I fully expected to be writing today about last night's big match-up between Alabama and LSU. But the situation surrounding former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky is so disturbing that it is hard to talk about football.
I do not even know where to begin. I really do not feel like recounting the allegations here, but they are easy enough to find. And as we have witnessed with the sex scandals that plagued the Catholic Church, responsible people decided that it was more important to cover up this situation than follow the law. That it was more important to cover up this situation than to get Sandusky help. That it was more important to cover up this situation than PROTECT INNOCENT CHILDREN.
Once again the game of college football has been overshadowed by off-the-field problems. But this time instead of the talk consisting of recruiting violations or conference shake-ups, we are discussing brutal crimes against children and the inability of people entrusted with the lives of thousands of young people to protect them.
