the sports-driven universities. over the last 40 years, no other athletics program has played the morally superior card more than Penn State. insisting they are better human beings than you or I is their brand -- a retrospectively disgusting aura of hubris that fed into this delusional cover-up.

it's also hard to imagine a head coach earning a tenure as long as Paterno's anymore (which strengthened his power to the point he could keep a rapist free). win-at-all-costs universities care about winning-at-all-costs, not polishing their ivory tower and appeasing a has-been coach.
