If JS had admitted to molesting a kid in 1998, he would have been charged. You know this.

Initially, I was thankful that you were at least following some of the bread crumbs of truth I was laying out, but if this is any indication of the seriousness with which you approach this case, then I guess we’ll have to just agree to disagree.

Your innuendos and your headline reading induced imagination don’t equal facts.

Paterno vs. the NCAA will have the last say in this. Sue actually holds their balls in a vice right now and is probably deciding what to do with them.

I say that Paterno vs. the NCAA will be the last say because there will never be any trials for Graham Spanier, Gary Schultz, or Tim Curley. This is as obvious as the stain on your shirt.

If the OAG had the goods, these guys would be in jail. As it is, they were wrongly charged and the state is just looking for a way out in an election year.

I don’t know this. Lots of stuff, even shootings and rape are covered up in college athletic programs

-——————————————Wikipedia Sandusky

The Freeh Report states that although the “avoidance of the consequences of bad publicity” was the main driver in failing to protect child abuse victims and report to authorities, the report outlines other causes as well, among which were: “A striking lack of empathy for child abuse victims by the most senior leaders of the University”; a failure of oversight by the Board of Trustees; a University President “who discouraged discussion and dissent”; “a lack of awareness of child abuse issues”; and “a culture of reverence for the football program that is ingrained at all levels of the campus community”.[96]

The report outlines how all four men were aware of the 1998 abuse incident in the locker-room shower, and had followed its investigation at the time.[97] Freeh’s investigation uncovered a file kept by Schultz in which he wrote notes about Sandusky’s 1998 incident. For instance, Schultz wrote: “Is this opening of Pandora’s box?” He also wondered, “other children?”[98] Freeh stated that Schultz had “actively sought to conceal those records”.[99][100]

The evidentiary weight of Freeh’s report draws heavily upon retrieved emails from 1998 and 2001, which Freeh referred to as “the most important evidence” in the report.[100] The report asserts that these emails demonstrate that in 1998 Paterno knew of the investigation of Sandusky, and followed it closely;[101] and suggest that it was Paterno, “long regarded as the single most powerful official at the university,” who persuaded Spanier, Curley, and Schultz not to formally report Sandusky to law enforcement or child welfare authorities.
