Ah, big-time athletics. The front porch of the university! Beeeeeeg money maker! Applications for admission go through the roof!
Eh bien. It’s hard to keep up. But let’s see:
The biggest problem Penn State’s president had before his school’s storied athletic program caught up with him involved his having flown a private plane to Harrisburg in order to tell the legislature that his school was really hurting financially.
So he was a little tone deaf! It’s not like he said in a 2001 email that
“it would be ‘humane’ to avoid alerting social services” to allegations against the now world-famous Jerry Sandusky – who, you may recall, until recently had a flavor of campus ice cream named after him…
Athletics has already brought Penn State so much. It may now make it the first American university to have a president brought to trial for failure to report a crime.

Paul Frampton gets one; Jerry Sandusky gets one. Everyone gets one. Bless the DSM.
Sandusky’s defense team also filed a motion to allow evidence that he has histrionic personality disorder…
