As a father and the leader of a coaching staff, it is impossible for us to understand what the victims of child abuse have gone through. Over the last nine months not one day has gone by that the victims, their families and all associated have not been on our mind. Our thoughts and prayers remain with them today and will for the rest of our lives.
These are challenging times, but the healing process has begun for all of us. When we face adversity our true character emerges and how we react to this adversity will define who we are.
Penn State's academics, alumni support and its current students are what make Penn State a class University. The diversity of our teams, our coaches and the student-athletes pulling together as one will make us stronger.
We believe in family. We believe in tradition. We believe in the future. We will move forward to become better, and we will never forget.
