Alleged victims of former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky are working with at least two legal teams to prepare civil lawsuits against the university—seeking damages from the university over administrators’ failure to take action.
“This may be the most high-profile sexual abuse case ever,” says Benjamin Andreozzi, a Harrisburg, Pa., lawyer who is representing at least one of the victims listed in grand jury filings. Adreozzi noted that once other potential victims see that they’re “not alone,” perhaps they’ll come forward, too.

“I think things are going to be fast and furious over the next weeks,” one attorney said.

It is going to be interesting following this, although I find stench of evil sickening, to see how successfully the cover-up is put into place and how many mid-level pervs will be sacrificed to protect the high level pervs.

This is one reason Pedd State is pouring on the coals to keep as much of this covered up as possible. The potential here is that it could cost the university hundreds of millions in damages both real and punitive. It is a foregone conclusion that "The Second (s)Mile Foundation" is toast. They will be sued out of existence and no one is going to donate to a known pedophile front organization.

unfortunately because this is in the news, that's the first thing most people will think of when Penn State is your alma mater. however, this is not fair to alumni, professors, employees outside of the football program, current students, etc who had nothing whatsoever to do with this sin. this guilt by association is bullshit. and i have to disagree with you in regard to their playing football. a clean sweep of the perps is all that is warranted, imo.

we'll just have to disagree that a diploma from Penn state is tainted for all who have ever gotten one. sure this has brought shame to the university, but Penn State is first and foremost an academic institution. for example, what does what happened in the football program have to do with what happened in math class? your approach, imo, is to throw the baby out with the bath water. again, the University is much more than its football. even still, there's absolutely no reason that the athletes past and present shouldn't be proud of their personal achievements. a clean sweep of anyone who had anything to do with this situation is what's warranted, not a destruction of the entire school and community.
I agree with that completely. No reason and no justification to paint the innocent with the same broad brush as the guilty. I am sure many, many good and decent people have gone to school at Penn State who haven't molested anyone and there is no reason why the actions of one or a few should taint everyone who has ever gone there.

If I were a student at Penn State, or any other--of course I am a bit "long in the tooth" to be a college student--I would not be one of the ones out protesting some coach getting fired over what appears to be a coverup of some serious crimes against young people. If Paterno was told about that when it happened and then did not see to it that some action was taken then they were right to fire him and it should have happened years ago.
