Believe me, I am the last person to be trying to make some sort of argument from some sort of sanctimonious moral high ground. I expect athletes to be immature, entitled and arrogant. I expect coaches to be arrogant blow hards who place FAR too much importance on what is basically recreation and will stop at basically nothing to win. Unfair? Absolutely , but my point is that I really don't care what these guys are up to for the most part. But where this is different is that it's a program taking itself SO seriously that it's putting it's reputation ahead of the welfare of a chain of kids being molested in its own facilities.

How are you making this leap? A rash of kids doing blow or three athletes charged with sexual assault or three off-the-field criminal incidents involving players or a cheating ring or whatever -- we're going to cite the PSU situation as comparable? I don't buy that and I can't imagine a scenario in which people don't see this thing as the very definition of extenuating circumstances.
