It reads worse than it sounds. In the audio clip, it was less him dismissing the allegations and more him focusing on the support of the kids instead of the allegations, if that makes sense I get that's what he meant. It just comes off as kind of foot-in-mouthy. Not a big deal in the long run. When I read it, I thought it was pretty bad. I then heard the clip on the radio, and it wasn't as bad

I'm just looking ahead and seeing a bunch of student athletes who had nothing to do with this get punished
-
well we'll see how it plays out, but I think this is a unique situation that's not so clear cut in terms of how the NCAA becomes involved. If the assaults/rapes were a) by an active coach and b) committed against student athletes, I think there's no question about their involvement. This case, however, seems murky at best.

so if you run practice and coach the kids all week but don't call the plays you're not coaching? When's the last time JoePa legitimately ran a practice? his current leg/hip injury was because he got hit during a practice. maybe he's doing nothing, but maybe he's coaching during the week, game planning, etc. I have no idea. But the fact is, he's NEVER worn a headset or held a play list, but no one questioned whether he was coaching until he became and old man

If Ron Zook murdered some people and he was busted shortly thereafter while the school and program cooperated with the investigation I doubt the NCAA would get involed. If his assistant murdered somebody and he knew it and he tried to sweep it under the rug and they found out by other witnesses a decade from now, and he was still there, i think it might be more likely they would get involved. But again, how does it involve the football program or university (outside of Zook working for them)? Everyone involved should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but why should the students in the football program suffer because the AD and President of Penn State are cretins?

I'm conflicted about how the NCAA should deal with this. What is the precedent as far as members of a football program coaching staff committing criminal acts unrelated to the program. How did the NCAA get involved? If Ron Zook murdered someone, would there be NCAA sanctions on Illinois because he's the coach? Can the NCAA apply sanctions to the school because they didn't "do the right thing morally"? Not sure where this will lead

having the punter run around would have been the most [expletive] thing ever.

Nice road win

what a bunch of eriks in this thread

PAY MATT FORTE

That works

Truffle, from one PSU fan to another......you're on your own here, buddy

Nebraska vs. Penn State at Noon? Surely it's a better game than Michigan/Illinois or aTm/KSU

Rahm Emanuel call Epstein down to City hall for chat.
Derwood replied to Hollandsworths mug's topic in Chicago Cubs Talk
Rather than tax everyone in Illinois (or Chicago) to help pay for stadium renovations, just target the residents and businesses of Wrigleyville who have made money hand over fist because the stadium is there -
yeah, the coach just got fired
-
Only if the defense only gets 9 players

A non-AQ school can qualify for the BCS without filling the usual qualifications for doing so if they finish ahead of one of the BCS AQ champs in the final standings. I think that's what you're thinking of. There is no scenario in which a BCS AQ champ does not go to a BCS game. I knew I had that wrong
-
There are a lot of NFL players in both these defenses. In that they will be good enough to play in the nfl, or they are already being paid like nfl players? I'd guess paying players is less of an issue than allowing a coach to rape little boys in the shower. Penn State built a special shower for Sandusky to rape kids in. :roll:
-
isn't there some rule with the BCS where they can take a non-conference champ over a conference champ if the champion is out of the BCS Top 25 or something? I could be making this up
-
I was kinda hoping the NHL would contract the team during the second intermission
-
Not happy about Nebraska losing today. Just means they're going to be pissed off next week
-
this is like watching a basketball game without a shot clock

Finally home from work and turning the game on, and [expletive] me, ND/WF is on ABC and OkSU/KSU or Bama/LSU is nowhere to be found. ESPN3 it is, I guess EDIT: Forgot Bama/LSU was on CBS.
