What happened at Penn Sate and with long time assistant coach Jerry Sandusky has been well documented.
No punishment that any governing body could muster would do the victims justice, at least not deep down.
What happened in Happy Valley is unlike anything that has ever swept the college athletic landscape.

The display in Troy Walzâs office contains Cavalry equipment from the late 1800âs all the way up to the 1940s.
Walz grew up on a ranch, and developed an interest in horses from a very early age.
âWhen I grew up a little, I got into reading about horses but then I saw some of the pictures of the different equipment and I realized that I had no idea what they were. Thatâs when I started to research into the equipmentâs time frames and uses,â explained Walz.
