bad things happened, and the focus is on football, and the football coach...it's messed up. i can't believe people demonstrated to keep him. i'm amazed that his career will end this way, but it's his own fault. people didn't want it to be true about sandusky, so they ignored it. that didn't change the truth, it just hid it.

the college isn't a victim, nor are the coaches and other staff being fired-the victims in this are the kids.
the college is partially responsible because they obviously let the athletic dept become too big, and too self-controlled. the climate allowed this to be hidden, they are responsible for allowing that type of environment to flourish, where joe pa was king.
the a.d. and everyone else in that dept who knew but did nothing are also responsible. this shouldn't have lasted as long as it did, and the authorities should have been in on this from the get go.
it's a shame his career ended like this, but he's to blame. and he knows it. i'd imagine the repercussions of this will last for years.
