(11,304 posts)show any and all schools that no one is above the law. I personally would have taken them out the following year also. I would think the students who's primary reason they go to college is to get an education and not play football. Colleges need to start putting priorities first. Yes many of these students are going to get a raw deal. But what a lesson they will learn in the long run that their school thinks more of their coaches than their players. What a terrible lesson some of these young men learned who were raped.
I want to tell you that I had alot of respect for Joe P. and his university. Power sometimes tend to let people not to the right thing. Where I blame him is he knew he had a man that raped children and didn't fire him. He could of at least done that much. He didn't because they were close friends. He knew alot about Sandusky yet I wonder why he never reported him to the police department. Joe P. was highly loved and rightlyfully so but it comes down to he had the power to fire Sandusky and he didn't. Like I said the coaches and players were more important than the young men that were raped.
