When will there be a thorough investigation about the goings on at Second Mile?
I have a feeling that Penn State was so willing to go along with the findings of the Freeh Report and the NCAA punishment, because there’s stuff a lot worse out there that wasn’t covered in it.
Yep.
The total acceptance of any and all penalties without so much as a whisper of appeal or challenge seems like a "make it go away ASAP before the really bad stuff comes out" gambit.
Even from the Paterno family.
I saw another article that said the NCAA was considering a 4-year ban on all football related activities. I think the choice Penn State had was accept Emmert’s sanctions or go the long drawn out route and try and stop the NCAA from giving them a four (or more) year ban.
I also saw another article that said coach O’Brien asked his bosses to take any punishment that allowed them to continue to play and continue to be on TV.
I think the current management at Penn State is going to do whatever it takes to put this behind them. I would like to see second mile investigated too and I am still waiting for Spanier’s “perp walk.’
