Penn State Honors JoePa

it being the 70s is no excuse, in many states sodomy in all forms even between consenting adults was a criminal offense. There's no way it could be sliced to make it a legal bahavior against young children.

Sometimes doing the right thing means bucking society, sometimes it comes at a high personal cost to those who choose values over ease or outward appearance. Some people have even died taking a stand for what's right. Those are the heroes, the guy who chooses to let innocent children be victimized is not a hero, or a role model, or any to venerate, maybe he's not a villain either, but that doesn't matter, his behavior was inexcusable

Trump is here because the entire elite class has consistently not made a stand for what is right, let's not go overboard with complaints that this one guy did not go the extra mile for what is now considered to be right, and it would have been the extra mile because doing what the law requires is par. Victim Culture was not always the predominant instruction on matters such as this, we did not always assume that the complain is legit, and Paterno felt a strong pull of loyalty to the University and to his bosses. Now days it is "assume that the one who claims victim status is telling the truth, and screw everyone else and their loyalties"...But it was not always thus.

JoePa should have done more, he said so, but he was not by any stretch of the imagination evil. That was Sandusky, and the people who ran Second Mile.

What are you talking about? Penn State recruits highly ever year. Their 2016 class was 18th in the country and so far in 2017, it's 21st. In 2015 it was 14th and 24th in 2014. Penn State will never have a problem recruiting. Penn State got Miles Sanders which was the top rated RB in the country. He turned down Alabama, LSU, OSU and Michigan. Thinking about that.. You also don't recruit Micah Parsons and get a commit if are an also ran. Penn State will always have a recruiting name as it's Linebacker U. Paul Posluszny, Sean Lee, NaVorro Bowman,

Penn State owns recruiting in 3 states. PA, MD and NJ. That will NEVER change. Penn State also has a habit of turning 3 star recruits into NFL players.

Btw, in 1994 and 2005 Penn State got screwed out of National Championship games.

Unfortunately those states suck for recruiting and when a 5 star does emerge they are usually plucked by the SEC (UF has got several). PSU hasn't been LB U since the 90'

Meantime note NFL players by college see the common link among all those universities ahead of PSU?

Uh, the top 10 players from PA in recruiting for 2016 went to non-SEC schools. Penn State, Pitt, Temple, Michigan, USC, NC State, Florida State and Standford. In fact nobody in the top 50 of PA went to an SEC school. In MD top 50 recruits for 2016, Bama got 1 kid. Penn State got Shane Simmons, #1 recruit from MD. Bama tried to get him, so did half of the SEC, Big Ten and ACC.

So don't at like the SEC recruits heavily in the Northeast.. they don't and when they do, they typically don't get the guy.

Really? Look at the total tackle leaders in the NFL in 2015. 3 of the top 6 went to Penn State. NaVorro Bowman, Paul Posluszny and Sean Lee... can you guess their position? Linebacker.
