It's also worth noting, for anyone who might not know, that Penn State Athletics continued to pay the $60 million fine in support of child-abuse prevention, despite the "on-field" sanctions being rolled back.

Well that was mighty white of 'em.

I thought he was a one of the good guys. But after this discussion and his vehement defense of psu I'm not so sure. I mean, what true Rutgers fan would defend that school? Plus exaggerating facts to paint Rutgers in a bad light? Doesn't sound like a Rutgers fan to me.

You are late to the party, but congrats for getting there.

If that is true, it is very disappointing.
For me, in life and business, morals and principles matter. Many times, we have sacrificed extra money to stick to our core principles and avoid bringing questionable people into our office just to boost the bottom line. We value our integrity over profits. Yeah, the rest of the world does not work that way, but I sleep great at night.

Has PSU shown they had any morals or principles during this entire episode?

Doubtful.
For better or for worse, Rutgers does not screw around and sweep things under the carpet. Time and time again, when bad behavior is discovered, the offender is severely punished or fired.

And let's not forget that the local media glories in crucifying RU in all cases, even for issues which are not scandals (see their witch hunt against Bob Mulcahy over Schiano's salary and the stadium expansion).
