He's lucky he's not looking at prison. Yet.
I’ve never had any use for Paterno. He had an interview years ago where he said that his football program built character in the players.
I’ve always wondered what he’d think of one of his players trapping a catch on the field and, knowing that it was incomplete, accepting a referee’s decision that it was complete.
That, in and of itself, is morally wrong. But not to JoPa . . . Now, we all know that that player’s team mates would kick his butt for his honesty, but, to knowingly accept an incomplete pass as complete to me is horse-hockey . . . especially if you’re being taught “character” as JoPa put it.
So, nothing would surprise me with this empty suit if he gets in trouble for being involved with the coverup of this pervert. Sorry, but at his shrine, I do not worship!
I hate it because Bowen got shit canned also..
Like I said in another thread: If someone comes to me and says they saw something “inappropriate” in the shower’s (with a kid) with my assistant coach, don’t ya’ think I would pry for more detail as to what took place?
JoePa is lying through his teeth.

Pedophiles are sneaky.. else they wouldn’t last long..
Groups of pedophiles are sneaky and “connected”...
I say “waterboard” Sandusky.. because there may be and probably are others..
At the least he should lie detected and de-briefed for info..
Possibly pedophilia is worse then “treason”...
The Penn State Pedophile Saga continues...
Moral reprobates, every damn one of them that enabled this child molesting deviant.
This article is very badly written and hard to read.
If you have any doubt, read the indictment to see how Sandusky groomed these boys just like all pedophiles do. People testified that Paterno knew the truth and from what I’ve read, he is also guilty of failing to act.
By being too stubborn to retire, he’s probably going to end up being the sacrificial one, saving higher-ups at Penn State from further culpability.
Personally, I think Paterno is selfish and power-mad. He should retire.
Being an alumni, I’ve disowned PSU ever since they covered up for the Michael Mann scandal. The entire administration has been corrupted.
The Big 10 has openly sanctioned/harbored the pedophile culture for over 50 years...in fact, has enshrined the top pedophile facilitators.
How Alfred C. Kinsey’s Sex Studies Have Harmed Women and Children [Big 10 harbors perp culture]
Frankly what's needed is the same approach Stanford University took in the 70s when its A.D. refused to schedule any athletic matches vs. BYU because of BYU's harboring of racist policies.
We need bold courageous moral A.D.s who will stop scheduling their teams to play Penn State and Indiana University because of their open sanctioning of the pedophile culture.
I don't think there will be much left of the Penn State program when all is said and done. Child anal rape is not something many people will dismiss.
I know I’m stepping into it here, but in large institutions there are policies that govern what to do; who to tell and when to tell about any situation involving inappropriate sexual behavior by a staff member. Those policies usually define “moral turpitude”. It sounds to me as though McQueery and Paterno followed the letter of the policy. Each reported what they knew to their immediate superiors. McQueery told Paterno and Paterno told the President of Penn State. Paterno could only report what he heard - second hand information. Once an employee makes a report under the policy, the employee is bound to say nothing and is forbidden to undertake any investigation unless directed to do so by his / her boss. The state of Pennsylvania has cleared Paterno - he is not a suspect or a subject of any investigation. Where the chain of care fell apart was with the AD office and the President. If there was any effort to cover up or hide anything, the responsibility seems to rest there. I’ve had to initiate two “moral turpitude” investigations - both based on second hand information. One turned out one way; the other turned out the exact opposite. In both situations the last conversation I had about the incidents was with my boss who gave me verbal and written orders to say nothing to anyone and to discuss the situations with no one unless requested to do so by law enforcement. Those orders limited me but they also protected me, especially in the situations where the employee was cleard of all charges because had I blabbered about it an innocent person’s reputation would have been ruined and I would have been sued into poverty. In turpitude cases all information flows uphill, never downhill, so for all Paterno knew the administration had investigated and responded appropriately. Paterno likely received no formal feedback on the outcome. That’s how it works. What happened is horrible - no argument there. There’s some evidence in news stories that Paterno was suspicious about Sandusky’s foundation and the amount of time he spent there - to the point of giving Sandusky and ultimatum to coach or go run the foundation.
He isn’t just a pedophile, he is a magnitude more disgusting homosexual boy-molestor. Like NAMBLA members he would probably be welcomed to march in the next “gay” pride parade.
He's lucky he's not looking at prison. Yet.
What does the rest of the article say? I stopped reading after that.
The whole thing is eerily reminiscent of the Catholic Church scandals. To me it seems that the situation is exactly parallel. An institution that should be about good things and good values being subverted and perverted by bad people and other people that cover up for them. Seems that the lesson that the coverup is (almost) worse than the crime is about to be relearned in Happy Valley.
