That will come out.
Mark Madden a radio talk show host has speculated the same we have...
They told Sandusky he would be punished for his indescretions by taking away his "in the wings" role as heir-apparent to Paterno...+ mandated he retire...not go somewhere else...but retire at age 55.
The problem there was -- that although they had the "goods" on him to keep him from coaching @ another university, from then on he had the "goods" on Penn State that would keep them quiet from reporting repeat offenses they uncovered.
He could claim Penn State knew about it in '98 and failed to act.
Therefore, it all became a conspiracy of silence. A conspiracy of cowards protecting their own jobs & pension checks & "THE PROGRAM."
“pension checks”
The state is liable, too?
