    Tim donahy should have been the equivalent of the black sox scandal but David stern did a great pr job saying it was an isolated incident even though the Feds were involved.

        So now what?

        Do we need for Paterno to be arrested for me to be on the money?

        Bobby Bowden cheated. He didn't let little boys get railed on his watch.

              When they change the name of the school to penitentiary state university it will move to number one in regards to sports scandals.

                          I hope some of you guys never have kids. How would you feel if someone turned their head 10 years ago and cause of that ur son was raped and it could have been stoped if someone would have put a stop to it.

                            def sports related, if this doesnt take 9 years to come out, he does not have the most wins. this record deserves an asterisk as much as barry bonds' asterisk.

When you see someone blow a stop sign do you follow them and make a citizen's arrest? Should he have done more, yeah, but its not like 60 y/o Joe was in the shower fukking boys.
                                His actions after their inaction show where his focus was. He worried about his job, image, and the health of the Penn State football program more than the welfare of that boy, and any who were taken advantage of after that. He ended up losing all of the aforementioned ANYWAY.

                                I separate what he did from his start to about 2000 or so from his "coaching" by proxy over the last decade or so.

                                  here are some people not even know about or even remember

                                  The 2000 Spanish Paralympic Basketball Team
                                  The Spanish basketball team won gold in the intellectual disability tournament at the 2000 Paralympic Games. There was one problem: 10 of the team’s 12 players had no disability. “We were encouraged to pretend to be stupid,” said player Carlos Ribagorda. Their scam was discovered soon after the Games and they were forced to return their medals.

                                  Danny Almonte was the star of the 2001 Little League World Series, pitching a perfect game, no-hitter and one-hit shutout in three starts for his Bronx, N.Y., team. He became a national celebrity and received a key to the city from New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani. However, there were questions surrounding his age, and on Aug. 30, a week after he pitched his final game, Sports Illustrated revealed that he was two years older than he claimed to be.

                                  Rosie Ruiz
                                  In 1980, unheralded runner Rosie Ruiz crossed the finish line of the Boston Marathon before any other woman, winning with a women’s record time of two hours, 31 minutes. Ruiz did not appear sweaty or fatigued, and nobody had seen her running early in the race.

                                  According to varying witness accounts, Ruiz had taken the subway toward the finish line and entered the race with a half-mile left. Though she steadfastly denied cheating, she was disqualified and the victory was awarded to second-place finisher Jacqueline Gareau.
