Penn State Removes Statue of Joe Paterno

[pellaz]

article from the NYTimes; i guess the decision was based on the fact the legacy of Joe Paterno is starting to hurt the real people responsible

I can't believe that was a debate.
Heck, I'm ashamed that I live in a country where that was a debate.
He covered up for someone who molested many people and used his status to get away with it!
It's horrific beyond reason to think about.

penn state got so many fines too... and lost 112 wins from 1998 or 99 aswell.

they hit Penn State hard. the school was fined 60 million, they are banned from the post season for 4 years, and will lose 10 scholarships per year for the next 10 years. it will be a while before they ever make any progress with the team.
