Serious Question: What if the Penn State Scandal Happened at Auburn?

Put whoever you want in whatever role but suppose the facts were the same. What would your reaction be to the scandal? The legal trial and verdicts? The NCAA hammer?

If there was an institutional cover up of child rape (in one instance, much less 14 years or so), then I'd say that the institution needed a top-to-bottom cleansing. Football be damned.

100% agreed.

The Penn State problem is big. Much bigger than I think most of us are grasping. This wasn't just an assistant coach molesting one boy. This was an assistant coach who became an ex-assistant coach using Penn State money and facilities to run a program for troubled young boys and use that program to locate and isolate vulnerable children to be raped.

Let that sink in.

Then realize that numerous people in positions of power at Penn State - including the head coach that is an icon for not just the university, but for the state, the conference, and the history of college football - helped cover up Sandusky's horrific crimes. Why did they cover it up? Because of football games, revenue, and reputation.

As long as I know all of those facts, I'd say nuke Auburn to hell.

I would have no issue with Au getting the death penalty if cover up of child rape occured. There are STILL people at Penn State defending the Coke Bottled ONE.

The Paterno family should shut the fuck up and not issue statements sounding like Joe Pa was a victim here.

And if it was turdville up the road. How many more MNCâ€™s would they claim?

And

The local press would say the boyâ€™s assaulted the old guy with their butts.

There's some really nice hussell in here that didn't go unnoticed.
