[QUOTE="greybeard, post: 1193482, member: 18945"] Having followed college athletics for over 40 years, I know of no institution of higher learning, that has had (over that entire period) a higher public profile than Penn State. The thing is, with higher profiles, comes higher protectionism as well--everywhere in college athletics. It wasn't that people thought PS was squeaky clean--lots of people were aware of the dark goings on--they just chose to ignore them and/or sweep them under the rug. Look at Univ of Texas football--athletes and their handlers have been given a bye from news media, law enforcement and alumni for years--changing some now with new head coach Charlie Strong--he's kicked at last count 1/2 doz players completely off the roster that in year's past would have been given protection. Don't get me started on defending national champ (and very high profile) FSU. [/QUOTE]
