And honestly I think you're overestimating what it would have done to the program. It may have hurt recruiting in the short term, but even that I'm not so sure about. I don't think fundraising would have been hurt that much. Again, this was something that nobody could have expected and I see the scorn falling on the perpetrator, not the whole program.

With the way it's turned now, I'd expect PSU is going to be in for some rough days. This is a program issue now. They made it one.
The trouble is these programs are so important to the schools so they have traditionally turned a blind eye to all kinds of unpleasentness, I have no doubt the amount of sexual assault allegations against top level college players that get buried must run into thousands.
