Eli couldn't deliver Gore to Ole Miss

OK, it's an 11-year-old story.

What there saying is that Frank Gore could have been at Ole Miss, but this Manning wasn't elite enough for him.

Some kids prefer a cesspool to the quiet life of Oxford.

<hits the snooze button>

Title makes it sound like they're talking about Eli Roth making a horror movie.

Was it Eli, or was it the racist Rebel mascot dude?

Actually, it's among the top 5 party schools each year.

Hard for some to turn down those great parties thrown by the Alum complete with women and stuffed envelopes handed to you after every game.

Would you rather see the "JoePa" way?

And we should care because...?

So you do think the NCAA will penalize Penn State or fumble this mess and hand down no penalty and just pass it off and say the legal system will deal with it.

They cleaned house at Penn St. Not much more they can do. The students are crying on espn right now.

Absolutely not. Penn State will be made an example of what not to do to young boys. This is only gonna get worse as more victims come forth.

It's interesting that everything came out right after JoePa set the record, though.

What would be the proper phrase for this story? !) I could care less, or 2) I couldn't care less.

And you can bet the house that attorneys are lining up. I would guess that Penn State is going to want to settle any suits out of court as quickly as possible.

Not cleaning house would have been the same as saying that no one did anything wrong. Which we all know is incorrect. Everyone who knew about this failed in some way. I don't know the entire story, not sure any of us do, but Penn State as a college and the administrators failed in a huge way. Hate to see Jopa kicked to the curb, but it was coming.

The very same trustees that voted JoePa out are in the chain of command. Shouldn't any of them who were there at the time resign too?

good point, biggest question of all, You come upon a grown man raping a 10 yr old boy in the shower, do you walk away or take a second or two to decide how to kill him?

No matter what you do, it's going to "reflect poorly on the program." So, there is a built-in incentive towards covering things up to keep the story from getting out.

It would be great to live in a world where simply putting a stop to this kind of deviant behavior would gain universal praise. Instead, even doing the right thing has negative consequences. No wonder so much stuff gets swept under the rug.
