What about the 1998 incident where Sandusky admitted showering with a naked boy? Knowing JoePa’s position is it remotely possible that both local and campus police investigated the incident, had audio tape of Sandusky apologizing to victim’s mother in her home for what he’d done, and JoePa never knowing or being told about it? And Sandusky soon after announcing his retirement was just a coincidence? NO way. JoePa knew about the 1998 crime and pushed JS out the door without taking away his keys to the Penn State showers where he continued his molestations.
1998 was fully investigated and no charges were filed.
Joe didn’t know about 1998. It actually would have been against the law for him to know about it.
JS took advantage of a 30 year retirement deal the state was offering for an increased pension. Had the Jets not lost their last 3 games that year, and Al Groh not quit to become the UVA coach, JS would have been the UVA coach.
Joe had zero to do w/ JS’s emeritus status. That was approved by Spanier and actually signed off on by Erickson. Joe questioned JS’s ability to bring 2nd mile kids on campus (liability), but was overruled.
