So he did a show to say he won't comment about the biggest news in the sport right now?? Now that's a nothing burger.

This is wrong. Very robust reporting requirements and frequent training and reminders for everyone at PSU. Strong leadership on these issues and strong whistleblower protections. Nobody posting here has any idea what was reported or what the investigations have revealed. Unfortunate cyber lynch mob.

Wow, I read a couple of pages of comments, then went back and read the article. I expected the article to be way more damning, especially of Cael. While a fan of Penn State, I was never a big fan of Starocci. He was always a bit too much, a la AJ. What is amazing is the level of Schadenfreude on this forum, including the Iowa/Bo Bassett divorce. I imagine Caveira to be a guy who sits at his computer, types a comment, then does a little dance around the basement, then back to keyboard to write another troll post about the Penn State situation. Let me know when he hits 100 posts on the subject. Another observation is all the comments about wrestlers and their proclamations of their faith. Lots of schadenfreude every time one of them has a failure. But, I never thought Straocci was one of those guys of faith. Like AJ, it would seem more like a facade, whereas Kirk was far more genuine and quiet about it. Cael isn't outspoken about it either, maybe because Mormonism isn't quite the same. So, Starocci was one of those guys. It's pretty common in high school and even in college. Cocky a-hole that does s*** that he thinks is funny or cool and people and teammates put up with, even pretend to like the stuff they do. I remember being a lowly sophomore running back on the varsity team and feeling this warm water hitting my leg in the big group shower area. It was the all-conference lineman peeing on my leg, laughing the whole time. That crap has been going on for a hundred years. (Ironically, we were friends later while on the wrestling team) At this point in time, he has been found guilty of nothing, charged with nothing. He is accused of something or things. As for Cael, it is easy to second guess his inaction, but I'm not really sure it's reasonable to expect him to have done much else. We will know more later.

Ah... but he previously commented by saying "nothingburger," so maybe now he is thinking "something burger?"

@mspartis only counting four.

Damn so not to bassett rudis shirts

Cheers...

Clearly they all happened. But I am of the opinion that the fifth one is irrelevant for deciding Mt. Rushmore status. And now I feel a little icky about the other four.

You must have read a different thread than I did.

I chuckled at Bill Bassett being appointed the new head coach. Bravo.

the govt is so big... no one knows what anyone else is doing

Basch has brought up PSU haters multiple times to categorize those who are complaining about his coverage. That was practically the extent of what he said. Last time this topic was brought up, he called it a nothingburger 2-3 times, now he is simply saying he won't comment on allegations.

The Carter can't stop typing, but Postal has been very very quiet.

90% are military contractors. Let's start there.

Looks like CS has been placed on the Safe Sport Interim Membership Suspension list.

Score 1 for me and the fellow watch guessers!

Willie confirms it was a watch that was stolen (He said he spoke to the reporter last night to get more details)

Carter Stardusky may be in some trouble boss.

How many fraudulent contractors do you think our inept government hasn’t detected over the years? Millions? It all adds up. Getting after this is what hard working Americans want to see.

There have ALWAYS been isolated cases of fraud. Always have. Always will. I never denied thst. These anecdotes are stupid.

Don't waste ur time talking science to these people. Its over their heads. Besides, they'll change the subject to how bad our policies are to deal w global warming.

As has been suggested, I think Rash is really close to the principals here. His initial response to the discussion about anonymity kinda tipped his hand. The article and the message board pointed out that the women involved might want to remain anonymous bc they feared retaliation. His first objection was that Carter already knew who could speak out, so anonymity an illusion. The assumption is that Carter would be the one to retaliate. what an egomaniacal thing to say. It's like Rash is so distracted by the potential blowback against CStar that he fails to see the all the other (institutional) dangers whistleblowers face. The "retaliation" wouldn't be from Cstar; it would come in the form of university and law enforcement officials "pursuing the facts," making this person's decisions (good and bad) public. Internet misogynists then follow suit with even less info. The fact that this didn't enter Rash's mind makes me think it's him or a close friend.

yes only going back 150 years makes it look menacing

I can’t wait for Rv to say this is no big deal and amounts to peanuts
