I don't know why people are surprised here. We bitch all the time PSU didn't stand up. Yeah, yeah, we were wronged. However, it sure as hell didn't work taking the blame. The BOT made sure of that. Dumbasses didn't even vett survivors, some of which were definitely lying.
I mean, don't you think they're doing this due to their lawyers? Not necessarily about right and wrong for them, more like CYA as much as possible. Once politicians get involved, like a certain Governor, "don't forget that little boy in the shower," it's easy to jump on board. They do what the outrage demands of them.
Bottom line, there's no reason to burn down a school due to a few bad apples. That's stupid mob mentality. Of course that's exactly what happened to us. Is this a bad situation, hell yes, it's a tragedy. So go get the bad guys and gals, and punish them. Make corrections to the system and move forward. Outrage does nothing but kill solutions. Look at our situation. All the bullshit outrage, and name one positive step PA did to stop anything? Not a damn thing. That's called a failure. So in the end, PSU paid out it's ass for no reason, they weren't responsible, the NCAA got on it's high horse, the BOT covered their ass, The Second Mile and all their leadership walked away, we got new politicians, and all were a bad copy of the previous ones, lawyers made millions, Pulitzer Prize awarded, media went crazy, made shit up, were lazy, legal agencies a total fail, so please tell me just what was fixed, and who was held responsible? Oh yeah, and WTF are they making a movie called Paterno and not SANDUSKY? That's what burning everything down gets you.
