Exactly. I'm not sure what all this talk about banning PSU from the B1G and vilifying the University is about. There is a select group of scumbags responsible for this, not the University.

In 1999 Sandusky was given emeritus status from Penn State University. That entails more than just a few scumbags granting him that status.

Emeritus Status Process: The school dean or chair of an unaffiliated department (or other senior faculty member if the chair is
retiring) should write a letter to the Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs recommending that emeritus status be granted. A recent curriculum vita must be attached to the request. The Provost will
present the request and vita with his or her recommendation to the Committee on Academic Affairs of the Board of Trustees for approval.

Going through that equals more than 4 or just 5 scumbags. A lot of higher ups at PSU allowed this monster to stay on campus and continue his heinous actions towards children even after they knew of what he had done to other victims. I know I'm on the extreme side of things here, but I feel like extreme actions are required. Does Penn State football really deserve to reap the monetary rewards of being in the Big 10 after they tried to cover for this guy? After they allowed him to continue assaulting kids on campus by giving him emeritus status? **** no they don't. They deserve a major punishment.

The Big 10 needs to disassociate themselves from this trash.

Are you saying they all knew? I find that difficult to believe.

If they didn't know and voted to give him emeritus status, then they should be held accountable for their ignorance and not doing research into the person they are granting that status.

How are they supposed to do that? Each person is supposed to hire a private investigator for every person up for emeritus status?

They didn't need a private investigator. Sandusky had already been investigated by the police and had members of the police and Pennsylvania Department of Public welfare testify against Sandusky. That is information that would be available to EVERYONE who voted him into emeritus status. They royally ****ed up and more children were turned into victims on their campus because of it.
