But I’m pretty confident that I haven’t relied upon the Freeh Report as my authority on anything in these comments.

Then what is your authority???

Since when does anyone need an authority to conclude tha Sandusky’s “retirement”, after being investigated for boogery in 1999, was more than just taking advantage of a lucrative offer?

It’s surprising to me that Sandusky never returned to coaching (actually it isn’t surprising in retrospect considering he had access to little boys at his charity and could wow them with PSU’s athletic facilities, pre-game meals with the football team, bowl game trips, etc., etc. ). How many other successful college coaches took an early lucrative retirement and never returned to college or professional coaching? I can’t think of any.

It appears to me that Joe Paterno, perhaps the most powerful figure at PSU, knew what Sandusky was up to but kept it under wraps to protect his football program’s saintly reputation. Knock yourself out but you’re not going to convince me otherwise.

Maybe this fall we could stand in the shadow of Paterno’s statue on campus and discuss this face to face over a beverage. Wait... What? They took the statue down?
