Sports have the ability to bring people together in tough times. Sports are a unifier, and even can heal wounds. These unique qualities were evident on Saturday November 12 in State College, PA when the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the Penn State Nittany Lions took the field in front of over 100,000 fans. Penn State lost the game but that was purely secondary. On that particular day the scandal that brought down a highly regarded defensive coordinator and a legendary head coach was in the forefront of everyone’s minds. The atmosphere at Beaver Stadium was somber, which was atypical compared to the rowdy place that Penn State fans knew. Joe Paterno did not roam the sidelines as he usually did. Instead, he was at home. The coach for more than forty years had become an icon of the University, but over all of the wins and championships, had preached winning with honor. After being disgraced, his once pristine reputation is now tarnished. The man responsible for all of this devastation is Jerry Sandusky.
