The institutional hatred that is likely to develop around ANYTHING having to do with PSU should not be underestimated, especially if the institutional coverup is systemic as the media is hinting at. Sandusky's charity used as a prostitution ring and lots of PSU officials knew this, for example. I am not saying this is true and that the football players are at all at fault because they are not. But the crimes are so disgusting, so beyond the pale that people would have to make a special effort to remind themselves that the whole school is not to blame for the actions of a few. The public's reaction is quite healthy and although our culture is going down the drain there are some things that are wrong and are always wrong.
Managers in a position to hire completely innocent PSU grads might think twice just because of how soiled the name is becoming. Do not be surprised if this happens.

I'm rooting for a team of hard working blameless players trying to accomplish their goals. You're rooting against an institution that failed in its humanity.
As long as the players are allowed to play, I'm supporting their efforts. Once the game ends I can go back to my feelings of disgust for the "guilty"',
I fully realize that most analogies pale with this outragous crime, but rooting against these PSU players is vaguely akin to shunning the Enron workforce for the criminal acts of their management team.
