I don't know if this is true or not. I saw it on Yahoo sports and thought that some here would be interested.

Bummer to see an icon go down in flames - assume personal loyalty trumped morality.

“I would be more comfortable meeting with the person.. tell him the information we received... and tell him we are aware of the first situation.”

That reads to me as an admission by Curley that they did know about the 1998 incident.

Penn State fans, not to worry: obama will issue an Executive Privilege order covering Paterno’s communications.

My opinion of MeQueary has improved somewhat after reading this article. He was probably too shocked to beat the crap out of Sandusky and did go to Paterno. It now appears that Paterno, Curly and the President of the school - a noted homosexual promoting individual - wanted to cover up Sandusky’s crimes.

I stand vindicated. Called that scumbag out when the scandal first broke. Those “Joe Pa” cultists need to find another idol to worship.

In Texas, the law is if a teacher knows of child abuse they must report it or they can be charged. Yes, different state and different laws.

If this true I do not know how Penn State fans especially in Central PA where everything was tied to Pateron will do. Will the University remove his name from the library and the statues of Paterno leading his players onto the field?

Nothing went on that paterno didnt know about.There were way too many instances involving sandusky through the years to make anyone think that paterno didnt know exactly what was going on.They need to bulldoze the entire college into fields because the stain and the smell will never leave.

I wonder what kind of impact this would have had on the Sandusky trial if it had come out earlier.

You mean people who play games their entire lives may not be heroes? Shocking! Next you'll tell me that people who play pretend on screen all their lives are not good role models.

If they were real heroes then all of the major sports organizations would have shut down after 9/11 and thousands of those athletes would have joined our special forces and their help along with that of millions of home based Americans would have truly won the War on Terror. Instead, we have an entire country of people who have forgotten the thousands of dead and tens of thousands of wounded and psychologically damaged. Most combat vets can't even find a damn job, because most hiring managers have absolutely no patriotism and no comprehension of the sacrifice of service.

I believe Joe offed himself by intentionally overdosing on pain meds. He was in that mess up to his eyeballs. That's how he was able to hold on for so long, imho. He blackmailed the administration to allow him to keep coaching, imo.

Here's a discussion topic: Joe Paterno, Paul Bryant, and the doctrine of Papal Infallibility.

If the way you feel on Sunday depends on how your team played on Saturday, you have a problem.

The people at CNN are left-wing liars. So far, we don’t have the emails, but only a detailed description of what the say.

The decision to cover up was made between the athletic director and the President, AFTER Paterno passed on what he had been told to them. Maybe Paterno should have gone around his bosses when they decided on the cover up, but they were the guys who made that decision, not Paterno. Theirs was the primary responsibility for the coverup.

Of course left-wing CNN wants to shift the blame from a pro-gay-rights President to a Catholic icon. Somehow or other gay rights in academia have nothing to do with it.

Anybody that would have spoke out on this perverted homosexual. Would have been tagged a homophobe.

So, it was about as bad as anyone would have guessed, and I continue to be astounded by the things some people put in emails, as if emails are the most private and secure of communications.

Such a revelation would have destroyed their football program. Better to let the lives of young boys be destroyed. After all, what’s the worst that could happen to them? They could become homosexuals, pedophiles, serial killers, psychologically disturbed fathers, husbands, or always think there is something wrong with them. It’s nothing compared to a football program.

If Joe Paterno did know what was going on, his estate should be sued for every cent it has.

Maybe Penn State can borrow some money from the Catholic church.

If that's that case, Paterno--if alive today--would be facing Federal charges for violating the Clery Act for not reporting a felony crime on a college campus and the Mann Act for contributing to the delinquency of a minor across state lines. And that would have landed Paterno in Federal prison for at least 4-5 years.

Question now is: how many other Penn State football program coaches/staffers and Penn State college administration officials may be facing the same Federal charges?

McQuery was and is still a coward, nothing he will ever do will erase the fact that he refused to act. Paterno built a football program that became a cult. Paterno stayed way too long. To think that he did not know is a fool’s game. He knew what a POS Sandusky was, but he chose to look the other way.

There are no non-guilty parties in this mess, not the administration, not Paterno, not the current head coach, not the donors, not the local residents that refuse to admit that Paterno was indeed guilty.
