“Second Mile” was recruiting chilren based on its ties to Penn State football. Holding camps on Penn State property. For almost SEVEN YEARS after Head Coach Joe Paterno was told about a witnessed rape of a child by his colleague.

Sorry.
“It’s not my job” does not fly here.
ANY Mom or Dad knows in his heart he would not have let this go and shrugged it off saying “I told the University bosses, they took away his locker room keys, what else can I do”

And I went to Penn State, was a Jo-Pa fan, never missed a game at Beaver Stadium for 4 years. Team never even lost a game until my Jr year. And during this whole time little boys were being sodomized in the football locker rooms.

"Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly said Monday the university's failure to report the alleged incidents to police or child-protection officials likely led to further victimization of young boys for several years. Paterno's legal requirement was that he notify his superior, but on Monday Pennsylvania State Police Commissioner Frank Noonan suggested there was a "moral responsibility" for the coach to make sure police were contacted."

Here's the timeline that counts:

• Week One: Paterno is out. In disgrace. Deal.
• Week Two: Sandusky flips in the formal interrogation and names names. Whole lotta names.
• Week Three: NCAA announces they will "contemplate sanctions" against Penn State and then hide their eventual near-total inaction behind Sandusky's very public prosecution.
• Week Four: Penn State is gonna get hit with the biggest lawsuit of this nature ever. And they're gonna pay every penny.
