Yes, I think we all expect adults who knew about something of this magnitude to be human enough to report it because that's what good people do. But msnf is right. This is an organization that has a lot riding on it in terms of money. The games, enrollment, endowments etc. If our current political climate has taught me nothing, it at least shows us that in this country, most people with money, power and status will do whatever they have to do to protect their money/power/status first and people second. Call that pessimistic (and I'm an idealist) but it's true. There's no way they were going to expose this kind of thing within their own community and risk losing all of this, at least not without a good game plan on how to deal with the backlash first. Look at Tressel, a man that I respected and am very disappointed in. He didn't report their NCAA violations for the same reasons (money) and all those dumb fucks did was get free tattoos and sell their shit. This school was helping to cover up child molestation and rape for god's sake. I definitely wouldn't expect them to roll over and tell the entire country what's going on inside their own program. Is it what they should have done? You're damn right. Am I surprised they didn't? Not one bit.
