The Washington Post CRUSHES Penn State

[recruitsreadtheseboards]

Ya know, the paper that gave us Woodward and Bernstein, Watergate. I am guessing the Nits will suggest they are "jealous" and Sally Jenkins sleeps around.

Really well written article on PSU and President Eric Barron back to their old tricks, shoot the messenger. Final paragraph:

This is why Barron’s dodging, blame-shifting statement is so offensive. It suggests that something toxic is still hanging about in the air. It smacks of the same old persistent pattern of denial by Penn State officials, a deep and still unsolved institutional problem, the instinct to seek cover rather than full acknowledgment.

“It is extraordinarily disappointing that the president of the university would blame the messenger and not the enabler,” Kline said.

Maybe there was, and is, something wrong with the place.

Wow.great find. That was the reporter that Joe said he wished he had done more. Bwi probably has a thread about her looks, sexual orientation, or who she sleeps with

 

[big marty]

Everyone in America knows what a disgusting enviroment remains alive in State College PA.

 

[thebadby2]

What an absolute $hit show in State College.

Imagine how many insiders actually knew or had personal evidence to suspect that Sandusky was doing what he was doing over those 40 years. It must have been nearly every coach he worked with, tons of players, staff, admins, custodians, etc. etc. Many of them probably saw things so mind boggling and sickening they wondered whether they had actually seen them or imagined them. As a former college player, I can tell you we as players spent a lot of time away from football discussing (and imitating for laughs) the coaches, their weird quirks, odd behavior, etc. Imagine the conversations many former PSU players, especially the defensive guys, must have had over the years about Big Jerr. You KNOW a lot of them must have seen some very unsettling things. After all, D1 football players are around their teams and coaches 8 hours a day. Yet it went on for 40 friggin' years. And when Sandusky was finally exiled from university employment, he forms a charity for disadvantaged boys that was heavily supported by the very people that had actual knowledge of his history of child molestation. How F'd up is that?

The best thing that could happen would be a full blown civil trial of a victim against PSU with all the evidence on the table, a victim who had the balls to turn down the big money and the confidentiality it buys and just go for it. Then, and only then, would we finally quit hearing all of this "rumor, innuendo, hearsay and unsubstantiated allegations" B.S. from the Cult.

What a disgusting mess. And enough with this phony defiance coming from PSU and certain supporters., Just shut the F up already.

That place will NEVER recover from this disaster, and ironically King Joe, the man who built Penn State, is also the biggest reason it';s being torn down now. All he had to do was the right thing in the 70s, and the Cult could polish his statute with a straight face. Instead, his legacy is carnage of the sickest sort.

Great article. Very well written.

 

[Taft's Baby Hook]

He actually formed The Second Mile in 1977. So there's feasibly a chance they knew he was a pedophile...and then nobody batted an eye when he set up a charity to assist troubled young boys

 

[pittdan77]

The last four or five paragraphs make the point we all are making.

“Continuous or repeated exposure to harmful conditions,” he wrote, “is most often considered in the context of environmental contamination.”

 

[9nationalchampionships]

Sandusky said Paterno “allowed” him to start the 2nd Mile. As if the football coach has a say so in non football related matters…..oh wait

[yourhired]

As someone stated on BWI and I agree with them PSU should have never sued the insurance company in the first place. They went further saying your dealing with insurance lawyers not your typical lawyers they know how to dig and chew every morsel of the bone. Now they're really going to pay because these folks aren't worried about PSU.

Additionally, has given Franklin a great excuse of saying why he feels the Paterno Legacy has made his Third Year his First Year?

ARTICLE:
FIGHT PAST PATERNO:
Solomon: The complicated future of Penn State is in the hands of coach James Franklin but still largely tied to the past and the legacy of Joe Paterno.

Excerpt:
Allegations that one unnamed man described to CNN from 1971 were horrific, particularly his claim that Paterno and another Penn State official accused him of lying when the man said Sandusky raped him. “Stop this right now! We'll call the authorities,” the man said Paterno and another official told him. “I just wanted to get off the phone.”

Trauma that Sandusky's victims experienced and still live with daily cannot compare to a university or football program trying to rebuild. They're not even in the same equation.

Still, what's unmistakable is the division that remains at Penn State, as evidenced by what transpired in the past week and through interviews conducted for this story prior to the latest developments.

Five years isn't long enough to heal fresh wounds. Criminal trials and lawsuits are still pending, including one civil suit by Paterno's family aided by several university board members that seeks to exonerate the legendary coach.

“I think the biggest mistake the university made was to immediately distance itself from Joe Paterno,” said Anthony Lubrano, a Penn State board member involved in a lawsuit against the NCAA. “It so angered the Penn State community that, in the absence of coming to an agreement with the Paternos, this university will remain split.

"It has not healed, and it manifests itself at Beaver Stadium every Saturday when there aren't 107,000 people. There were a couple games it was probably 80,000 people. It's that an important issue to the Penn State community. Joe Paterno represented that much to the Penn State community that the fact they distanced themselves from him is just wrong.”

(Lubrano described one new allegation that Paterno knew in 1976 that Sandusky molested boys as "uncorroborated and baseless," and he called on Penn State to release the "full context" of the claim. The victim's deposition was sealed by a judge.)

History is still writing the final chapters of who knew what and when about Sandusky, even though we'll likely never know everything and most people's opinions are firmly entrenched. It's hard not to wonder if Penn State will need several decades before truly becoming united again.

The fight for Paterno's legacy
Even as Penn State tries to move forward, the past won't go away. Former Penn State president Graham Spanier, former vice president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley await trials for their alleged role in covering up Sandusky's crimes.

Citing a university audit, the Associated Press reported in November that Penn State has so far paid out nearly $93 million in settlements to 32 claims of sexual abuse by Sandusky. That's about $8 million more than the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Boston paid to settle about 550 lawsuits by people who said they were sexually abused by priests.

A court case over who must pay some of those settlements -- Penn State or its insurance company -- brought to light one of the latest Paterno allegations. In a court order, the judge referenced a man's claim that he told Paterno in 1976 that Sandusky abused him. The man's deposition is under seal. The judge rejected Penn State's argument that its insurer should cover nearly all of the settlement payments, meaning the university may not be able to recover millions of dollars it already paid out.

Initially, Penn State put out a statement last week that said the university doesn't “speculate publicly or hypothesize about individual allegations. These are sensitive matters, and we want to be respectful of the rights of all individuals involved. It would be inappropriate to do otherwise.”

Then Barron, Penn State's president, cast doubts about the latest allegations in a letter Sunday to the university community. Barron said Penn State cannot find evidence that an alleged “early assault” was communicated to Paterno, noting “this raises considerable credibility issues as to this press report.”

...........AND MOST IMPORTANT...........

EXCERPT:
However, a Penn State spokesman confirmed to the Associated Press that the earliest year of alleged abuse covered in Penn State's settlements is 1971. That's the first confirmation of how far back the Sandusky abuse claims go -- 40 years before his arrest. Penn State has not explained what steps it took to verify allegations during the settlement process.

The Paterno family continues to fight for Joe Paterno's legacy. Sue Paterno said in a statement the family has no knowledge of new claims related to her husband. She called for an end to what she described as “this endless process of character assassination by accusation.”

ARTICLE LINK EXCERPT:
According to the university’s audit report from 2015, there are 32 claims that have been paid out to the total tune of $92.8 million. Of that, $33.2 million was reported paid during the active period of that audit.
Additional claims could be paid in the future but without having knowledge of the number and nature of such claims the university is unable to predict the outcome of these matters or the ultimate legal and financial liability and at this time cannot reasonably estimate the possible loss or range of loss,” read that audit.

No lawsuits from alleged victims are pending, according to the university.

But why use the word “alleged”? The retired defensive coordinator was convicted of 45 counts of child sex abuse crimes in 2012, right?
............
However, Glazer’s order points to many more people and claims that include 1976, 1987, 1988, 1998 and 2001.

The order comes from the case filed by Penn State against PMA, its liability insurer, in February 2012, months before Sandusky’s conviction, after the Blue Bell-based company said it didn’t want to pay civil claims. PMA filed its own case in January 2012 in Philadelphia, asking the court to free it from paying for costs in a John Doe suit.

It's always amusing to read the comments beneath the article. The references to "Lance Armstrong" are so typical of the behavior of guilty parties: introduce straw man arguments, muddy the water, shift the blame.

This is the problem for Penn State University and Penn State Fans that want to move on and just accept something terrible happen to children at Penn State by a Penn State Coach, Graduate and Penn State did verify allegations and then paid a settlement too so more or much details by those children on what happen would not come out?

Yet, if Duane was right all the Children had to be lying and he can't accept that Penn State university put in Reforms in 2012 to insure it won't happen again?

Once Penn State University sued their Insurers and say you pay for crimes and injuries that happen at Penn State , they counter well, we knew and put in a clause we won't cover Child Molestation and if you want to go there then we want details unsealed, that Penn State knew way back in 1971???? It shows why as Insurers we put in such clauses?

When you google "Duane A Webb," one of the pictures in the images displayed for
"Duane A Webb" is a picture of JARED FOGLE.

The reason why that image is displayed is that Duane defends Jared. In fact, Duane has
remarks in the comments section of a number of web articles about rapes in which he
defends the rapist or alleged rapist and typically disparages the victim.

Given my sometime attendance in Psych 101, I can diagnosis Duane A Webb's

I read those too. They are cockroaches, even lower. They need to be stepped on.

They really are. From the beginning, they lost sight of who the victims truly are/were in this ordeal - the kids that Sandusky violated. NOT PSU fans, players, or Paterno!

While many were sickened by Sandusky, their wish was for him to go to jail, Joe to be cleared, and then get back to the business of football. THAT is the issue. It is and always was about football to them. "Let's get back to normal as soon as possible." Which, to them, was play football and have white outs. "Since the kids are now adults and were paid, they should be good now."

It's almost like this was just a pain in the butt thing they (the fans) had to deal with for a little while and then it would be in the rear view mirror; like a dance recital. "We can deal with this, as it will be over soon and no one will remember what songs your daughter danced to." They still don't consider how messed up the kids that were raped could be now.

"I have criticized your past articles in both comment sections and personal emails to you. But I must rescind them all after this article that is beyond a smoking gun of criminal activities by PSU, Paterno & Sandusky since 1971. I know Judge Gary Glazer personally. He is a fine jurist. He is not lying in his decision. It is firmly based in depositions and facts. It is only horrible that this scandal is resurrected continually by cultist enthusiasm, insanity and revelation of facts long hid by people involved in this travesty. PSU will not heal nor grow strong again, until a mea culpa is made to the world, and the petty little games, and statistics are 409'd away for good."

Not only will PSU not deliver a mea culpa. They don't even demonstrate any remorse. Not one bit.

If you ever listen to Sandy Hook or Columbine Mass Shooter's, Oklahoma City Bomber Timothy James McVeigh Parents or Unibomber Family they are all sad and live their own nightmares of what went wrong with those they loved that made many victims of their sons or brother.

All I can say, we have many Great PSU Posters that are devoted PSU Fans for PSU Football, and recognize something went terribly wrong at Penn State, Penn State did pass Reforms and tried to fix and stood up to be accountable and responsible.

No one wishes these kind of pain and torment on anyone and that includes PSU Fans and even the Paterno's and many Alumni. They have their own great memories and can't explain all away the nightmares either and many like all of us do not know all that happen there and how and why and many just do not want to discuss it.

I prefer discussing Football but some PSU Fans can't move on until they get answers and maybe will never listen to answers they can't handle in anyway anyhow.

Even players that were coached under Sandusky have told me they saw nothing to indicate his hidden demons and they just shake their heads.

I can separate Paterno's coaching from his other aspects that drove his competitive spirit to the point during the days when few to none would want to discuss such things as Domestic Spousal Abuse, Children Molestation, and even Drugs and Alcohol abuses kept silent within families, communities and churches.

Others can differ but others can't forget either and that is the true tragedy and it like watching one of those SPCA Animal Abuse Commercials, one just wants to look away, but this involved children and and you just don't want to remember or discuss the details.

Everytime that a PSU Fan took great joy in watching their Players and Teams win games, with PSU Coaching, there is now a void within them, and they cannot accept the past anymore and just want to move on to a better future.

I was told by a PSU Faculty Fans it is like all my great memories are just worthless now, and all I believed that PSU won the right way ended up worse than knowing now it was not the case, they accept the Reforms to correct and prevent future cover ups.

Some PSU Fans like Duane think otherwise and just want to put it out their minds so they defend the past not knowing it offers no worthy future.

Exactly. No remorse. They act like it was an inconvenience THEY (the fans) had to deal with.

I said since 2011, that I only want PITT to ever play PSU in Football in the future if they build a statue of Sara Ganim and place it where the prior statue of 'Mr. See No Evil, Hear No Evil, Speak No Evil' used to be located. She is a better representative of that university than the 'Glorified Gym Teacher'. Why are Universities building statues of of Sports Coaches anyways? At least back in the 1970s, with the stadium being smaller, it was easier to clean as a punishment.

Apparently, 'Not wanting to interfere with anyone's weekend' back in 2001 turned out to be 'not wanting to interfere with anyone's 1,560 previous weekends'.

Not saying that Rat Face was part of the Cover Up, but when it came time for the Most Powerful Person in Crappy Valley to do the Most, He Chose to do the Least-Epic Moral Failure. But he did tell his 'Puppet AD', so guess that counts for something.

And to all the CULT Members more concerned with restoring the legacy of their Glorified Gym Teacher(which will NEVER happen outside the Dome), just remember that he was fired for 'Lack of Leadership'. If you do not understand what Man-Boy Rape is, then you should not be working in any position of Leadership at a University or even a Junior College. This 'moral' man never even bothered to followup and ask if anyone had tried to find the boy, who McQueary told him about that he saw in the shower room with Sandusky. Wonder what that 'moral' man would have done, if it was one of his grandkids that McQueary told him he saw in the shower room being sexually assaulted by Uncle Jerry.

Very good post, and sorry I did not see that suggestion before I posted my own view that Sara Ganim deserves the recognition, for being brave enough in exposing how her own Alma Mater cared more about Football than saving, protecting, and preventing Children from abuse.

Even worse, when Sara Ganim she wrote the truth and won National Journalistic Awards, she was vilified, attacked, and criminally harassed by Penn Staters instead of being praised and thankful for helping clean up the Penn State Football Program.

If Penn State University wants to really gain recognition for the Penn State Scandal 2012 Reforms. They should invite all the Writers like Jenkins, Bernstein, Wetzel and many others that were attacked by Emails, Phone and Twitter by the PSU Cultists and honor the Writers.

In this way, those Writers can be welcomed and write about the changes at Penn State all by showing how they are not afraid to accept responsibility of what went wrong, got rid of people that were not accountable and how no coaches, players, athletes, professors, and employees will ever above Institutional Control.

They should the do the same for the Victims, Victim's families, and Victim's Lawyers too!

This is what they should do at Penn State to begin the healing to move on and start to change their image, and not demanding the Paterno Statue or Paterno Era back on Campus!

As a way for a settlement give the Paterno access and loans on Penn State Football and let the Paterno Family & Friends & Players set up the Paterno Statue in the Private Paterno Museum in State College. This way Paterno is still honored by those that want to honor him, and Penn State avoids the issues of doing it.

Penn State can respond with confidence and pride, we choose to honor the Victims, Families, Writers , Prosecutors, Investigators, NCAA Monitor, and Media that exposed that Scandal and led to the Reforms to protect Children for the future and not any sport first and foremost.

Joe Pa Thetic, Thanks, that coming from you means it is the right thing to do. You have been a fervent supporter of the Children Victims of Penn State's Sandusky and the Penn State Football Scandal caused injuries and nightmares in the disadvantaged chose to be preyed upon by a convicted felon while ignored by those that could have stopped it, instead of being praised for finally standing up and be brave to talk about what happen to them.

I mean this complete honesty and sincerity from reading your post here on this subject and I say so without reservation. Kudos Joe!!!

For that, I apologize for my shallowness - but - in keeping in the spirit of this thread, it appears there are some at PSU who have been successful in getting Ganim's name removed from a website dedicated to celebrating successful graduates from their College of Communications (hint: she won a Pulitzer). Their shamelessness knows no bounds.

(The greatest was the post that said her Pulitzer will be revoked.)
