I recall those rumors, but always gave Urban the benefit of the doubt. I used to follow college ball very closely. Rumors like that are used to turn recruits from one school to another. I also gave Paterno the benefit of the doubt. He did not get along with Sandusky for years. Paterno also fired Sandusky before the rumors started. My general opinion about Paterno is that he had become a figurehead coach, a CEO and delegated most responsibilities. He wasn't to be seen in lockerrooms outside GameDay. He was seen in his office, meeting rooms and one the sideline, whether it be for practice or games. There was a stretch of 10 or so years at the end where he was aloof and out of touch with what as going on in a lot of things.

I don't think Paterno knew what was going on with Sandusky. Why would he pay attention to a guy he didn't like, wasn't with the football program and just had access to athletic facilities as part of his severance from his coaching job?

Paterno sent an email about it, then didn’t follow up.
If you thought a man under you was raping boys, do you just send an email?
If you heard the same, you don’t follow up?
Like I said, pipe to the head...

As for Urban, they’re adult females, so it’s not a crime, just he’s a POS. My good friend while there said his friend knew a girl who did. I know it isn’t proof.
