I thought they restored his win/loss record and he had no part in it?
The NCAA did restore his records. But evidence continues to mount that he covered up what was known about Sandusky to protect his football program.
Paterno not only enabled a child molester, he protected and procured boys for a child molester.
Paterno was scum.
But he told a security guard so that was enough. /s
FTR, I have nothing to do with the site or anything on it. I have nothing to do with Penn State, save once attending a football game there as a partisan of the visiting team.

Terrible accusations. Provide proof or admit they're only your desired opinions.

Just sayin’....
Ah yeah, sure, it's just a coincidence. Probably a made up thing. No relationship at all to what happened 20+ years later. Uh huh... (/sarcasm)
I used to look up to Paterno because my father-in-law used to play street ball with him when they were kids. So I paid close attention to the Sandusky scandal. I discovered an article, can’t remember which source at the moment, of someone who went over JoePa’s schedule with a fine tooth comb. JoePa never changed his schedule, and I mean very rarely. In the year that one of those kid’s mom’s accused Sandusky, JoePa stayed back from his family vacation. He missed a couple of days with his family. I may be wrong in the dates, but I think it was in 1998 or whenever it was that Sandusky was being investigated. This finding, about the change in JoePa’s schedule was not widely reported. I am convinced that JoePa knew what was going on, and did nothing to help those boys. He couldn’t risk the attention to his program, to his fame and fortune. He lost me as a supporter.
Penn St. alum here....nothing happened in the locker room without JoePa knowing about it. It requires the suspension of disbelief to think that Paterno didn't know what Sandusky was involved in.
Just sayin....
Just saying what?
Nonsense.
Was Joe Pa also attracted to little boys and had no problems with Sandusky “lifestyle”??
At best he was an enabler.
At worst he was also an abuser.
Its reasonable that he’d not go on vacation while his coach was being investigated. He may have even been asked to stick around for questioning. In the end, the DA didn’t prosecute anyway. What was Paterno supposed to do, announce all that? And get the University sued for defamation?
No, at best it was done behind his back by someone he trusted and knew his regular schedule.
At worst, he was an axe murderer and bank robber and helped finance Muslim terrorism.
Jeez, let's just all fantasize, shall we?
A one-term Pennsylvania Governor deliberately stalled the investigation until he was safely in the Governor’s mansion.
He also “couldnt risk the attention to his program, to his fame and fortune.”
How many boys were literally screwed up for life during those two years.
Do you know the meaning of the word "procured"?
Are you? Does anyone on this thread even comprehend what slander is? Paterno was a moral idol for decades and helped thousands of students. Why be so anxious to ignore that? There should rightly be a very high bar, requiring actual evidence, before that moral stature is rejected.
