Penn State: This Isn't the Aftermath, It's the Beginning

Since Sunday night, I have been beating on the story at Penn State...As much as I rant and rave, there is nothing that will set me off like stories of children being abused...So when the story of former Penn State assistant coach, Jerry Sandusky being a child rapist broke, I flipped...

Then it became clear that the University, Joe Paterno, the President, the Athletic Director, and assistant Mike McQueary didn't do nearly enough to stop and prevent this from happening...Then it started looking like a cover-up...Let alone, it seems like they were all enablers for Sandusky...

Then I read about Ray_Gricar...This guy was a DA investigating 1998 allegations against Sandusky...He didn't have enough at the time, but suddenly in 2005 he ends up missing...His laptop found in a lake with the hard-drive ripped out...Why? Was he on to something? Yes this sounds like conspiracy theory shit, but let's be honest...It's Penn State football we're talking about...Clearly they are willing to cover things up...But why are they willing to cover up such an awful thing?

Then I read what Radio host Mark Madden WROTE 6 months ago...Which lead into what he said today...Then Madden let a rumor fly on a couple of radio shows Thursday...He said things are going to get worse before they get better...I would agree with that...Sandusky was out there free, doing as he wished to kids, for way too long...But Madden's rumor was even more shocking...

"I hear there's a rumor that there will be a more shocking development from the Second Mile Foundation -- and hold on to your stomachs, boys, this is gross, I will use the only language I can -- that Jerry Sandusky and Second Mile were pimping out young boys to rich donors. That was being investigated by two prominent columnists even as I speak."

Madden also thinks that, "The other thing I think that may eventually become uncovered, and I talked about this in my original article back in April, is that I think they'll find out that Jerry Sandusky was told that he had to retire in exchange for a cover-up."

Considering the whole Sandusky/child molestation story started as rumor, Madden doesn't sound too far off...

But even if he is wrong...And even if the missing DA thing is an odd coincidence, there was still a major cover up at Penn State...People in charge knew Sandusky was a creep...They had an eyewitness account of him raping a 10 year old boy in the showers...All they did was tell him 'no more kids here.' He still had access to the facilities...He still roamed freely...Preying on young boys, and ruining their lives...Whatever these bastards were hiding, besides Sandusky being an evil piece of shit, it will be discovered...This mess is far from over...

And to the students of Penn State...I can respect loyalty to your school...I understand that Joe Paterno is an Icon there...But he screwed up, and screwed up big time...He was looked at as the moral compass of not only Penn State, but College Football...So I understand that it hurts to find out, that he really isn't those things...But semi-rioting isn't the answer...Ignoring the fact that children were abused, because your football coach got fired, is disgusting...And blaming the media for what has happened is retarded...

Blame Sandusky...Blame your leaders who let it happen...Who concealed it...And who have now disgraced your Alma Mater...

As for Penn State's Football Program...Hell all athletics...The whole department should be shut down...Rip it down, and start over...The only way to get any credibility back is to clean house...Remove ties from the past and start all over...

If the NCAA had any guts, they'd shut it down...But I doubt they will...

Later, The Beeze.
