 to make it happen

 

[therealUT]

Charles Robinson just tweeted this

Pennsylvania's Right to Know Act, "open-law records", did not pass until 2008; was not effective until 2009. Penn State falls under the same categories as Temple, Pitt, and Lincoln and each have the same requirements.

https://www.dced.state.pa.us/public/oor/righttoknow.txt

Was Penn State the only one of these four Universities who lobbied for complete exemption?

 

[BeecherVol]

that's a big move

And a strong stance considering what has been made public. They must know something that has not been revealed, or just trying to take a bad PR situation and make it worse.
