If Sandusky was guilty of 'raping little boys' in 1998, why was he not arrested and jailed?
Right now I believe Paterno is getting pretty harsh treatment, but I can change my mind. Do you know the answer?
SEX RING COVERUP.
Consider this hypothetical. Your son went to a Sandusky camp, he took him to the PSU football facilities as a special treat (what kid wouldn't want to go there). While there they played some ball or whatever, wrestled and then showered together. This occurred in 2004. Now the grand jury report comes out and your son comes to you and says that he was a victim and he was raped by Sandusky. How would you feel about Paterno now knowing that he had it in his power to stop Sandusky and didn't?
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."
