Freeh’s report was complete and total bunk, paid for by the Board of Trustees. They got exactly what they wanted. “They protected Jerry to save the football program’s image”. Nonsense. There was zero evidence linking Paterno to the coverup. There was nothing from anyone involved saying “we gotta keep this under wraps or it’ll hurt recruiting”. No evidence even remotely touching on any of that. But those were Freeh’s conclusions and what the media ran with.
It stinks to high heaven. They administrators weren’t protecting the football program, they were protecting somebody else very high in power (either financial or political power, or both.)
I have no connection to PSU but this really is over reaching. Penn State will pay for this for decades. If the university is destroyed, who will compensate the aggrieved ?
“There was zero evidence linking Paterno to the coverup.”
I had read that there were emails to and from Paterno specifically showing Paterno’s culpability.

...PSU koolaid drinkers ought to be put into psychology texts for future study in denial tendencies...so by your logic, or lack of same, if there is no tangible evidence trail in which someone screams out in big, bold letters ‘we did it, we’re guilty, punish us’, then there is no crime...hate to be prosecutor in your world...the Freeh report was meticulously organized, with copious documents, many not relevant, some more so...but I do believe Freeh has a little bit more info at hand than you do, for all your blathering on this forum...
...Since you seem to think Paterno had nothing to do with anything, how do you explain his telling the GJ that he knew of no similar prior incidident with Sandusky and a boy in the shower, when everyone with a warm brain knows he knew about the 1999 incident...in other words, why did Joe tell the jury he knew nothing when he clearly did? Lying under oath, maybe? What’s the name for that? Oh, I forgot...in your world, nothing is culpable, without a banner confession attached to it...
