Told them to shut up, borderline name-calling, etc. In other words spoke about intensely as I've ever seen anyone on a panel on OTL.I can't find it on the world wide web. I saw on his twitter that he said something about victims going back to the 70's? WTF? Oh and do tell what he said about the kids.
In general agreement with that article, as I have made abundantly clear in this thread.
The other astute point he made on OTL was that whenever this sort of thing happens, especially where kids are victimized, then a bunch of people always get in a fight to the death to try and reach the moral high ground, like it's a competition who could be the most outraged.
I suppose it can be chalked up to human nature.
The other thing I agree with him on, is that if the NCAA does decide it needs to step in, then it has to institute the death penalty. If Emmert and co. decide they have no ground to act, that's fine, if they do, then anything less than cancelling the season would be insulting, for lack of a better term.
It was a foregone conclusion that the Paterno statue is coming down. I don't know why that particular issue is the big deal with ESPN. It's basic intuition, if for some reason they decide to let the statue stand, it will have to be under guard 24/7 indefinitely.
I'll tear it down myself.
Well, Emmert is shooting his mouth off. He hedged a bit in that interview, but he's still putting out the expectation that the NCAA is going to get involved. Stupid.
The implication being that the NCAA can now overtake aspects of the criminal justice system...Stupid only if they don't get involved. I think the NCAA lawyers have had plenty of time to advice Emmert on what they can do. You may not like it but I suspect that the NCAA will use this incident to expand their jurisdiction in college athletics.
Just saw in the paper this morning students have renamed Paternoville to Nittanyville. This is the tent city that gets set up to wait in line for good tickets before every home game. I'm mobile so can't link, but you can check either Central PA Local News, Breaking News, Sports & Weather - PennLive.com or Home - YDR - The York Daily Record

The NCAA getting involved is a joke, and the people advocating that crap are no more than vengeful children.
It was a cover up to protect the Football Program. That's not hard to understand. That makes it the NCAAs business
The ones that don't see that are scared it could happen to their own program
It could. Better not protect child molestors
No, it doesn't. Committing a violation of NCAA rules makes it the NCAA's business. Barring that, the NCAA should stay out.
