The Corroption of the Big 10

I say this with a little bit of Tongue in Cheek.

Ohio State cover up tatoo cover up, HC fired. Players asked to leave school in a round about way I believe or suspended. Now the Penn State cover up and this will get uglier before it is over.
Sorta makes the SWC days of the 80's look tame.
Sad

Big Ten is no better, no worse than other state university dominated conference. Plus, they do teach spelling.

Vote for Adam Still today. He's close and your vote could put him in the lead.

yes please include the "tattoo cover up" in the same sentence as the "dozens of young boys getting raped cover up". they are pretty similar when you think about it.

The Penn State problem isn't an athletic problem. It is a criminal problem within the institution's sports program. The Big X + II really can't be included in Penn State’s problems as I see it.

Had this happened in the, say, Spanish department at SMU, it would be news but not the media frenzy that would happen if it had been in the athletic department at SMU. The same would hold true at Penn State.

Geez, I am not comparing the two.

I think it is totally an athletic department problem. I can't believe that if it had happened in the Spanish department there would have been any sort of coverup.

i agree. the culture of (penn state) football is what allowed this insanity to go on.
