And to say that any did is making an assumption based on supposition.

Generally, pedophiles don't stop. Sandusky may not have used Penn State facilities again. But they would certainly be an enticing place for young boys. And Sandusky used them at least twice in 1998, and once in 2000, and once in 2002, of which we know. And he didn't get into trouble. Maybe he decided it was too risky after that. But, heck, it was a big draw for him, and he certainly wasn't suffering much from using them. And pedophiles don't stop. So I'm happy to make an assumption that we're not remotely in the clear to say that none of these twelve new boys involved Penn State.

You mean the Second Mile camps?

The ESPN article described them as "youth athletic camps" held by the Sandusky Foundation.

Are you paid to defend Paterno and Penn State, or is this just a crusade?

You and others are claiming Paterno willfully turned a blind eye to this abuse. Your argument is basically that Paterno knows everything so if he wanted to stop it he could have.

You and others are saying or implying that Paterno is escaping prosecution solely in return for his testimony.

Your saying that Paterno could have kept Sandusky from using the facilities despite the fact he had a contracted right to use them.

You seem to be saying that he turned the investigation over the A.D. because he knew they would cover it up.

No, I'm not defending Penn State. In fact, I think it's a crap school. But I do think there are a group of self-righteous blowhards out looking to destroy a basically decent guy regardless of what the facts are. I think it's OK to point that out.

And you seem to be implying that Paterno had some kind of influence with the Sandusky Foundation.

Why do you think that?
