Plane banner over Penn State: ‘Take the statue down or we will’

Attention, Penn State’s Board of Trustees: look up in the sky. There’s a message for you.

The university’s board still stands undecided on what to do with the statue of former coach Joe Paterno outside Beaver Stadium despite ongoing public outcry to bring it down in the wake of the Freeh report.

Now, there’s yet another obvious push in favor of what many already support.

A small plane displaying the banner “Take the statue down or we will” has been flying over Penn State Tuesday morning. Below is a picture of the banner.

It’s not immediately clear who “we” refers to. Likewise, who paid for the plane and banner is a mystery.

(Photo source: Patriot news; Joshua Guiher of collegiatestadiums.com was first to have the photo.)

They feel the urge to "refurbish" the showers where many of the crimes took place and nobody except program participants will most likely ever be. However, they don't have a problem leaving his enabler to stand where everyone, including the victims will be able to view his visage because they are worried about upsetting supporters.

And folks wonder why the football program itself needs to be shut down for the time being. :roll:

Brown has taken Paterno's name of their coaching award and are now discussing his removal from their hall of fame. Penn is gonna decide on the statue in the next 10 days ...

Penn St. Penn is a totally different school.

Wow! Good for the NCAA. They finally seemed to do something right.

Agreed.

I just wish it never HAD been placed ahead of all that to begin with.

Lesson learned at a huge price? Yeah.

$60M and take away their wins for the last 4 years seems a little out there to me..I could see cleaning house and starting over but punishing the players seems odd.

Players not punished. They still get to stay on their free ride and get an education. They still get to play football. They can also transfer IMMEDIATELY and play IMMEDIATELY. Yes, unlikely/impossible for THIS year at this late date. But, they still get to play football and get an education. What's the punishment? No Bowl swag? Really? That's what you're worried about?

I'm not a big fan of lawsuits, but if there was ever a deserving case... The victims and their families deserve restitution from Penn State University and should hold the Sandusky and Paterno estates liable for their negligence. The Institution and criminals that allows and knowingly masks criminal activity need to be punished in the places they hold most dear to them... their fucking pocketbooks and the money they so worship.
