That's not what the Grand Jury found. And Freeh found no evidence of such -- only fact-Freeh allegations. If you have evidence for your claim then why are you afraid of an open investigation???
Why are you not pushing for a full investigation of Dr Jack Raykowitz who ran the Second Mile and was professionally trained in child welfare with contacts in all state agencies??? He was made aware of Sandusky in 1998 and 2001 and what did he do??? Nothing because if Sandusky went down, then so would his $233,000/yr job with TSM.
Let the investigation begin --
Yes, investigate away.
This goes well beyond Paterno and his involvement. The Second Mile should be turned inside out. Clean out the deviant bastards. It’ll be difficult, as I’m sure many of them are well-connected.
But to believe that Paterno wasn’t involved with the Sandusky cover-up is to be in denial. So Paterno insulated himself by falling back on “I followed protocol” and “Oh shucks, I had no idea anything like man-boy rape existed”. Bottom line is he knew about Sandusky (How could he not have known?) and he didn’t stop the abuse. Paterno already admitted he should have done more. What does that tell you? Paterno’s lucky he’s not around to face, at a minimum, perjury charges.
Paterno didn’t know about Sandusky, and Obama didn’t know about Fast and Furious. Right.
Let the investigation begin —...
...while you have made some interesting and salient points about the Freeh report, and while I am on record here as saying that Paterno was scapegoated in the classic sense of the word, any further investigation, no matter how you slice and dice it, is going to turn up one unalterable fact...that the football program as represented by Paterno and Curley, and the administration, in the persons of Spanier and Schultz, knew that Sandusky was engaged in questionable behavior on campus grounds...and that if uncovered, this behavior could prove,well, most inconvenient...so they decided to prohibit Sandusky from bringing his ‘guests’ onto the campus, thusly ending any responsibility for the misbehavior on their part...
...that is what condemns them on a moral level...they knew they would be in trouble if Sandusky’s deviancy were brought to light, but they regarded his misbehaving elsewhere with studied indifference, as Paterno’s alert dying on the chain of command starkly indicates...we can possibly grant that they may have been unaware of the level of deviancy, but they knew enough that it would have redounded to their discredit, and attempted to funnel it somewhere other than campus...
...this is, as I say, unalterable fact, and you can blame the Freeh report, and the NCAA for PSU’s current woes, and be able to make some compelling points in doing so, but you cannot reclaim the honor that these men (including McQueary, and his father and family friend Dranov)so studiously pissed away, nor the moral high ground that was explicit in the name of image of Penn State football through the years...it required one phone call by any of these individuals (Schultz or Spanier, most likely, but any one of them, and obviously Paterno)to competent authorities, and at least some of Sandusky’s deviancy would have been thwarted...but they did nothing...when all else is boiled down, and PSU and its football program move on to better times, as it will, this is the legacy that will be remembered, that deviancy by an inidividual on campus is bad news, and needs to be stopped, but deviancy by that same person elsewhere-fine and dandy by us...
