Going
into the summer of 2012 the Penn State Nittany Lions had high hopes on
next season they began practicing for the upcoming season. They were
ranked, and known for being an elite team and was presented to America
as an old fashion team that does everything the right way. An out of
nowhere on one November day “the
abuse scandal touched off by Sandusky’s Nov. 5 arrest rocked Penn
State, bringing down famed coach Joe Paterno and the university’s
president and leading the NCAA to levy unprecedented sanctions against
the university’s football program.”
So
this brings me to the question of have you ever sit and thought if your
child away at school was actually safe? It is really a good question
because if your child is just a regular student you are paying thousands
of dollars for your child to go to basically a random place that you
don’t
Know much about. In Penn state's case it was different. They had a coach that was violating his players for about a “(15 year) period.”
This is a scandal that puzzles most because how could you coach under
one of college football's greatest coaches Joe Paterno for 40 year which
and some claim that Joe Paterno didn’t know. They were most then just
on a coaching staff they were actually friends so i’m sure that he knew
about the sexually abuse that was taking place between Sandusky and his
players. So ask yourself if Sandusky was a sexually predator what is Joe
Paterno since he knew about the molestation.
This
scandal has cause all type of controversy over America because Penn
State is not a place where something like this would usually happen
because it is a classic type school that is based off football and
academics also known for having a great coaching staff and a dependable
experiences coach. This rocked the fans of Penn State when they found
out that their assistant coach had been molesting his players for some
of 15 years. Then you had some that were such true fans that they didn't
believe it. However Jerry Sandusky was charged with 52 criminal counts
of sexually abuse on 10 players in 15 years. This cause Jerry Sandusky
to get fired and possible played a part in Joe Paterno death. By
Paterno’s passing it made this controversy even worst because some
blamed the death of Paterno on Sandusky which made the weight of every
worst on Sandusky.
As
of now Jerry Sandusky is awaiting his sentencing on his trail which is
Oct. 9th. From all the media and reading stories on the web most say he
will spend the rest of his life in jail. He is currently 68 years of
age, and the least amount of years he is said to get his about 40!! You
never know because anything could happen in the courtroom only way to
know what’s going to happen is to wait until Oct. 9th.
