I trust we will get 50+ pages of analysis on this topic as we've seen regarding a traffic accident.

This make me ill every time I read about Child abuse like this. Certainly innocent until proven guilty but if guilty I wish terrible things upon predators like this!
I have no understanding nor tolerance for anyone associated with this type of behavior.

When I first heard there was a scandal at Penn State, I just assumed it was recruiting / money related. Who could ever imagine something like this and also involving the current AD.
It was reported that when Joe Paterno was informed about this, he reported it to the AD and presumed it would be taken care of. Now it looks like he was reporting it to one of the perpetrators. Unbelievable.

Seriously?...Um... please refrain from making any type of backhanded immature link to a previous legal infraction......this is on a different level and is indefensible. analysis? Seriously?....Um....please understand I am very well aware of the differences between the two infractions. They are not even close to being in the same universe regarding the seriousness and the residual effects caused. And that, kind sir is my point. There were MULTIPLE threads started, two of them now locked, regarding a TRAFFIC ACCIDENT where yes, the driver left the scene. Obviously a very poor choice. What I don't get is why that CONTINUES to warrant so much attention from all the wannabe socially conscious posters who compare Lauren Cook to Lindsy Lohan and say she should be jailed, she"s totally out of control and should be jailed, yet a FAR more serious transgression merits nary a peep from all the holier-than-thous. Where are they now?? Would you like to explain that dynamic to this immature poster please? And for what it's worth, I read what you wrote on one of Lauren's several threads and I very much respect your comments regarding that issue.

Where are they now?? it's a volleyball board. go on a college football message board and you'll find plenty of talk about the sandusky scandal and nothing about lauren cook.

Maybe you're not aware, but there are different thread classifications on here, a few of which have zero to do with volleyball. 2. What do the threads about Lauren Cook and her legal issues have to do with the game of volleyball?

When I heard about this I felt really sad. If this is true about Sandusky then they need to lock him up and throw away the key. Looks like JoPa will be testifying against him and the AD for the prosecution. As for the AD, I think some prison time would be appropriate for him also in this case if proven true in court. If true, I have to think had he reported this incident were there kids he could have saved from this if he had acted when informed by JoePa.

Here we go again. Now if he were a priest, he just would have been moved to a coaching position at another university. I think they all should be jailed, including those who cover it up. (Oh, and make sure that their fellow inmates know why they are there.)

What do the threads about Lauren Cook and her legal issues have to do with the game of volleyball? 1. there are more than 10x the number of posts in the volleyball threads as there are in the non-volleyball threads. there are a lot of people who are quite active in the volleyball section but probably don't even post in the non-volleyball section. 2. lauren cook plays for her dad and they both are at one of the highest-profile volleyball programs in the nation, and the fact that she hit someone with a car and then drove away is the sole reason that she's not playing volleyball right now. so your question here is pretty silly.

The PSU Athletic Director, School President, and head football coach should all be fired. Today.
There is no comparison to the PSU scandal and the Lauren Cook accident. She's a 20-year old college student with driving-record issues who made a terrible decision after injuring people with her vehicle.
In Nebraska, we're talking about a young woman who waited 14 minutes before calling police after getting advice from her mother.
At PSU, we're talking about adults in positions of leadership and power who NEVER called the police after being made aware of a very serious crime.
This isn't apples (Nebraska) versus oranges (PSU). This is a raisin versus a convoy of tanker trucks loaded with sewage sludge.
I think we are all about to witness the unfolding of the single largest scandal in all of college athletics. This one is a real tragedy.

No, they shouldn't be. You can't just go around firing people who are accused of a crime. That's how you end up losing a lawsuit. They could probably suspend Curley and Schwarz, most likely with pay.
And enough with the hyperbole. From the grand jury findings, we have a former football coach likely committing a crime and an athletic director likely not doing his due diligence. Paterno and McQueary seem to have done what they were supposed to do, quickly report a possible crime to their superiors. This is barely an athletic scandal, certainly not in the way that the SMU situation was (where the head coach and AD were involved in direct payments to players.) this is a school administration not properly handling a situation involving a former employee of the school.
