rams80 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/PennStateNCAALetter.pdfNCAA getting ready to smack Penn State with lack of institutional control.It's too bad they and second mile weren't immediately put on freeze. God knows how many crucial documents have been destroyed by either group in the drawn out time since this was broken open.Joe Paterno's son reported today that his dad's got a treatable form of lung cancer.*shrug*Ummmm....Penn State being a state institution can't destroy nowadays unless it fits within their established records retention/disposal protocol. I know you're building up all the RAEG here, but at some point the conspiracy is going to stop.As for the NCAA getting involved, this is dumb. All of the people involved are getting fired (or will be fired shortly) so there really is no point in punishing the school right now, and anyway this goes way beyond the NCAA's paygrade...especially since the NCAA lacks any and all forms of subpoena power and really really shouldn't have jurisdiction over the ongoings of university Presidents.And this in turn ignores that we really do not ing want to establish a precedent where the NCAA punishes member institutions for criminal escapades. Unless everyone wants probation for drinking violations. The NCAA is a simple competitive organization that establishes rules by which it members compete in sporting events. Unless you're going to propose that Sandusky diddling 10 year olds provided some competitive advantage to Penn State not protected by the rules, the NCAA has no quarrel here.

It's one thing to be involved in a ring circled around child molesting, but I'll be damned if we don't do this by the books."I don't know how it works for colleges, but for financial companies that are regulated by federal guidelines, records retention is serious business. You'd be amazed if you knew how much money was spend in software and hardware to comply with retention guidelines. If colleges are bound by any type of regulation, then they are likely audited by independent agencies and possibly the government as well. At least in the financial segment, I know about this all too well.

CS85 Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I don't doubt the seriousness of the regulations, but if this was bad, and I mean really, really disgusting bad on a grand level, many a hard drive has been wiped sparkly clean the last few weeks.

It ain't all on local hard drives... even if it looks to everyone like it is...

DG_ThenNowForever Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 What the hell is with grown men and little boys? Just...don't understand where that comes from. It's because male pedophiles can't as easily gain access to groups of girls more than a specific desire for boys. Before anybody goes there again, this isn't a gay thing. It's a child-molesting thing.And it's also not unique. It's a Wikipedia link, but men having sex with children -- male or female -- happens way more often you might think. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because something is indeed "above their pay grade" doesn't mean they can't have any say in things. I think this is a fairly perfunctory matter. Just like how a league would suspend a player who is about to serve a prison sentence, even though there are bigger things at work. I don't think they're overstepping their boundaries to, similarly, pop in and say "oh and yeah it goes without saying, death penalty." ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pmoehrin Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 I used to think it was a crazy idea for Penn State football to take a year off, but the more this story comes out, I don't think its as crazy of an idea as it once was. Its going to be years before the enviornment around Penn State football ever goes back to being normal and to try and operate a program with that cloud hanging over the stadium and still fresh in people's mind I think is going to be all but impossible.If I'm Penn State I just take one season off. Anyone on the current roster should be allowed to transfer without having to sit out a year. Get rid of whoever it is you need to get rid of which I'd say might very well be everyone in that orginzation ranked above ball boy, and just hire someone who can bring in stability. Don't even worry about wins and losses right now. Try to talk somone like Howard Schnellenberger or Lou Holtz out of retirement if you have to even if they can only give you a year or two. Hire from your alumni and bring in someone like Franco Harris or Jack Ham even. That's the kinda of guy your going to need. You need to have that transition guy in there and it has to be somebody people know and who people can trust. If that means 2-4 wins at best then so be it. Your focus right now cannot be solely on winning football games.Its going to suck in the short term but I think 5-10 years down the road its going to pay off much more then if Penn State tries to come back next year like nothing happened. They have to take a hard stance on this issue and show they are serious about gaining the trust of people over winning football games, otherwise they're not going to be able to do either.

And I don't think your office in this case have such an undying loyalty to Paterno that they will ignore them. Seriously, if the subpoena comes for documents that are supposed to be there and they aren't there, a lot of people up and down the line are going to be in serious trouble./Listen to the trained archivist.
