The child molester had access to the school up to last week. I can't wait till they get buried in civil suits. Hope the school goes bankrupt.

I feel bad for all the current players and coaches that had absolutely nothing to do with any of this. There are going to be a lot of innocent people very negatively affected by all the legal crap about to come to down on that school. It's gonna be really, really ugly.

Does the school gain anything for firing Joe Pa rather than letting him step down? More from a legal viewpoint?

I personally would respect Penn St. more if they fired him.

Anything to be gained or respect? Well, I think that ship has sailed. But a good old firing would definitely help the Penn State community and the victims put an emphatic end to this horrible chapter in the school's history.

I'll add, the quicker the NCAA steps up and levy some heavy sanctions, given what they know, will help folks get a little closure for now. I'm sure they have to allow the investigation to run it's course before they can step in with a heavy hand, but by God they need to do something in the name of honor and integrity.

He wants to coach on Sat. I seriously can't stand Paterno. He should be fired today.

I proposed earlier that Penn State receive a 4 year ban similar to USC. If I recall correctly newer students at USC were given the option to transfer within the FBS without the normal eligibility consequences. I imagine if the banhammer does get laid down that Penn States players would have similar options.

The thing about that is no NCAA violations occurred so I don't see how any sanctions could occur against their football program.
