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
Paterno and company behaved shamefully and likely criminally. There is little doubt of that. What I don’t understand is the calls to end football at Penn State and the sentiment that Penn State be “nuked”, “burned to the ground” and all of that. Using that logic every Pope, Priest, Nun, and Catholic Church should suffer the same fate. THOUSANDS of children have been raped and victimized by leaders of the Catholic Church. It has been proven, over and over again, that the Church hierarchy, at the very highest levels, knew about the rape and abuse and DID NOTHING to stop it. In fact, worse than Penn State, the Catholic Church, for DECADES, did everything they could to cover this up. Try to comprehend the Church coddled and enabled HUNDREDS of “Sandusky’s” moving the pedophile Priests to fresh hunting grounds whenever their abuse became an issue in a particular Parrish. What is the greater scandal?
