How sad. I'm so sorry for the good DUers and other good people in PA who believe protecting children is more important than a fucking football team.

1. At first I thought maybe they are mad at what JoePA did to their careers.
A PSU degree is gonna raise eyebrows from now on, whether they played football or not. Their football program is trash. Their academics will be harmed by association.

But then I heard they were chanting his (JoePA's) name. And chanting "f*ck the Media" and turning over news trucks. Not because children were raped in their very locker room enabled by their power monger coach, but because the media made their 84 year old has been coach retire early

I wonder what his severance package looks like.

2. I doubt it will harm their "academics"
There are usually speakers from Penn State when I go to astronomy conferences. Nobody's going to take them less seriously because Jerry Sandusky is a pedophile.

far more important than football.

Bottom line...anyone who is enabling a pedophile has got to go.

These children were the victims, not the football coaches.
