    Before the Freeh report, I'd say no. I think it has to come down now.

    Will be vandalized if it stays up anyway so might get taken down due to that.

    End date is 8/29?
    What's the fine print? Taken down anyway, anyhow.
    For instance if a bunch of drunk teen aged kids take it down, does that count as a win?

    T-wizzle might risk arrest just to take the statue down himself to earn his 50 points.

    Must be taken down in an official capacity.

    i didnt read the new report, but i have to think the no on this has huge value

    they'll say "his actions were regrettable, blah blah blah, we are not proud of that aspect blah blah blah, but it should take away from the years of great service and the community and the blah blah blah"

    It's on a 24-7 security watch, at some point it won't make fiscal sense to keep it up

    Then again, they might hope this passes, hoping for the news cycle to gobble it up and move on

    But my guess is it comes down...

    Leave it up and have it guarded until people come to their senses.

    Do I need to wait til 8/29 to get paid for this?

    Whos losing their job over this one? I'm guessing zero plays on yes?

    I say the trustees like Jo too much and it will stay

    Penn St does not care about those kids and the alumni do not care

    I would close the school down for good

    The "Cut off Date" means that this is the last day for the statue to be up or down? Like for example, if the statue gets taken down Sept. 1st, does "no" win the bet because it happened after August 29th?

    Thanks.

    wow +440 for no? ---that's "EZ Points". It's not taken down because he didn't commit the "assault (however you want to put it". People would riot if it got taken down. This is the easiest prop ever!

    It's coming down. There are rumors surfacing that if Penn State officials don't take it down... some group will plan on doing some dirty work to the statue... like chopping the head off etc.

    Talk about a line move! Wish I had seen this earlier. I think it's 50/50.

    Agreed. Anything can happen.

    It's a good prop.
