Isn't this all "after the fact"? There were no proactive actions taken until the threat of these severe penalties. You had PSU officials and fans (still do) protesting PSU didn't do anything wrong. As a PSU fan told me, "we didn't do anything wrong, we're just complying with all these stupid sanctions because we are forced to so our football team can compete and get back to normal. We're being blackmailed."

Regarding the upcoming trials - why are they being held if they aren't still protesting their innocence? Did they plead guilty?

Why would implementing and compliance with reforms "ordered" by a 3rd party because the university wouldn't and didn't do it themselves, excuse PSU's horrific blind eye attitude for decades of institutionally aided child abuse?  I like how the apologists believe that McQuery is the devil not Paterno nor the administration. What was the atmosphere that even made McQuery reluctant to report it to Paterno? What was the mindset of Paterno not to personally take any action nor follow up to the very people who owed their jobs to him? Is everyone supposed to be naive and ignore motives?  What about the kids? Who in this mess has really cared about them except to do what has been ordered to get the football program "back to normal" as quickly as possible? How is that attitude any different than before it all became public?
