This guy gets it - but doesn't go far enough into the deceit of the PSU b.o.t. and the flat out dishonesty of louis freeh. Also the 3 PSU administrators are as innocent as the day is long. If they weren't, they'd have flipped on each other long ago, or been tried by now. They can't send them to court (It's been almost 3 years now) because they don't have any evidence. Because there is no evidence.

Many here don't realize this (or would never admit it), but Penn Staters are indeed winning this war.

Ask the ncaa lawyers how this is going. You think they eliminated most of the sanctions against PSU because of the Mitchell Report? Why on God's Green Earth would ANY organization backtrack on punishment against those that knowingly harbored a pedophile? What sense does that make?

They eliminated most of the sanctions because Wick Sollers, Paul Kelly, and Sue Paterno have them by the balls and will squeeze a full blown apology (and countless millions of dollars for charity) out of them - OR take down the entire ncaa in the process.

So you’re saying there’s not a smidgen of culpability on the part of anyone other than Sandusky?

[Lurker]

Penn State should be razed to the ground.

Every square inch if it.

“Yet there remains in the public sphere this erroneous belief that JoePa was a conspirator in the alleged cover-up of the Jerry Sandusky scandal.”

Erroneous heck! There is email proof that he was a conspirator. His own sworn testimony was that he knew and did nothing!

[TexasGator]

“Jerry Sandusky was not a coach at the time of the shower assault in 2001 in the Penn State football building. Sandusky was retired. “

JS was ‘moved into retirement because of the previous incident with a boy. JoePa looked the other way as JS continued to molest little boys.

[TexasGator]

“JoePa didn’t just tell his boss and the man in charge of the police about the incident. JoePa also asked them to look into it.”

ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!

[Timber Rattler]

Whatever.

[TexasGator]

“Does anyone honestly believe that if he had known Sandusky was a serial molester that JoePa would have been silent? “

YESSSSSSSSSSSS!

[TexasGator]

“But one thing is certain, and few non-Penn Staters in the public know it: By all evidence that we have seen, JoePa did not cover up any crime.”

One thing that is certain .... FlJoePa is full of BS!

[laweeks]

I wanted to see JoPa led out of court in prison jammies, but God wanted to see him first. I’ll bet he got his just desserts.

[vladimir998]

Look at how irrational some of these posts are. No matter what you post, they won’t listen.

2 – Sandusky, as a professor emeritus, had access to any building that he desired at Penn State. In other words, he didn’t need permission from JoePa or anyone else to go into the football building.

So does this "emeritus" title mean Sandusky can enter the football building if he ever gets out of prison? Nope, Penn State finally pulled his access in late 2011, when the scandal was out in the open. They could have done so at any time after the first report of Sandusky's child abuse in 1998, but no one was paying attention before then.

3 – Sandusky targeted his victims through his charity, The Second Mile, and not through Penn State or its football program. The Second Mile, much more than Penn State, deserves blame for this tragedy.

Over the next ten-year period, Sandusky "was frequently at the Lasch Building working out, showing up at campus events that Penn State supported...He was showering with young boys, staying in dormitories...There are more red flags than you could count, over a long period of time."

"Consequently, out of the 10 young boys that Sandusky would be convicted of sexually assaulting, most of them were abused after he was investigated in 1998 — at least five of them were assaulted "at Penn State’s football facilities and other places on campus after May 1998""[Freeh Report].

6 – JoePa actually went one step further and also told the man who is in charge of Penn State’s police force about it.

Why didn't he tell a member of Penn State's police force - an actual law enforcement officer instead of PSU's senior VP for finance and business - the so-called "man in charge of Penn State's police force"?

PSU's football program should have been suspended voluntarily by it's administration for several years - the misplaced priorities of this program are beyond belief.

11 – To this day, JoePa is the only person to have apologized for what happened, saying that in hindsight, he wished he would have done more. The key word is hindsight, as JoePa did not know at the time that Sandusky was a predator.

 

2 Sentences here in this point. And they conflict with and contradict each other. Paterno wished he would have done more. Which indicates he could have done more. But the fact is he did not do more. Paterno was culpable. He looked the other way. For years and years.

[RedwM]

Thank You FlJoePa

[onedoug]

Tell it to Sandusky’s victims. Those who might not have been had Paterno done more than just what he had to do. I know I would have. But then again, that’s my standard.
