Paterno and Folks at Penn State knew.. long before the shower incident was reported.
The incident in that hotel room at the Bowl Game, ended any plausible deniability that the JoePa or Penn State Administration had regarding them “not knowing” exactly what Sandusky was.
From that point forward there is no plausible way for ANYONE in a position of authority in the Penn State organization or the Football program to argue they “had no idea”.
Sandusky was pushed out because of what he did in that hotel room, and it was covered up because those in power knew if it came out it would destroy the program, and harm the school. So instead of handing it over to authorities, they quietly pushed Sandusky out and hushed it up.
It is sad that JoePa’s legacy will be tainted by this, however, it is taint that is justly deserved. You have to completely suspend your brain functions to believe that after the incident at that bowl game that Joe, or other administrators at that school “had no idea”... let alone allowed him continued access to penn state facilities.... then even after that to just “pass it along and think nothing more of it” when someone else comes forward saying the witnessed him abusing a child again, and felt they did what they needed to do.
Reality is simple, Sandusky was JoePa’s friend, he was HAND PICKED to replace him, until that bowl game and that hotel room incident.... suddenly after that, Sandusky is “out” but still around. They knew, they covered up for him to protect their program and the school, and perhaps even to protect a “friend” as well. What was clearly lacking in all this was any effort to protect the children.
There is absolutely no way in light of the facts, that you can conclude JoePa and other folks in the Penn State administrative structure “HAD NO IDEA” post that hotel room bowl game incident. THey knew what this guy had done and was doing, perhaps not ever single incident but they knew what he was and they protected him.
Right -- an incident that no one knew about until the victim came forward 10 years later.
You have to prefabricate better than that.
<>Sandusky was pushed out because of what he did in that hotel room<>
Another one of your prefabrications.
The truth is that Sandusky had already retired with a lucrative emeritus status the previous July 1999, and had just agreed to stay on until the end of the year.
There is no end to your bs is there??? But please don’t let the facts stop you.
