19.01.2 Exemplary Conduct. Individuals employed by or associated with member institutions for the administration, the conduct or the coaching of intercollegiate athletics are, in the final analysis, teachers of young people. Their responsibility is an affirmative one, and they must do more than avoid improper conduct or questionable acts. Their own moral values must be so certain and positive that those younger and more pliable will be influenced by a fine example. Much more is expected of them than of the less critically placed citizen.
IMO this is a great idea and should be part of any NCAA punishment. It's total BS that kids go to a school and then are punished for something they had nothing to do with, while the players or coaches who cheated walk away and get nothing.Dr Winston O'Boogie;1224245 wrote:I understand that the kids there today didn't do any of this, but that is why they could be given the opportunity to transfer if they still want to play football.
Again, who involved with this is going to just be fired? No one mentioned in the report, that's a pretty sure bet. Who?Dr Winston O'Boogie;1224245 wrote:There needs to be institutional accountability. Even if the only people that knew about it are gone, so what. Without that, no institution is accountable - they can always just fire those in the know and move on.

When you are a janitor at a school or a state university you get pretty good benefits for your education/skill level. You get govt healthcare and retirement. I would hope they would have went anonymously to police, but still their worry about losing their job should not relate to their position as "freaking janitor".4cards;1224275 wrote:...Something I'd like to bring up about the Freeh report is that a couple of "janitors" @ Penn State who witnessed the abuse by Sandusky didn't say anything. Why? When they were asked about it they stated that they were "afraid of losing their jobs"! WTF, you're a freaking janitor! What their aren't "janitor jobs" out there to be had? These gutless mother FR's need to be thrown in the slammer for also not doing anything to stop the abuse & to protect those kids.

Not trampling on a mans grave. His legacy is tarnished and that's a fact. I don't care how good of a football coach he was or how many people he helped. The kids he allowed to be hurt will be what is remembered.TedSheckler;1224153 wrote:No need to trample on a man's grave.

Like I said. All that good was ruined when he allowed however many KIDS, young KIDS, get SEXUALLY ABUSED. I don't give a damn about the people he helped. He could have done the RIGHT thing and chose not to. That will tarnish his legacy.TedSheckler;1224307 wrote:Trampler. What about all the good he's done over the past 50 years?

I don't disagree. I just disagree that a Janitor values his job less than someone else.4cards;1224314 wrote:...God forbid that good benefits, govt. healthcare & retirement should be thought of ahead of that of a defensless child being raped by some psycho!

Don't disagree, but your earlier post read as if they shouldn't be concerned about their jobs because they're just a janitor, as opposed to something more "important". If anything, that thought process would be exactly backward, IMO.4cards;1224314 wrote:...God forbid that good benefits, govt. healthcare & retirement should be thought of ahead of that of a defensless child being raped by some psycho!

Sounds like they had complete control to me. That was the problem.
