Sheep = Trustees

Trustees = Inmates

Inmates = Guys who are a part of the nothing

Guys who are part of the nothing = Sheep

This sounds like what happens when the twitter feeds starts the rumor mill. You know...where some sheep start talking about the friend they know that is close to the program....lol


Penn State was not an organization of mechanical parts back then, but was an organic whole, where the slightest pain in one limb was instantly communicated through the whole body. As a result, there were hundreds of checks and balances throughout the university system. Nobody could get away with much for very long because there were too many people watching. Everything was everybody else’s business because we were all in this together. Everyone kept one eye open for what was best for the University as a whole … and the other eye open for what was not.

So after further reading this guys Moral of the Story is that if they had been able to actually do something as Trustees....They would have been able to stop Sandusky and cover it up. LOL


Under the previous system of governance, when someone of the stature and integrity of Joe Paterno reported to the heads of Athletics and Police Services in 2002 that a former emeritus coach was engaged in sexual activities with boys in the showers, these people would have done everything in their power to make sure that the problem was taken care of — and then prayed that the president of the University would never hear of such a disgusting thing!
