Nope. The criminal behavior was/is reprehensible, all those who are criminally culpable should go to jail, all who are civilly culpable should pay out the ass, and those who could have stopped it but didn't, even if not legally culpable, should be set out on their ears...
But...it didn't have much to do with the football program. The football program didn't cheat, there were no recruiting violations, nothing like that. None of the kids in the program benefited from the criminal behavior.
I disagree. It has a lot to do with the football program, as well as the athletic program. McQueary went and told JoePa what he saw. JoePa went and told his AD. AD didn't do $hit and JoePa sat idle and didn't think to report it any further. Sounds like a typical case of the football coaching world... Always cover up for your boys and brush away any shady activity to keep your fraternity of coaches together. Joe Pa didn't want to throw his guy under the bus and the AD didn't want his program looking like trash, so they kindly ushered him out and never said anything or turned it over to the authorities.
The fact that multiple people knew about a man in their program who was raping a child and nothing was done is f'ing disgusting. If you have the slightest inkling of a child rapist in your camp (they had more than just a slight hint) you throw that f*cker out.
Best way to get Sandusky out of town is tie him up to an 18 wheeler and drag his sick @$$ down the road till he isn't breathing....
