a piece of shit pedophile enabler who's legacy should begin with that little fact. The harm he did far out weighs any tiny good he may be credited with. Shame on the NCAA, shame on Penn State, mostly, shame on JOE PATERNO pedophile by proxy. Put that on his fuckin' statue.

So obvious that $$$$ is far more important than the safety of children.

Reminds me of a joke Bobby Knight used to make. "The NCAA is so mad at Ohio State that they put Western Kentucky on probation for 3 years."

when the major conferences pull out of the NCAA and set up their own jointly controlled governing body.

Expect to see players get some compensation and the plantation mentality of the NCAA set permanently aside when that happens. The NCAA needs the big conferences a hell of a lot more than they need the NCAA.

I am glad, though, that the kids.......the players.......who played and won all those games will once again be getting credit for their efforts.

a little more focused on his victims.

How do they benefit from the team not getting credit for the games that they legitimately won?

Those kids were victimized by Jerry Sandusky. Joe Paterno, at the very least, turned a blind eye, which is also unforgivable. But the team did nothing wrong and shouldn't be penalized for it. Maybe I'm dead wrong, but that's what I think.

Go team! (unless it's Satan Saban )

Highest percent (of those with more than 100 wins) is Urban Meyer of Ohio State at .845.

No way he hangs around long enough to catch JoePa.

but there is no way heck will get to 400, maybe 300 (unless her coaches into his mid 90's) :large

Urban Meyer!!

I just think of all those helpless, defenseless kids over all those years.

Little else needs to be said.

The cult of college football in Pa. will never admit he did wrong.

The statue will come back.

I know several PSUers. While they all agree that Sandusky belongs in prison, they see the true villan here as Louis Freeh.

Poppy's statement on Joe's death, well after his pedophile-enabling was know to the world:

I was deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Joe Paterno. He was an outstanding American who was respected not only on the field of play but in life generally — and he was, without a doubt, a true icon in the world of sports. I was proud that he was a friend of mine. Barbara and I send our condolences to his devoted wife Suzanne and to his wonderful family.

Why not bring back Shoeless Joe Jackson??

Sandusky is in jail and Paterno is dead.

T'sall.

Has the NCAA figured out how to un-rape all the boys Paterno let Sandusky screw?

Had Corbett been serious about the allegations back in 1998, they could have thrown Sandusky in jail and this whole thing would have been a blip instead of the huge mess it turned out to be. Paterno's family should be suing the living hell out of Corbett, and the Penn State board.

Penn State can go to hell!

*Include Tom Corbett (who failed to prosecute Sandusky) who was rightfully removed from office.

:middlefinger:

At least he didn't protect a pedophile.

The record is what it is, and the history of the man who set it is what it is. He died in disgrace, and you can't do anymore than that to him.

There was no cover-up. There is no evidence of a cover-up. After three years of investigation where is the evidence? crickets... there is none. There were no enablers at Penn State. If you have any evidence please present here.

considering he is dead.

The whole taking away wins nonsense is nonsense.
