And I don't think there's any way the U.S. Congress doesn't pass some new legislation in the aftermath to criminalize failure of an eyewitness to report such abuse directly to the police. One thing we're learning from this is that states should not have an option to be soft on pedophilia. All this makes me wonder what safeguards UA has in place for this kind of possibility. I'm sure every school in the country will be updating their policy manuals..

I'd say there's no way PA's U.S. (federal gov't) senators & reps won't have some input into and influence over the investigation and cleanup of this high-profile and far-reaching mess..

as of Wed. night, after the trustees meeting.."...over his apparent failure to follow up on a report of the 2002 incident, in which Sandusky allegedly sodomized a 10-year-old boy in the showers at the team's football complex..."http://www.foxnews.com/us/2011/11/09/penn-...-at-end-season/

Welcome to Zipsnation! Happiest man in Akron tonight: probably TW. But you might be #2

OK, why are they even talking about that other "school" during this game?

+44 I saw what you did there

Wow, took a long time....the lockout must be taking a toll...

Remember we are dealing with all the information. I certainly would have broken it up knowing what we all know. But do we know what McQueary knew at the time? Additionally from a Joe Pa point of view, he gets info from a GA, he does what he needs to do with it. Tells the AD and a guy who is in charge of the PSU Police department, that is like telling the commissioner of a police department. To me that is as handled as it could be.Now if McQueary saw what he says he saw in the indictment, how does he continue for 10+ years seeing Sandusky on campus and never questioning what happened. For Joe Pa he went to the authorities, they said they would investigate the accusation, if Sandusky wasn't removed or suspended by them, what else was he to do? Additionally there were external investigations of Sandusky by the youth organization he was involved with and they did nothing. No one is right on how this was handled, because it went on and too many innocent boys were taken advantage of, but of all parties Joe Pa is the one getting railroaded even though he told authorities, they blame him for not telling everyone?McQueary saw Sandusky raping a little boy in the shower! How much more information do you need?? As for JoePa, he definitely did the correct thing legally. That said, how do you not follow up when you see an alleged molester on campus day in and day out? Wouldn't you want to know what was found out?http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/colle...I45M_story.html"What he didn’t do, apparently, was follow up with authorities. A man who built his iconic reputation on winning “the right way” passed the information up the chain and moved on.“This is a tragedy,” Paterno’s statement read. “It’s one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.” Hindsight? A more fitting word applies here: hypocrisy. Because it’s simply unconscionable Paterno, who spent his career presenting such a strong moral front, would do so little after receiving an eyewitness account about a child allegedly being sexually assaulted in the building he runs by someone personally close to him.Paterno defended his actions, saying he spoke with the athletic director instead of turning to authorities, in part, because he was not informed of the “very specific actions” McQueary included in his grand jury testimony. Paterno, though, also said McQueary was “distraught.” That didn’t lead Paterno to ask for more specifics? That wasn’t enough for him to do more than he did?"

Sheesh, that list of schools is as long as my arm but we don't even get credit for successfully copying Cornell

"It was obvious that the witness was distraught over what he saw, but he at no time related to me the very specific actions"According to JoePa's statement, he didn't follow through in finding out the severity of what had happened. And since the AD didn't follow through with the authorities, JP should have taken further action...not just wash his hands of the incident. But he will probably skate because of his esteemed position.

The witness was "obviously distraught," so JoePa didn't question him as to what had happened under the Penn State football banner? And who were the "university administrators" it was referred to, the secretary to the assistant sports information director, so he could say he reported it?

Hmmm...is he a senior? Spoken for? iCoach must know where Wayne Co. is since we have Ladrach..

Question for anyone that might know: what is the process for walking on with Zips baseball? Do they have open tryouts? Or are all the players recruited and on scholarship? Is it a matter of contacting Coach R. and going from there? There is also still a club team, right? Is that open to all students? I know someone who is a HS senior now and might be interested. Any info is appreciated...thanks.

Like.

I dont think a deal can be struck with the aeros for daily practice and all our games at canal park...too much wear and tear and the lease would be prohibitive. Maybe baseball and track could move south of exchange if university park alliance can get the land.

Looks like WVU to Big XII. I guess schools with low academic standards like Baylor and Texas will have another friend to play football with.Want to know why teams like Missouri, WVU, etc. are passing on the Big Ten? It has nothing to do with academic standards and the Big Ten passing on them. If it was, Nebraska wouldn't get in. It's because the league is crap and schools want to be part of something bigger, not smaller. Adding Nebraska to the league does nothing more than add an average Big 12 team to the league. Granted, Nebraska is still better than 90% of the Big Ten, but the rest of the league isn't very good.Academics have noting to do with the moves conferences are making.You honestly believe that WVU and Missouri took a "pass" on joining the Big Ten? Wow. They would kill to get an invite.Maybe pass isn't the right word. They looked at better options. Missouri was always rumored to join the Big Ten and they didn't because the SEC is a better league. WVU didn't go crawling on their hands and knees to the Big Ten. Outside of Notre Dame, future Big Ten expansion will be adding garbage to an already bad league. Certainly not a Leader in college football.They aren't the Legends they proclaim to be either. Well played

This just seems to reiterate the classiness of Coles, to take in a player that you had to coach against, and who helped to beat your team a few times. Or maybe his cleverness, to use the talents of a former foe to compete against your current foes..

This isn't just about a basketball arena, it's about executing the Master Plan for the entire University Park area, with 4 different districts, and now they've hired a company to oversee it, with "projects expected to move forward in the coming months." Arena-specific comments are probably better suited for the basketball forum.

Sounds great!Here is another source, one that specifically mentions that discussions have taken place regarding an arena for UA.Nice.Projects discussed reportedly include office, retail, housing and medical private uses, as well as residence halls, research buildings and an arena for the university. Individual projects are expected to move forward in the coming months now that the relationship with KUD is in place, according to the alliance statement. “Akron has a well developed plan and vision,” said KUD president and CEO Marvin Suomi in the statement.
