sleeper;1324898 wrote:Yes. You see bad publicity gives everyone a chance to say "Wow, look at how Penn State handled the situation and now are an advocate against child abuse". Now you may say "Well other schools most certainly are against child abuse" and I agree. But no other school is the flagship for preventing child abuse than Penn State.

Tiernan;1324991 wrote:Most of them were offered other scholarships at other "premier academic universities" too which they could have attended. But a pathological liar and senile pedophilia apologizer came into their living rooms and promised them certain expectations (if) they came to their university. The liar got hired by another university so he could continue lying to more young people and the apologizer too the easy way out and died.

LJ;1325107 wrote:Uh yes they were. They were suspended games last year and their indiscretions were directly mentioned as the reason for failure to monitor. Do your research.

wkfan;1325129 wrote:You are correct...I was focusing on the Tat 5. However, these indescretions came to light after Tressel was already gone. While they may have contributed, Tressel's actions alone would have caused the bowl ban that should have taken place last year. With just these 'crimes', there is no bowl ban.

Part of me was very uncomfortable with him being celebrated and hoisted on shoulders.

But then he also got us a national title and the first one since 1968, so that definitely means something.
