Not even a good try. In 2011 the grand jury investigation was well underway and it was clear that Penn State would face no legal challenge to revoking Sanduskys privileges.

PSU's Emeritus policy clearly states that the University can revoke Emeritus status whenever it feels like it for any reason (look it up) - there never was any legal condition on revoking Sandusky's access. And I still don't see a good try or even a bad try at explaining why some assistant football coach who was known to have been investigated for sexual molestation of a child was considered Emeritus material by PSU in the first place.

As for the rest... yawn. This is the typical Paterno haters cherrypicking.

Yeah, those are facts, not cherries. And I don't hate Paterno - I feel sad that a legendary college coach was revealed at the end of his career and life to be so devoid of character and good judgment. Paterno had a chance to save a lot of children from a sexual predator - he wasn't up to that achievement and came up small instead.

Again, a very feeble effort on your part, indeed.

The facts speak for themselves, and what they have to say about PSU's football program is not good. I'll leave it to you to tell those facts that reality is a very feeble effort on their part.

You're confused. The policy you're citing was revised in 2013. Gee. Wonder why. Prior to that, emeritus status continued under the same rules as tenure.

But in any event, it doesn't matter, neither the old nor the new policy would apply. Sandusky wasn't an emeritus professor, he negotiated an exit contract which entitled him to the same privileges as an emeritus professor. That's right: a contract. Not governed by any then existing PSU HR policy whatsoever; but by the contract law of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.

As for why he was allowed to negotiate such a contract, well, because at the time the contract was negotiated, no one knew anything more about the 1998 investigation than that both the PADPW and the police had cleared Sandusky.

That's right CLEARED. We may know better now, but when Sandusky terminated his Coaching job at PSU all that was known was that an accusation had been made, investigated, and amounted to NOTHING. Like Freeh, you're trying to hold people responsible for failing to be clairvoyant.

As I said: the usual feeble nonsense by someone who doesn't know anything about Penn State, its policies, or the history of this case.
