Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 757504, member: 837"] Dude, I don't care who you want to blame but let's be clear. If paterno wants credit for all the good things that happened at Ped St he inherently must accept responsibility for the bad things as well. Such is life. If you're 'the man' you get all the credit and must accept the responsibility as well. Goes with the territory. As for the story, it's much simpler than the freeh report or anything else out there: The university/program put the interests and reputation of the program in front of the interests of disadvantaged children who were allegedly (since the allegations weren't proven at the time) being raped. That is inexcusable and absolutely inarguable. There is no punishment suitable for what happened here. And make no mistake about it -- universities/boosters buying kids cars, sending them strip clubs, paying for abortions, cheating scandals ... they are nothing compared to this atrocity. [/QUOTE]
