It is an institute of higher learning and not a sports franchise, at least in theory.
What strikes me as fucking pathetic are the losers like Franco Harris and matt Millen that defended Paterno all along. Those ding bats need to understand a few things...First, Paterno never cared about them as human beings, though, as a manipulative sociopath, he probably made it seem that way. He only cared about them, or any other individual on his teams, to the degree that they were of benefit to the program. It has been made abundantly clear that the program was his only concern. Second, great football players or not, had Sandusky bent Harris or Millen over and got up inside them, Paterno would have covered it up just like he did with all those other kids. For the program.
Right after they tore down the Paterno statue, and melted it down, they should have torn down and burned to ashes, the Paterno family home on campus. If any body is searching for an answer to what is wrong in the US, it is revealed in the Penn St debacle. You don't go to an institution of higher learning to better yourself, to be a wiser, more tolerant or compassionate, more thoughtful person. You go there to learn that all that matters is the "message", the profit margin, and the bottom line. The ends justify the means.
Who would have guessed that Liberty ,Truth, Justice etc was actually a front to an unstable foundation, all claimed in order to justify material or positional gains at others expense? It sure isnt the rock the statue stands on.
If there's one thing i've learned about life, very little of what goes on socially and politically is as it seems. Except of course down under..
Cause very little goes on here.

We are inherently lazy .
