It's pathetic to see just how many people still defend and/or disregard what happened at that school, and what it says about our American priorities and culture as a whole. They really couldn't care less. That football program should have been suspended for at least 5 years.

The players did nothing and they were punished

The players did nothing and they are harassed

The current coaching staff did nothing

One more time:

The players DID NOTHING!

should they punish the whole damn town for the actions of 1 or 2 people? Those people were punished. This is a Cinderella story.

Exactly. Innocent people had to suffer and ignorant idiots such as yourself Mr OP are part of the problem. Sandusky's actions does not represent PSU. PSU is about moving forward after the hardships that many on campus went through. They have persevered. You were one of the fools who counted them down and out after that scandal, no doubt. But they showed their true pride and for you to be ignorant of that shows your lack of intelligence and critical thinking.

What NCAA rule did they violate? People who commit crimes should be dealt with by the criminal justice system. The NCAA is not the criminal justice system.

Couldn't have asked for a better example of short-sightedness. Thanks for making my point for me!

You're right. Innocent people did suffer, and it was covered up and swept under the rug by an entire institution.

Counted them down and out? Lol, what? Are you a PSU alum?

The OP should be arrested for being so stupid. He can join Sandusky in his cell.

Or maybe he's just mad Penn ST football is relevant again. Perhaps he's an Ohio St fan oh burn.

You felt nauseated because a bunch of young adults who did NOTHING WRONG have had a successful season? Next time they find a murderer in your city, why don't we take away your local 5K medals. Those students didn't do a thing and don't deserve to have people like you judge them. They have been through hardships because of disgusting and unforgivable acts by people that have NO relation to them personally.

A Cinderella story is when the same cast of characters rebounds. That isn't what happened here.

Not all but many Penn State students, alum and staff have demonstrated through words and actions that their school spirit and school pride trumps outrage over their beloved institution covering up crimes against innocent kids.

Collegiate Athletic School pride by Alum has always been weird but this put the depth of weirdness on full display.

Is that what I said? Did I mention football players or well-adjusted students?

Regarding your local 5k medals and murderer comment, not even sure wtf you were really goin for there.

This is without a doubt the stupidest thing I have ever read. The fact you think this is anywhere close to the same is laughable and speaks to your minuscule intelligence.

Poor Penn State. Oh poor, poor Penn State. I also lament your persecution. You all need your safe space away from all those child advocate bullies. You deserve to believe your institution is the best no matter what they did to innocent kids!

How so? The actions of one person shouldn't affect people who had nothing to do with those actions or had no way of preventing it.

Perhaps you have the minuscule intelligence who can't understand the point of the metaphor.

Penn State students and alum get butt hurt because people hate the school based on what the school did. (Or didn't do). If they choose to go to the school then fine. Just know that people that despise your school have ample reason to do so. Nothing to do with the teams silly football record.

Punish the administrators for protecting the scumbags? I'm in. Punish the alumni desperately trying to bury the story? I'm in. Punish the NCAA for trying their best to bury the story? I'm in.

To use the players as a innocent victims is shameful. More perversion.
