Here, at the law firm, reaction has been supportive of me. Everyone here has at least someone in their family that went to PSU. So, everyone is just basically heartbroken over what happened. People have been very sympathetic (thankfully I work with educated/well read individuals).

The NCAA was going to sanction PSU. The sanctions are terrible but, at least this way, PSU avoided the death sentence. The death sentence to the football team would have crippled the economy in Happy Valley and all business relying on PSU football. I do not understand the vacating of wins or the $60 million fine. There are talks that the lawsuits against the university could reach $100 million. That is $160 million that the university is going to pay out because of this sex abuse scandal.

Because of this, I will not be donating any money to PSU until it is clear that this money will not be used to pay for these crimes.

I am really embarrassed about my degree now. The name of the school is forever tainted. I have boxed up my PSU gear and will not be wearing it. I just don't want to get the dirty looks that would be coming along with that.

I want the Paterno family to shut the fuck up. I am sick of them stating that we don't know all the facts, etc. Ok, fine. We do not have all the facts but the Paterno family has not provided any additional information that would show Paterno in a positive light. The family name, once something they could all be proud of and something that would open doors for them, is now disgraced and something that will be held against them.

The motherfuckers in charge ruined the school. This is the third time that this has happened to me - Catholic Church sex abuse scandal, Villanova LSAT reporting scandal, and now PSU. I am really tired of this happening but there is nothing left that can be taken from me.
