Let's make that very clear, and not over complicate what happened. They were not raped by a football program, or a bunch of beurocrats, or State College, Pennsylvania. They were raped by Jerry Sandusky alone.

All those peripheral elements certainly failed them. But to say those rapes are the result of anything or anyone other than Sandusky himself not only improperly indicts people that were not ultimately responsible for what happened--but it simultaneously deflects the blame from where it actually belongs--Jerry Sandusky.

And don't tell me it doesn't. Your last post is a perfect illustration. It literally makes NO mention of Sandusky at all.
