Message: [QUOTE="tep624, post: 870291, member: 430"] My logic about the community is very simple - they were participants in the program, whether it be as a fan, a business owner, an alumni, employee, etc. We're talking about allowing despicable felonious acts to occur, not slipping someone a grand to commit to your school. This transcends all that. They were participants in a program, whether it be on the fringe or otherwise, that had a culture that it was more important to keep the program intact then to stop children from being assaulted. The culture is instilled from the top down, not the bottom up, in a program like that. My point is very simple - putting football above all else was the culture there, it was reflected in the administration, the AD, the football program and the community at large, and it does not look like that has changed. And from O'Brien's comments, from someone who is much closer to this than any of us, it still looks like it hasn't changed. [/QUOTE]
