Just to play devil's advocate because I don't know what they will do one way or the other, but I think the message it sends is that: if you have 2 members of your football staff (at least) that knew about this for years, and basically still associated themselves with someone they knew was a child raping sex offender while not turning it into authorities it will not be tolerated. As a rational person I'd have a hard time believing that the WR coach and JoePa were the only two who knew about these things as well. You don't think there was probably a few people around the office that had heard about Jerry? and maybe not to let him around their kids? The administration at PSU will be canning the chancellor, the AD is already gone, I'd assume Joe Pa and his entire staff is gone and probably anyone else who they figure out had knowledge and was complicit in covering it up. It's very much a legal issue for those indicted, but even those that weren't indicted aren't going to keep their jobs because they were still complicit.I don't follow things nearly as closely as some/a lot of you do. From what little I've heard, JoePa learned of an indiscretion back in like 2002 and turned it into the powers that be. He's not being sought after criminally in any way. I don't believe any of his current staff is either. If this is correct, what kind of message would it really send by cancelling the game? Why punish the innocent? Those directly involved have stepped down and are not directly involved any longer. I see no reason to cancel the game.
At that point who is going to be leading this team? does the university want to go ahead and put themselves out there for 4 hour broadcasts of coachless players and a recounting of how the penn state athletic department was responsible for covering up the rape of a child and continuned association with the accused ex-coach for almost a decade?
