Penn State Latest

Vinnie from Pittsburgh was bringing a knife to a gunfight in the gray matter department, there are some real dimwits with their own radio shows these days. And is it not a bit odd that such a shameless Paterno apologist is in St. Louis? Both guys comes off badly, but for different reasons.

Was a bit curious about the case mentioned at the end of an appellate opinion allegedly accusing Emmert's own administration of covering up rape allegations at UW. Anyone know the specifics?

 

That St. Louis guy has had a hard-on for Paterno since the Freeh report came out. I don't know what his connection to Penn State is, if any, but he's damn near a cult hero to the lunatic fringe on the PSU message boards who want to pretend this whole thing is no big deal.

 

How Pennsylvanians feel.

More of this ignorant, intellectually dishonest "raising any possible question about anything related to Penn State is equivalent to defending pedophilia" argument?

First of all, Paterno didn't "fuck any little kids." Sandusky did.

Paterno was criticized by the NCAA for doing nothing more than reporting what he knew to the athletic department and not investigating further. The NCAA then says in it's very next report that a head coach is not required to investigate, only to report. How is that not a double standard?

And on a personal note; your ridicule neither hurts me nor makes you look any better. It takes a real coward, devoid of any semblance of character to show such a lack of respect for a stranger via internet message board. I hope you feel like a big man, though.

 

"In adversis, facere legali minimum."

 

They lost their third commit when WR William Fuller switched to Notre Dame today. Down to 11 in the Class of 2013 now.

 

Dpfunk, it appears you follow your moral compass, Saint Joe, in equating NCAA rules to morality. They are not the same thing.

 

I never said anything about morals. I simply questioned the NCAA's standards.

 

And the standards for this one are wildly, wildly different. There is no comparable to what Joe Paterno did or neglected to do.

 

Emmert stood in front of (not behind) a podium and criticized Paterno for not investigating further. Then, the NCAA said in it's next report that a head coach is not required to investigate further. It doesn't matter what the crime is. The NCAA didn't say, in the UCF report, "the head coach isn't required to investigate further ... unless the act in question is pedophilia."

Just because you weigh one crime as worse than another does not mean that it is not a double standard.

 

Yes it does. There is no reason for anyone to give a flying fuck what has ever happened or will ever happen in another NCAA-related case. It is not a double standard. It is two completely different cases that are a universe apart.

Now don't you have some de-committing recruits to Twitter-bomb and harass?

 

Do you think a free meal taken from a booster and serial rape are equivalent infractions? Of the two, which is more likely specified in the NCAA Bylaws?

Perhaps this accounts for differing 'standards.'
