With all the publicity about the scandals in the Catholic Church and Joe being Catholic this was more than a lapse in judgement. It is hard to deal with something like this, especially if he an Sandusky were long time friends. But, life isn't fair and morality isn't something you set aside when it hits close to home. That's just my take. I could be misinformed and I don't mean to offend anyone by calling it as I see and feel it. Unless they agree with the idea of just letting it go.
For the record: I live in Washington State where the statute of limitations on child rape would have let Sandusky off the hook without even and indictment. So had he coached at UW there would be no scandal and no publicity.
From the article - posted right above (from someone who was around the program for 25 years):
"He never liked Sandusky, that was known, for a very long time, by people anywhere near the program."
I hope you can understand my frustration when you repeat media distortions like this, and also use them to form your opinion. Who told you Joe and js were friends? The media? Any PSU fan/alum/etc. knows this was never the case. Ever. Don't listen to the media. Please.
