Yes. The plot thickens. Now ask yourself.
WHAT did Sandusky have on whom such that he was allowed to play with boys for years and nobody could touch him?
Willful blindness. People didn't want to believe that "royalty" would do that. Sandusky was royalty at PSU. If he went down for that in 98, there probably would have been a house cleaning and "retirement" for Paterno just because he hired Sandusky.
That's not to mention the black eye for "their team"
