I don't doubt it. Too many millions at play. Gotta keep those donors and ticket holders believing in the institution. College football brings in a ton of money.
I believe that Mc Quarry told hthe PSU staff, but JoPa got second hand info.
Your belief is contrary to what is said in the grand jury report, and is contrary to what both McQueary and JoePa have stated otherwise. McQueary told JoePa himself, not the PSU staff.
That said, I am not sure if JoPa knew the whole thing
The grand jury report indicates that JoePa knew it was something of a sexual nature with a youngster.
I mean, when I was in Boy Scouts, the leaders took showers with the boys.
I hate to tell you this, but that is not normal behavior from any adult male. That's inappropriate behavior.
Yes, I been a PSU fan for years. Relatives been season tickets holder since 1930s.
Your affiliation with Penn State is clouding your judgment. Take a step or two back, and perhaps you'll see things more clearly.
You are right. In this case, not just to Penn State University and the NCAA, but to what was once a sleep little town in the Nittany Valley. Each Penn State home game is estimated to bring in $57-59 million dollars into the local economy.
Any lengthy analysis of Joe Paterno's career at PSU shows that this was almost a Boise State situation. When Paterno first accepted the job of head coach, there wasn't much at all to Penn State. For years, it was a football program with a supplemental university. Now it's a world-class university BECAUSE of successful football and even professors who abhor athletics are on the record acknowledging that.
A world-class university, yet those who graduated from Penn State, who live within a 150-mile+ radius, or support Penn State don't worship at the altar of higher education, they worship at the altar of football and Joe Paterno. We saw that on television when students rioted after Paterno was fired. When a silent protestor against child abuse was struck, spat upon, cursed, doused with beer (by men and women, old and young) outside Beaver Stadium at Penn State's last home game of 2011. When alumni who stated publicly that they had not read the grand jury presentment began a defense fund for Jerry Sandusky. When apologists stated that Paterno had done 'what he was supposed to do' by notifying Curley and Schultz and then ignoring the anal rape (forgetting that Paterno also conveniently looked the other way repeatedly, such as when Sandusky brought an adolescent male date to pre-fame sleepovers and banquets after the 1998 investigation, and his forced early resignation effective after the season).
I've heard of beer goggles.
Money goggles, power goggles, and "I'm proud of my college's football program's success" googles affect judgement about ethics, too.
