Pennsylvania Should Leave Penn State/NCAA Sanctions Topic Closed


Penn State/NCAA Sanctions and politics

This really isn't political statement. Really, it's not. As such, no politicians' names will be used in this piece.

I believe that people from various political persuasions were involved in the cover-up of Jerry Sandusky's actions. (You will note - as in many of my past pieces on this topic - that Sandusky's name has been used. That's because he was the main problem.)

As a PSU alumni I thought that sanctions would be imposed by the NCAA and was not surprised (or angered) when they were. I fully support them.

While Sandusky was, is and will be the person who was solely responsible for the actions that he took, the manner in which many higher-ups (not just one well-known one) handled that matter had to be addressed and it was.

The idea of now suing the NCAA, even if there is sound legal footing to do so, just feels wrong. You know someone doesn't have to do something just because they can.

In the case of Penn State, everyone wants to "move on". A new regime and atmosphere (among the generally populace) exists in Happy Valley.

I believe that everyone involved will survive the next four years of sanctions and come out the other side better for it. If money is lost through football, so be it. (Bill O'Brien is the right leader to take the program through this period in time.)

Don't exhume the unseemly past purely to make, or win, some legal points.

Penn State's O'Brien Proves He's the Right Leader - Again


Headline Topic

O'Brien and Penn State: Earlier this week I wrote that hoped PSU football coach Bill O'Brien would remain with the program for at least a few more years.

Now that he has announced that he is staying at Penn State the choice to hire him last season looks even better. O'Brien (who is a namesake, but not a relative of mine) is the right leader. And leader is the most important word in today's post.

Penn State's Football Future & the Ongoing Sandusky-caused Problems

Over 1.1 Million hits since my first Yahoo story was published on 2/1/11. 
The power of the internet and of Social Media Friends made that happen.

Penn State

The hiring of Bill O'Brien (no relation to me) is the next step for Penn State's football program.

Regardless of whatever may happen in the courts during an indefinite future, O'Brien will lead a group of young men on the field into uncharted territory.

Who really knows what damage has been done to this University's reputation, or what consequences may be imposed upon their athletic program moving forward.

Sandusky

For me, no matter what anyone says, thinks, feels, or believes, I know that Jerry Sandusky is the person who was, is and will be the most responsible for this entire scandal.

I know that many people have allowed themselves to become overly distracted by all of the other players in this dark sports drama.

Life is messy and not all people are heroes.

Only the self-righteous have said what all of the people who were dragged into that mess should have done. They are wrong and should not be judging a situation that they have never been in.

The most important individuals in this matter were the children who were victimized and their families whose lives were/are affected.

Of lesser importance, were the secondary victims - meaning every other person who was forced to react to the situation....Mike McQueary, Joe Patero, and on and on and on and on.
