Fuck you, Penn State. (And, hurts to say but, fuck you, Joe Pa.)

I'm sure they wouldn't put their OWN kids in harms way.
But they were okay with other peoples kids being in harms way.

Entirely entrenching oneself into an institution can lead to great things.

It can also skew one's priorities and perspective.

Joe looked the other way when faced with a known pederast.

Adolf had Roehm and Heines shot!

As for sexual abuse, Hitler was thus a much better man than Paterno.

Worrying about the reputation of an institution over the welfare of children.
Didn't the Catholic church scandal teach these idiots anything.
Paterno himself was a catholic, he should of known better.

My name...I have spent my whole life trying to make that name mean something. And now it's gone.

The article mentions he cried a lot. But I don't see anything in there about him crying for the victims...

They've been told their accreditation is in jeopardy. I doubt they'll actually lose it because of the harm it would do but it's nice to see them sweat.

Big-time "Kolledge" football— where America's youth learns ethics!

NCAA: Show Me the Money!
by Frank Deford

January 5, 2011

The NCAA can fairly be called cynical and calculating and just plain stupid, but the latest of this year's many scandals primarily shows that big-time college football just doesn't work any longer with a model developed for a 19th century culture.

OK, latest scandal: Ohio State. Five players, including the star quarterback, Terrelle Pryor, are caught selling their own memorabilia. That is: Doing business with stuff that is your property, like uniforms you wore — yourself — merits punishment when you go down the NCAA rabbit hole.

Previous scandal: NCAA declares that the father of Cam Newton, Heisman Trophy winner at Auburn, tried to sell him to Mississippi State.

Other recent scandals: reports from various and sundry agents and investigators that one way or another, college players are taking money. Probably lots and lots of them.

Why should any of this be surprising? College football is a billion-dollar enterprise now, and everybody involved is making money — sometimes millions — except the players themselves. Human nature tells us that it is impossible to expect that the performers wouldn't also want to share in some of the bounty.

You know what the NCAA looks like now? Like the Soviet Union as it struggled to maintain communism in a changing world that wouldn't tolerate its outdated nonsense any longer.

Proof that the NCAA is being whipsawed by reality comes in its decisions in these last two scandals. It decided that somehow Cam Newton didn't know that his own father was hustling his talent. No penalty.

It listened when the Ohio State athletic department pleaded that it hadn't done its job right in advising the players.

Newton and Auburn suffered no penalty. The Ohio State five were suspended ... but, get this now: only at the start of next season.

Obviously, the NCAA made these curious decisions because it realized that expelling Newton or suspending the Buckeye players now would deal heavy financial losses to its distinguished member schools and its meal ticket, the bowl games — taking Auburn out of the championship BCS game and damaging the Sugar Bowl, which Ohio State played Tuesday night on ESPN, the network that the NCAA wants so much to please.

The NCAA is influenced by all the money at stake. It mouths crazy, old-fashioned moral pretense, keeping its players as serfs, yet is primarily just looking after the economic welfare of its so-called educational constituents.

Where is Ronald Reagan to holler: "Mr. NCAA, tear down that wall of hypocrisy!"

It should be. But yeah, I don't see any teeth to that one...yet.

True freshman? Red shirt?


What the hell is this stuff? Is this, like— you know, kolledge? I happened to glimpse a "college" football game a couple of weeks ago and some team had a 28-year old playing who had already spent a couple of years as a minor league professional baseball player. The announcer informed us that the player figured he wasn't going to cut it in baseball and ( obviously ) decided to try kolledge football. What's that all about?


It's so inspiring and edifying to all those impressionable youngsters out there.


What's the point of studying calculus or physics or chemistry? That'll never get you anywhere.

Sorry. I guess I needed to be more specific: your own new words...

Joe got the easy way out and died. I wish he would of lived long enough to see what his actions brought about and a little bit of jail time.

anybody feeling sorry for good ole Joepa can roast in hell right next to his scum sucking ass.

Sorry. I guess I needed to be more specific: your own new words...

What can I say? You said you wanted something in my own words— and I delivered. You didn't specify that they had to be newly generated.

It's very difficult, if not downright impossible, to improve upon what I wrote the first go-round. One off, quality wordsmithing is hard, goddamn work and with the pay around this joint you have to expect mass production methods will be employed.

As a general rule, if it ain't broke, I don't try to fix it.

I wonder how many crimes have been hidden by "Upright institutions" such as Alabama, USC, Auburn, THE Ohio State, Florida, etc, just to keep the football program in a good light. How many rapes, robberies, etc, perpetrated by the players and/or coaches? Seriously, if you think Penn State is an isolated incident, then you've been living under a rock...ANd should work for the NCAA!!
