Acting Penn State AD releases statement on Sandusky verdict

It goes without saying the reaction to the Jerry Sandusky verdict has been swift and come from all corners of the country, including Penn State itself as well as the governor of the state of Pennsylvania.

The latest to offer up their reaction to Sandusky, who was found guilty Friday night on 45 counts related to the sexual abuse of nearly a dozen boys over the past decade and a half, is acting Nittany Lions athletic director Dave Joyner.

In his statement, Joyner expressed hope that the guilty verdict will grant some measure of peace to the victims as well as allow the university to begin the process of regaining the public’s trust.

“Our thoughts this week, and for the last eight months, have been with the victims of Jerry Sandusky’s abuse, whose courage has resulted in yesterday’s judgment. It is our responsibility to the victims and to every individual our University impacts to move forward under the highest mantle of integrity. The trust of our community has been broken, but Penn State Athletics will move forward to regain that trust, with student athletes serving as the role models we expect them to be, and coaches living by example.

“Our hope is that this verdict grants peace to the victims and their families and allows them to move forward in their recovery process.”

Joyner assumed his current position after then-AD Tim Curley was charged with perjury and failure to report in connection to the Sandusky case.

    This from a man (?) who was on the dysfunctional board of trustees and deeply integral to the corrupt politically incestuous governance and management structure of the institution. To me, one thing the trial brought out was that Joe Paterno was less culpable than the board made him out to be and the board and senior university leadership far more culpable than even perceived before. Suggestion for Dr. Joyner: resign and disappear!

    Penn State is going to have to cough up millions upon millions of dollars in damages–not counting any sanctions the NCAA puts on the school. The civil suits here are going to be astronomical. And justified.

    Hello.

    Penn State University will move forward to regain that trust – the public’s trust.

    Oh no.
    They will only “strive” to regain that trust.

    Remember your Godfather lessons:
    Tom Hagen: Mr. Corleone never asks a second favor once he’s refused the first, understood?

    The victims of Sandusky do not trust Penn State or its handpicked therapists. For good reason. The victims, for the most part, have rejected counsel and therapy offered by Penn State and the state of Pennsylvania, opting instead for counsel and therapy from licensed professional counselors and therapists and doctors who have no relationship with Penn State or the state of Pennsylvania.

    What Penn State owed to the victims of Sandusky, they have failed to give them…protection and to respond in any reasonable amount of time to the reports of their abuse. What Penn State did, in fact, was coverup the reports and abuse for years.

    Now for suits and legal action to proceed against those who did not act in accordance with the laws of the state of Pennsylvania. That may mean many within Penn State and some within Second Mile may be called to answer.

    Some have suggested that Joe Paterno would not have to answer since he is now deceased. However, a dear friend and poster here on CFT reminded me that his estate may be able to be attached to pay damages suffered by the victims. The legal proceedings are far from over. Expect new victims to come forth and it may even involve the adopted son of Paterno.

    The largest and most horrendous scandal in the history of college athletics continues.

    Pieces of Sh#t University. You’re all trash

    If justice is really done then Penn State must be given the death penalty for its football team for at least 3 years.

  7. Deb says: Jun 23, 2012 6:04 PM

    How can Penn State move forward while some of its corrupt officials are still in place? The first statement issued by the university urged victims to settle their cases in exchange for counseling. As alligatorsnapper said, how could they possibly trust therapists provided by an institution that was culpable in their abuse? And how does blackmail build trust? The university continues to be overseen by a Board of Trustees that was complicit in this scandal. Even after his initial arrest, Jerry Sandusky was reportedly invited to attend a basketball game as a guest in the president’s box.

    These statements urging everyone to move forward without requiring the university to answer for its involvement simply illustrate that those running the university still don’t get it.

    I love how you PSU homers keep giving thumb downs to reality posts…..

    I bet none of your kids were involved

    I hope the victims sue your school into a community college

    ————

    Sigh. Despite the horrible situation, the academic reputation of PSU is(or at least was) quite good. Gutting the school because of the misguided actions of a few who were in charge would not serve in the best interest of anyone. While this scandal will indeed linger on the minds of everyone for quite some time, it should also serve as a reminder that the primary purpose of a college is to educate and not to field a top football team.

    You have to remember that when college football, etc truly started the teams were clubs-really no different than intramural teams today who then branched out and started playing other colleges.

    Will justice be truly served for the victims if the history department is shut down? If the chemistry labs cannot buy beakers? If some 21 yr old junior student who was 9 when some of the events here took place gets a poor educational experience because of the actions of a few? While the victims here deserve compensation, we need to avoid the reactionary/emotional responses as it is quite hard to put a $ figure on justice despite what our society leads you to believe.

    Hello.

    My dad played football at Penn State.
    He graduated from Penn State.

    Still, maybe it’s time to wrap it all up.

    There are other places in the world to get educated.

    To all the “We Are Pedo State” people.

    I’ll know you’re serious when:
    You acknowledge Joe Pa’s culpability. He was Penn State, if he said this needs to addressed, Sandusky would’ve been investigated immediately. Instead he showed he was a coward by hiding behind the “I reported it” line of crap and for dying so he didn’t have to face the criticism. (Yes, people can die when they choose).

    And secondly, when you hold Gov. Tom Corbett accountable for some questionable acts during the way too long 3 yr investigation.

    Do those and you begin to reestablish some credibility.

    Yup. Depriving some kid of a decent education because of the acts of a few is justice?

    Hello Jimbo

    There comes time when it’s a good idea to move on
    Penn State University where kids play football and get harmed and injured in the showers and locker room, well it’s time has come. Shut it down. Find somewhere else to get educate. I say to myself find another religion, this Catholic church stuff has run it’s course. Education is nice and all, it’s just that Penn State University ought to move on the defunct college list. It would be so nice if the Catholic Church was defunct soon too. I grew up in the Catholic faith myself, by the way.

    Let’s deprive all boys and girls a stay at Penn State University.

    Still we ought to offer alternatives in Pennsylvinia.

    @bubbaone:

    There are thousands upon thousands of PSU students, faculty, and alum that feel all involved should have done more, including Joe Paterno (me being one of them)

    Your last post seems to have been a huge waste of time, IMO.

    I searched on Wikipedia for colleges in PA.
    Wow! What a list!
    So, I simply grabbed it and pasted it.
    Lots of places to go in PA for education.

    My point is, if Penn State University goes defunct, we will survive.

    I would be pleased to show
    that there are prices that will be paid
    I’m America and in Pennsylvania and at
    Institutions for SOAPY HORSEPLAY with
    young boys who look up to undeserving heroes

    Don’t worry about me.
    I am able to write these comments pretty fast
    with my left index finger on an iPad.
    I been motionless on my right side
    and laying in a healthcare bed
    since I had four major league strokes
    in September 2010.

    John:

    My heart goes out to you. My father as well as the physician of the family of posters here on CFT known as southernpatriots have suffered strokes. God bless you in your recovery. It is night unto a miracle at least that you remain with us after 4 major strokes and able to post and obviously type much better than I.

    I understood your previous posting of colleges in PA. I knew PA was a major player in education but never knew that many colleges and/or universities are there! I looked up my state of Louisiana and not nearly as many, but again more than I ever thought possible. Choices are definitely out there and many of the lesser known schools offer scholarships and grants.

    I know this is a most serious topic and situation, but your posting of all the colleges in PA brought a big smile to my face. Not only a thumbs up, but a huge thumbs up!!!!!!

    I am curious as to why no one is talking about the Death Penalty for the football program. Funny how cheating (smu) can get the penalty, but the raping of little boys is ok. From JoePa to the upper echelons of the administration at Penn St, people knew and were ok with Sandusky. Hence, the NCAA should not only get rid of the football program at Penn St, but also sanction the bejeezus out of the school.

    Hello Fido 1796

    Get rid of Penn State University football.

    I agree.
    Good idea.
    Well said.

    May save some tragic conduct
    in boys’ locker rooms and showers at schools,
    and home basements even if the wife says
    her husband always gets into bed first.

    “Soapy Horseplay” is not to be covered up, ever.

    Make a big deal out of it.
    Speak up, Mr. Coach Man,
    Mr. School Finance VP.

    Do right by the youngsters, every time.

    JOHN LONGENECKER
