‘I don’t think so.’

that depends on how you’re defining ‘he knew’...of course he knew after the McQueary conversation, though obviously by this time Jerry was out of the football program...but Joe testified to a grand jury that he was not aware of a 1998 cop investigation of a mother’s complaint about Sandusky; this may be true, but in my opinion it beggars belief that someone notorious for micromanaging his program would be unaware that his top coach was being looked at by the cops...

Anybody over the age of 70 comes from a different generation.

You don’t talk about negative things.

I do find it sad, that we (collective Americans) hold Hugh Hefner in higher regard than we do Joe Paterno these days.

Re: “but Joe testified to a grand jury that he was not aware of a 1998 cop investigation of a mother’s complaint about Sandusky;”

The 1998 incident was investigated by a state child welfare agency and was officially investigated and documented by the Executive Director of Second Mile.

Neither the Director nor the welfare agency filed a Police report.

And, the '98 allegations were in the local paper and on local news. As I recall, the coverage just faded away. Makes it especially hard to believe he didn't know.
