Paterno’s golden parachute. Disgraceful.

[Tupelo]

With Sandusky convicted and in jail, now we find out that the whole football program was complicit.
I have heard others say that the entire sports program at Penn state should be shut down. I disagree. That is punishing players and coaches that were as far removed from the child molestations as I am. However, the football program should be shut down for at least a generation and probably longer. Shut down until the stench of the Sandusky era can be removed. 25 years or 50 years or even longer. Then the entire records of the’Sandusky era’ should be changed to reflect forfeits of all games and the reason why. If and when Penn State is allowed to start up a football program, there should not be a living soul that remembers who or what Joe Paterno was.

[Cicero]

Paterno was renegotiating his contract? That’s what successful football coaches do—or even less successful coaches.

The Times, like the rest of the corrupt media, is eager to smear Joe Paterno at every opportunity. Yet there were others, usually relegated to the back pages, who were far more guilty, especially the college president and the head of the athletic department. But they don’t offer the same opportunity to smear a former hero.

One of the chief reasons the new President was hired was that he promised to increase LGBT programs and the preaching of gay rights at Penn State. What a coincidence.

There was already corruption there, and Paterno was not the primary cause of it. He did report Sandusky to his bosses, who were primarily responsible for the coverup. Maybe he should then have done more. But there is no excuse for this constant pretence among the Catholic-hating, gay-loving leftist presstitutes that Paterno was the head villain.

it’s amazing what people will do for a couple extra bucks

I doubt it would have been any different at any other major FB power school in the USA or any other organization

Covering up to avoid scandal is NOT unique any place in society from Washington to the schools to the churches to the board rooms

While I doubt we'll ever know, I'm curious about the facts and circumstances of Ray Gricar's disappearance. I suspect they are one of two things..

1. Entirely unrelated to this whole sordid mess

or

2. The rosetta stone that would expose a whole lot of ugliness in the Second Mile and the PSU administration that few of us can even begin to imagine.

PA Ping.

Shame! This could have all been avoided. Why did Paterno not suspend Sandusky immediately, then proceed to fire him, we may never know?

[maxwellsmart_agent]

Joe Paterno was a football coach, not a school administrator. He was told a tale (second hand) of a happening in a shower where the teller did nothing but tell Paterno. Paterno, in turn, passed it on to his superiors. That was his total involvement. Mike McQueery should have told the police or his father should have. Paterno did everything that should be expected of him with such hearsay.
Since McQueery did nothing with it, Paterno is the bad guy?
That doesn’t make any sense.

Seems to me that getting to Paterno’s legecy is what’s important to a bunch of ‘Yankee Haters’. The “Get the big guy!” syndrome, absolutely. Why is Jerry Sandusky’s behavior Joe Paterno’s fault? The truth is Sandusky’s behavior is Sandusky’s fault. The people who hid from it are the school administrators, not Paterno. Fact is Paterno did what he should with that McQueery hearsay.

In my opinion, Paterno was a literal pedophile, he participated in the anal rapes of the boys, and he held what he knew over the heads of the university and the BOT's to hold on to his job.
