7 They were saying the new trophy is named the Stagg-Paterno award.. looks like they might be changing that!

http://tinyurl.com/86qsvvu

The great grandson of Amos Alonzo Stagg said his family would consider re-evaluating the name of the Big Ten championship trophy — the Stagg-Paterno Championship Trophy (pictured) — if “more disturbing evidence” comes to light in the case surrounding former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, CBSÂ’ Dennis Dodd writes today.

It's only football - nothing of any importance. It isn't like he taught a single student calculus. In terms of contribution to society, Paterno rates slightly behind a janitor who worked his ass off for 46 years.

are you fucking kidding me?

46 years of service are great and admirable. There are a small list of thing that can ruin it.  Knowing someone sodomized a 10 year old boy and not reporting it to the police is one of those things.

I think covering up child rape trumps 46 years of honorable service.  He put his legacy ahead of a child's safety.

33 I'd like backtrack on my Ron Zook comment...he may be a shitty coach, but to the best of my knowledge he's not the type to cover up a felony.

34

Guys, can't you see what a cockfucker Paterno is??

He declared that he would resign at the end of the season as though it was his fucking decision?

He isn't the boss. He put that statement out today that he would resign at the end of the season in hopes of making sure he coached out the year. He knew he was going to be fired and he announced his retirement at the end of the season in hopes of preventing that.

Quit buying into the image Joe Paterno has been selling for sometime. He's not some nice amiable doddering old fool. He's smart, shrewd and well aware of what is going on.

Posted by: Ben at November 09, 2011 06:47 PM (UvdzB)

35 I haven't been following this story because the idea of pedophilia completely disgusts me. As a lifelong Catholic, I find it difficult to forgive, not only the priests who did the abusing, but the church officials who were more concerned with protecting the church than with protecting the children. I know it is a shock that someone like Paterno that people so respect may have been part of a cover up. If he knew that young boys were being raped, and he didn't report it to authorities, he has to go. To this day I feel there are bishops who should have been fired.

36 There are people who talk the talk and then there are people who walk the walk when it comes to living an "honorable" and "noble" life.  JoePa is the former. 

Posted by: Kratos (Ghost of Sparta) at November 09, 2011 06:47 PM (UR5vq)

37 Finally got it right.  Fire all of those bastards.  Every last one of 'em.  Disgusting doesn't come close.  When it's a male domonated area (football, Catholic Church) it seems these things get "overlooked" or hushed up.  Add a nun or a mother an suddenly...yeah.  Fire 'em all.

40 What the fuck? So if somebody does 46 years of "honorable service" that gives them the ability to turn a blind act to multiple acts of child rape? It's 61 years and he didn't turn a blind eye, did he? Now it would have been great if it hadn't been McQueary who found him but a defensive guy with some bad history with him.

Posted by: t-bird at November 09, 2011 06:49 PM (FcR7P)

41

And as for the 46 years rubbish, let me ask: how many years would have to serve to offset his complicity in child molestation? Would 45 be enough? How about 44? Forty? Thirty? Twenty? Ten?

Football is a trivial, totally insignificant pursuit, any number of fourth rate universities' viewpoints notwithstanding. If Paterno would hush evidence of child molestation, he's a turd, even if he won 46 national championships in football.

42 Oh, crap, sock from a previous thread.

Posted by: nerdygirl at November 09, 2011 06:49 PM (c+RSX)

43 The downside to leave him in place was too large. What if it turns out he knew more than we know? The university couldn't survive that. They had to suspend him indefinitely, get him to resign now, or fire him. I suspect (based on prior attempts at forced resignation and the wording of Joe's statement today) that they offered him at least the option of immediate resignation, and he rejected it, leaving the board no alternative.

Blame Joe Paterno. He threw his entire career down the shitter. He could have done the right thing in 1998 and 2002, but he didn't.

There are only a handful of things in life that are unforgivable. Enabling child rape by not reporting it are one of those things.

Scroll down the main page here at the HQ and read the legal document in the Russ/DiT post.

It's fucking brutal and it's clean JoePa knew about it in 2002 and it's highly likely he knew about the 1998 incident.

45 >>>Bad action, Penn State. You just told the world that 46 years of honorable service mean nothing.

It DOES mean nothing.  It's less than worthless.  The man forfeited all of that "honorable service" -- and so much more, including most likely his eternal soul to hell -- by doing what he did.  I don't care if he was the reincarnation of Jesus Christ BEFORE this...he's human scum now. 

My only regret is that people won't beat this rotten corrupt sack of shit to death with their fists, lynch-mob style.  He'll get to die in his bed of old age. 

He could have saved who-knows-how-many children from being rapes and having their lives destroyed by a monster.  He KNEW.  And not only did he remain silent, he LET IT CONTINUE TO HAPPEN.

Fuck him, and fuck those who would defend him.

Exactly.  I said in the earlier Paterno thread that I found it galling that he was trying to serve out the rest of the season -- and that I considered it incredibly unlikely that he would be allowed to do so.

In fact, I just won a nice amount of money on a bet about this very subject.

Look, everyone, before you make some halfasses assessment about JoePa, please go down to the DiT/Russ thread and read the legal write up.

It's clear that JoePa knew about this in 2002. It's almost irrefutable.

He's not guiltless. This isn't some hitjob. He knew.

Max, it is PA State Law that you have to report child abuse within 48 hours of witnessing it.

Please read the legal write up. JoePa knew. He fucking knew and he had such chutzpah to declare his own exit timeline without consulting the board of trustees.

Posted by: Ben at November 09, 2011 06:56 PM (UvdzB)

67 When it came out that the press had signed a non-disclosure agreement (in other words,  and agreement to cover up a huge blunder by Obama) I said,  "How do we know that anything they report is true?"

So,  with Joe Paterno,  I ask this:

How do we know what else he covered up but hasn't been discovered?

We now know he is without ethics when it comes to a buddy doing something evil.  What else might have happened in the last 46 years?

Should have retired 10 years ago.  Then none of this wouldn't have happened.

Posted by: Warden at November 09, 2011 06:58 PM (JQ3Jl)

71 Used to be conservatives believed in due process. You guys make me sick. I don't think "due process" means what you think it means. If Paterno believed in due process he'd have turned his information over to the police to let the process work. Instead he put his own opinion and his own interests above due process. That's why he was fired.

Yup. I work in higher ed and am well acquainted with the power that a Board of Trustees holds.  The minute I saw his statement I knew he was done.  Paterno chose arrogance over humility. He chose...unwisely.

No, the President will be stepping down.

Here is how it is going to play out. Our current Republican gov Tom Corbett is the former state AG. He is a tough sonofabitch.

Penn State is a state school. People seem to forget that. There will be investigations, heads will roll, people will be brought up on charges. This won't be white washed.

No.  Here is what JoePa should have done:

1)  Picked up the phone stashed away on the corner of his desk.
2)  Call the PA State Police and report what he was told about Sandusky (PSU officials were obligated to report these stories to the police no more than 48 hours after being informed).

JoePa could have saved the lives of several boys if he had just made one phone call.  He failed when he treated this as a mere HR issue.

Posted by: Chef Mojo at November 09, 2011 07:00 PM (AyBup)

77 Paterno pissed his own reputation down the drain when he failed to take a stand for the kid who was raped in the shower. Does anyone think that Paterno would have just sat by and done exactly the same thing if it had been his grandson getting raped in the shower? Of course not.

Does anyone remember that Woody Hayes required his players to go to class and graduate? Does anyone remember that Woody Hayes gave a ton of time, energy, and money to Ohio State? No, they remember Woody Hayes for punching another team's player, and that's where Paterno's headed.

85 Paterno also said that he wanted to make things as easy on the Board as possible, that he didn't want them to waste one minute thinking of him, which is why he decided to announce he'd retire at the end of the season...how incredibly noble and big of him...

MaxMBJ. I will give you the benefit of the doubt. I know you're a regular here and a good guy.

I figured by your statements you didn't read the report. No biggie.

 

That's been the problem here in PA. People are simply questioning Paterno's involvement without reading the legal brief. I did too before I read it, but it's clear he knew. And he should fucking pay for it.

90 I'm fairly certain that certain people in specific positions such as teachers, are legally obligated to report directly to the police cases of even suspected abuse.  There is no getting around that Paterno was in the wrong by simply informing his superiors.  I'm pretty sure he was obligated to go to the police.

Posted by: jas at November 09, 2011 07:04 PM (ZM2Bn)

91 Had to have been fired by lawyer.

Penn State is going to get sued for hundreds of millions.

Meanwhile Joe Pa is running around admitting guilt constantly. Good for his PR, bad for Penn State's precarious legal situation.

Penn State's lawyers had to have pulled the trigger on this. Crazy to allow Penn State to keep him out there with him giving ammo to the other side in the upcoming legal fight.

First off, if they put Paterno's name on the Big Ten trophy I will be pissed.  Hell, why not make it the Paterno-Tressell trophy.  Second, there is no defense for Paterno.  This is a  10 year old kid we're talking about, not some adult or college kid.  Yes Paterno reported it to his superiors but he should have reported it to the police too, if he really cared.  I don't think he did.  It was an old acquaintance, it had nothing to do with his team, it didn't affect him personally, so he didn't care.  And I knew I was right when I saw that disgusting spectacle of him on his front lawn lapping all the praise and we love yous from his fanbots, all the time knowing that kids had been molested.

I'm fairly certain that certain people in specific positions such as teachers, are legally obligated to report directly to the police cases of even suspected abuse.  There is no getting around that Paterno was in the wrong by simply informing his superiors.  I'm pretty sure he was obligated to go to the police.

I will say it again because no one reads the comments.

In PA you are legally obligated to report child abuse within 48 hours of witnessing it or are subject to 90 days in jail and a 200 dollar fine.

Also, the media isn't reporting something.

Sandusky was suspect of this by police in 1998. The DA decided to not bring charges. And guess what. That DA is missing and has been for some time.

99 I think you have to look at this, as always, from the emic perspective--from the viewpoint of the culture in which it occurred. Child rape is accepted and practiced not only among other species of higher primates (baboons, for instance), but also among human societies like some isolated Mormon sects, some Pacific Islanders and among the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The point isn't whether or not Sandusky was engaging in Democrat love. The point is that Paterno had substantive reason to believe that Sandusky was. If he didn't report it, he's complicit, because even if it the report had later turned out not to be true, at the time Paterno couldn't have known that. He could have been covering for someone guilty as sin (as it looks like he was), or not, but either way, he was willing to cover up evidence of child molestation.

Sorry, but if I were the President of Penn State, I'd dissolve the football program, and only consider reviving it a decade's time.

Let's see: Joe "Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things" Paterno managed to coach for 46 years ... and did it by covering up a case or two or ... of child-molestation.

You should have handed the molester over to the police the day you found out. See, "The minute you think you've got it made, disaster is just around the corner."

Gee Joe, "Success without honor is an unseasoned dish; it will satisfy your hunger, but it won't taste good."

129 Used to be conservatives believed in due process. You guys make me sick.

You might be interested in knowing what being raped by an adult man does to a boy. I'm 49. The last time I had sex was in 1997. I finally realized--after years of therapy, years of alcoholism, years of drugs, and years of relationships with women even sicker than I am--that physical love is off limits for me. It's simply not an option.

Whenever I had sex, it took me back to being raped by that man. Worse, it made any deep emotion feel filthy. Being raped by a man corrupts you forever. There is no "recovery." You are sentenced to a half-life, in perpetual dusk. There is no light at the end of the tunnel. There is no salvation. There is no mercy.

You can't have children, because they make you feel dirty and evil. You can't touch anyone, because it feels like penetration, debasement, humiliation, and that sweet, sickly sheepishness that all rape victims experience.

Strong emotions make me sick; love makes me sick. But it's a natural human need. Therefore, I'm cut off from humanity. I'm not quite human, and I never will be. I long for that which makes me sick.

It was simple denial that make Paterno and everyone else not take action. "How bad could it really be for those kids?" they asked themselves.

Well, it's death. It's a living death. The scary thing is, if there's an afterlife and I go to heaven, what will be different? If I'm still the same consciousness, the same soul, how will death be an improvement? What if I'm emotionally crippled this way for all eternity? What if I'm this bereft and empty forever?

People still don't quite get what this is about, especially for males. Don't feel sorry for Paterno. He's had a great life. Some of us had our lives stolen from us before we got to experience anything good.

Art is helpful. Although I'm not religious, this is one of my favorite songs. I hope it's true.

In PA you are legally obligated to report child abuse within 48 hours of witnessing it or are subject to 90 days in jail and a 200 dollar fine.

Ben...I wasn't aware of the PA law.  My wife is a CLSW in NJ.  About six years ago, we found out that a long time family "friend" was pedophile who had victimized my daughter, my sisters, his own daughters and his grandchildren, as well as potentially many others.  Members of his family did not wish to bring the matter to the police, as some members of his family believed the accusations were questionable.  My wife, due to her profession, is legally obligated, and could have faced losing her license if she did not report the scumbag to the police.  She did not personally witness any abuse, but, due to the disclosures made to her, she had a legal obligation to inform the police.  What I'm saying is that, even if Paterno did not personally witness the child abuse, there are certain professions that are required to report even the disclosure of such information to the proper authorities.  I do not believe that the next rung of the chain of command of a college football program qualifies as the "proper authorities".

I know that Paterno should be held accountable for a lot of this, but is he the only guy on campus who knows how to dial 911? Why did the graduate student witness a rape of a 10 year old and think 'jeez, I better talk to the coach' instead of 'I need to call the police NOW'? He should be taking the brunt of the anger out there but ,so far, he's the only one who hasn't been fired from his job at PSU. As far as I'm concerned, he could have ended this with one phone call, and countless lives would have been spared. Instead, he took a pass and tried to let others handle this problem, even thought he was a f*cking eyewitness. The lesson here? If you see a child getting raped, then either kill the rapist or call the police. Is society so f*cked that some people don't know what to do when they see a child in danger? God help us all. Sorry for the rant. Anyway, the eyewitness to the crime in the shower still, as of now, has a job as a coach at PSU, but everyone else got fired. Jesus...

Sometimes, my fellow Americans, I don't understand you.

 

Let me explain something to you.

A seventeen or eighteen year old person is on the cusp of adulthood and having voluntary sex with another person, male or female, is quite different from a 60+ year old person having sex with an pre-pubescent 10 year old boy. This is a boy who doesn't have functioning sex organs, isn't mentally capable of understanding sex let alone what the natural role of sex is in human life. A child who isn't mentally capable of understanding what it means and how it will affect them for the rest of their life.

If you can't see the difference. I don't know what to say.

good luck in life. I hope it works out for you, but I have my doubts.

His life was horribly fouled up -- booze, drugs, etc. Eventually he came to realize that he had suppressed being repeatedly raped by a man when he was a young boy. By the time I knew him he was a happy father & husband, one of the most peaceful and kind men I've ever known. When he told me what he had been through I was absolutly floored.

He found his healing & peace in Christ. Peace with himself & peace with what he had suffered -- he'd be the first one to tell you that. I'm not trying to convert you, but I am saying that there is hope out there for a "normal" life if you want it. He found it, I assume you could too.

169 Saw the highlight clips from the debate. Missed it due to an event in NYC for a partner. Can we call Perry "toast" yet? He really has had his 15 minutes, and its time to move on. There's no possible way this guy could win against SCOAMF. He'd look so bad next to SCOAMF he'd make SCOAMF look merely like a SC. Can we also ... please ... stop with the liberal hosts? Please? And the candidate baiting? Or maybe thats part of the liberal hosts. Asking Romney whether or not he'd fire Cain as CEO based upon Cain's response ... Romney handled that well. Cain looked nervous before that. I want to like Cain. I really do. But from what I am seeing and hearing, he really has no interest in policy, has a super huge ego, and is full of himself. Isn't that what we have now? Newt I like in debates. He's just not a leader type. Did I mention Perry is done? Romney doesn't excite me. Getting rid of the SCOAMF does excite me. I see nothing that suggests that Romney would not be up to that task. Cain is over, Perry is over. One of these makes me unhappy, but such is life.

184 The Admin needs to suspend the program. NCAA can't give death penalty until facts are known. The argument against shutting program down is based on the idea that a few people's misdeeds shouldn't affect all the innocent athletes, students, alumni, etc. Well I say BS. The AD, the univ president, the head coach, and the guy in charge of the campus cops all knew something was up. And did zero. If that is not evidence of "lack of institutional control", then nothing is. It is a sad fact of life that sometimes, people pay a price for something they didn't do. Your taxes go up due to govt misspending. You have to go through a fucking pain in the ass security screening in airports due to 19 insane jihadis. I could go on and on.... Kill the program.

He may have been freaked out, but whatever. What a f*cking lame excuse of a human being. And I'm not saying this to excuse anyone else down the line who punted on their responsibility to address this issue once they knew about it. I'm pissed because an immediate 911 call may have allowed police to collect DNA evidence from inside a 10 year old boy, and this POS coach could have been jailed, thus preventing as many as 6(?) other molestations? I want that eyewitness hung by his balls. Or, at least fire the f*ck, since he's the only one involved in this mess who hasn't been fired. This is just unbelievable...

Hey, joe, ask that kid how he felt and how he was treated.

It's too bad this happened, he was a professional coach of the game but not a good role model and not a good citizen and NOT A GOOD MAN.

HE threw those 46 years in the shitter for someone he didn't even like because why? I can only guess he thought it would reflect on him and put him out of a job. Or that Sandusky knows things that could get him in trouble (no I'm not accusing Joe of sex assault. It could be any thing. Sandusky was in a position to know about things that weren't on the up and up and there's ALWAYS something.)

So he let someone be victimized and let the possibility of more victims to protect himself (and the University) from scorn or worse.

It is my estimation that the entire Penn State Athletic Department and the entire coaching staff will be replaced. But the state of Pennsylvania will pay those men and (few) women quite a lot because of their public employee unions.

I'm not trying to convert you, but I am saying that there is hope out there for a "normal" life if you want it. He found it, I assume you could too.

The thing about rape is that it affects everyone differently. We're born with different abilities to handle trauma. The same acts perpetrated on different people will have different results. I was an infant when it began happening, and it lasted for years.

I appreciate your comment. I posted my own experiences in order to let people know that these crimes will often create psychological and emotional damage that can't be overcome. That's why Paterno's reaction is so terrible. People don't like to think this is true, but some of us who experience this will simply never recover. We try everything, and nothing works. There is no peace to be achieved. The best we can hope for is distraction.

As I said before, I'm not religious. When you've had so much taken from you and have spent so much of your life in bondage, sometimes it becomes impossible to submit to anyone or anything, even God. I've never been able to give myself to a deity in the way required for the acceptance to be sincere.

That's the problem: Some of us just can't give of ourselves, even to God. The damage is too severe. It's like sociopathy or psychopathology. No amount of counseling will change a sociopath or a psychopath. They have different brains. I'm sure that my brain is different, due my formative experiences. The question that haunts me is whether my soul is different, too. That's a frightening prospect. It's in the hands of God, if He's out there. He must decide what happens to me after this life is over, because I've gone as far as I can with what I have.

But thank you for the post.

Llarry. Thanks for the thoughtful response.

But please remember, you were created in the image of God. Nothing will ever, ever change that and nothing can ever take that away. Moreover, there isn't a single human being alive that is capable of submitting his soul to God without the intervention of His spirit.

225 Ben-

The Pennsylvania law requiring persons who come into contact with children as a result of their employment to report suspected child abuse appears to require that the responsible reporting person immediately call the relevant child protection authority and follow up with a written report 48 hours later.  But lower-level employees seem to only be required to "immediately" report their suspicions to the "person in charge" of their "institution, school, facility or agency."  The law also states that "upon notification, the person in charge . . . shall assume the responsibility and have the legal obligation to report" the suspected abuse to the child welfare authorities.

That probably explains why the graduate assistant and Paterno aren't being brought up on charges for failure to report.  I'm surprised the President of the University wasn't charged, though.  He was made aware of the 2002 incident - and the buck ultimately stops with him.

I've got a pet theory about why McQueary hasn't been fired yet (he's the former GA, now Wide Receivers coach for PSU who witnessed the 2002 rape in the shower):

 

I think it's part of Joe Paterno's punishment.  He doesn't get to clean up his own mess.  They're going to bring in outsiders and fire EVERYONE. 

 

Either that, or McQueary's testimony is needed to convict Sandusky for raping that kid in '02, and he cut a deal to give him a little more time with a paycheck before the axe falls.  Because, based on the actions of everyone involved, I'm starting to think that he's no stranger to "making a deal" regarding his employment status.

Posted by: Russ from Winterset at November 09, 2011 09:35 PM (/MEFr)

229 Wasn't Penn State the institution that whitewashed the hockey stick investigation?

Also Paterno just passed Eddie Robinson as the coach with the most lifetime wins at a major university.  I guess it is just a coincidence that all of this comes out now but PSU certainly did everything in its power to forestall the day of reckoning while Joe Pa pursued his little record.

Last point... when did our universities become completely populated with idiots and the dregs of society?  From OWS, to rioting over a pedophile enabler being punished there seems to be no level below which this current generation will not sink.

Llarry, it's not your fault, and eventually I pray you can find peace.  God give you peace man, it should have never happened to you or anyone.

Firing them now...This was the only recourse, because Everyone of those people failed. JoePa knew there was an investigation prior to Sandusky getting the privileges to facilities where the abuse occurred. What is wrong with the people who don't get that?
 I admit, I wrestled with damning the man's illustrious career, but the bottom line is that 8 young boys were abused and who knows how many more at the Second Mile, so if you aren't doing the right thing, you deserve what comes. Period.
Any of you still protecting JoePA, why? For all his power, he could have stopped it and chose to look the other way by giving it to officials who also did nothing...Therein lies the shame. Actions will always bring consequences. And yeah, I give JoePA about 6 months. He will die of a broken heart.

Well said. It's tough to have something like that thrown at you, but sometimes you have to man up and do the right thing, right then. I'm surprised he's still there and can't imagine he will be for long. I think the Trustees went to the top and rolled those heads. They will probably continue right down the chain and make a clean sweep. Maybe McQueary and anyone else down the food chain will be given the option to quietly "resign". And the rioting students - I think as they get older and more mature, they will look back in shame on their behavior.

He doesn't.  He's lived his adult life as a coach in a very protected atmosphere.  I have alot of family members that played or were coaching staff in college football.  Especially at the big univesities it's a world of its own.  Most people in it do realize there's a real world out there but someone like Paterno has probably lost contact with that.   Why else would he encourage or at least respond to those disgusting rallies in support of him?  This doesn't excuse him, it just shows that he really doesn't care, he's lost touch with reality, he's senile, or all of the above.

Looking at all of the available data, Joe clearly didn't do enough.  I wish he had.  He wishes he had.  But he didn't.  Children were savaged because of it.

I am a Penn State alum.  I am not Schultz or Paterno.  I'm certainly not Sandusky.  I'm so deeply saddened that these children were abused, taken advantage of and raped.  I'm so angry about it too.

I'm heartbroken that the place I thought was so magical wasn't, and the people I thought were better weren't.

282 I've been thinking a lot about McQueary, too, and asking why he didn't do more (such as contact the police directly).  Here's my take:

He played QB for Joe Pa.  He had been an grad assistant and then an assistant coach.  He had become a part of the inner circle of the PSU family.  Let that sink in.

Then, one day, he sees one of the pillars of that family raping a child, on campus, in the showers.  I'll assume that he was unaware of any previous evil done by this man.  Think about how shocking it would be to see a family member or someone you trusted/loved/respected doing the unspeakable, in an institution that was part of your bedrock.

First he goes to his father, and asks him what to do.  Then he goes to Joe Pa, his "godfather", and tells him he had seen something very bad.  (It seems that how much he told Joe Pa is open to debate).  I think this guy was absolutely shaken to his core, and did not know what to do.  He figured if he told Joe Pa, HE' D know what to do!!  McQueary just wanted it to go away.

I am not trying to excuse the inexcusable here.  I am trying to explore what his mindset MIGHT have been.  And I think this mindset explains the actions of the PSU kids who were rioting.  Their god had fallen off his pedestal, tainted by unspeakable evil.  Rather than try to wrap their heads around their new reality, they lashed out, trying to hold on to the bedrock crumbling beneath them.

An isolated institution combined with an equal amount of extreme loyalties can become a very unstable mixture when exposed to very bright light...

Indeed.  The last provision of the Pennsylvania child abuse reporting law protects those who report suspected child abuse from being fired or discriminated against "as a result" of  reporting it.  As I said before, the law appears to allow lower level staff members like the graduate assistant to report to their boss instead of directly to authorities.  Arguably, it could apply to Joe Paterno as well, but he's high enough up in the food chain that there should be a legitimate question about whether he could absolve himself from outside reporting responsibility by telling his superiors.

Again! You are wrong! Get a clue and understand what a Gran Jury Testimony is. Do some reading...use your brain!

Joe reported to his superior immediately:

"Paterno called Tim Curly, Penn State Athetic Director, and Paterno's immediate superior, and reported that a graduate student had seen Sandusky "fondling or doing something of a sexual nature" to a young boy"

"Approximately one week later the graduate student was called to a meeting with Curley and Shultz and reported "anal sex" by Sandusky with a young boy....Paterno was not Present at that Meeting." 

"Shultz was called into a meeting with Paterno, where Paterno told him of "disturbing and innappropriate" behavior by Sandusky with a young boy"

You can claim that it was Paterno's responsiblity to phone State officials all you want, but the fact of the matter is that Joe did take the proper actions. Joe did not witness any acts himself, and he used the proper channels within the organization to report the incident....this is typical has been confirmed of other situaitons in other Universities!

Good decision finally from the trustees.

As another suspicion regarding Paterno and McQuery:  the AD, VP, and President aren't stupid. They can't enact their cover up without explictly knowing that Paterno and McQueary will go along with it. Otherwise it's suicide for them to try and hush it up. There had to be some kind of an agreement among at least these 5.

As for Sandusky, once they let Sandusky slide in 1998 or perhaps on some other incident, Sandusky would then have had powerful leverage over all of them. It could explain (*not* excuse) why they then continued to cover up for him. After making a deal with the devil, they found the devil wanted to keep doing business.

Not that this story requires one more thing to become even more horrific and strange, but I hope that investigators keep an open mind and leave no stone unturned. Would it be that much more implausible for there to be more than one offender involved? Its not likely, but at this point, nothing should be ruled out. How could  McQueary's react the way he did?

That sick ass pedophile running a charity for 'at risk' kids he was praying on for 30 years. I'm sure we'll never know the full extent of what he's done.

But there are some rumors now that this bastard Sandusky was whoring out the little boys to other wealthy pedos in exchange for donations.

Whatever else may be yet to come - or not - I'm sure we haven't heard the worst of it and probably never will.

Sandusky should do the right thing and kill himself. He should have done it 30 years ago.

Paterno is an old old guy. If he falls down and breaks his hip or has a heart attack, I sure hope no one waits a decade to call 911.

Are you Stupid?

"There had to be some kind of an agreement among at least these 5."

Where is the evidence for this? This is Slander!

"It could explain (*not* excuse) why they then continued to cover up for him."

Sandusky no longer had a job with the Team within a year. He retired in 1999 after he was told he would never become Head Coach....by Paterno in person. Paterno, Shultz and Curley were not aware of the Child Protection Agency investigation done in 1998 after similar accusations had been made against Sandusky...Why? Because the police did not make them aware of it, nor did Child Protection Services....why? Probably because the there was not enough evidence, or the victim's family did not want it in the public forum, Yet you blame Paterno..........Unbelievable!

"How could  McQueary's react the way he did?"

There are conficting reports in the Grand Jury Testimony. McQueary claims two different reports, and so does Curly and Shultz. The report actually states that they believe Curley and Shultz testimony is not "crediable."....Yet you blame Paterno, even though he is the only one out of all of them that will not be indicted....Unbelievable!

If you are going to cover up something, which appears to most as exactly what happened, you can't do so (unless you are an idiot) without knowing that the two other players (Paterno and McQueary) are on board with it. Yes, speculation, but a reasonable one. What isn't speculation is that the AD, VP, and Pres couldn't have gotten away with what they did if either Paterno or McQueary had made even a slight effort.

Yes, I know Sandusky retired in 1999. What of it?

I blame all 5 for allowing Sandusky to continue. I blame Paterno specifically because in his own words, he was told  that "something of a sexual nature" occurred in the showers between Sandusky and a 10 year old, or if you believe McQueary, Paterno was told that a 10 year old boy was anally raped. Whichever of these was the case, Paterno's actions should have been the same. I blame Paterno for taking care to do just enough (at best, the legal minimum) to allow Sandusky to continue raping. Give it a rest. Outside of helping in the actual raping, what more could Paterno have done to insure that Sandusky could continue his evil? There were opportunites every day for 7 years (2002-2009) for Paterno to make amends. He waited till he was questioned in a grand jury.

Paterno has not been idicted...yet.  IMHO, he is getting a pass because of his age and position.

But you go on being proud of Paterno's actions. Stop kidding yourself.

302 That's the problem: Some of us just can't give of ourselves, even to God. The damage is too severe. It's like sociopathy or psychopathology. No amount of counseling will change a sociopath or a psychopath. They have different brains. I'm sure that my brain is different, due my formative experiences. The question that haunts me is whether my soul is different, too. That's a frightening prospect. It's in the hands of God, if He's out there. He must decide what happens to me after this life is over, because I've gone as far as I can with what I have. But thank you for the post. Posted by: Llarry at November 10, 2011 12:33 AM (e7bui) ~~~~~~~~~~~ Llarry, I cannot begin to imagine the pain and suffering that you have been through. I will only tell you this and pray to the Good Lord that it takes root in you and spreads. Your soul is not different! God has given you your soul and only God can alter it! Your soul is you and you are loved by God! He knows the pain and suffering that you have been through and He groans at your affliction and He wants you to let Him in to heal the pain. I am not trying to preach to you; I am simply offering you the truth that God is love and letting you know that your soul is in God's hands and no thing or person can change it. Let God give to you. I deeply pray you believe this and that it gives you peace.

303 Penn State must do the following. 1. Fire everyone associated with the football program and erase all mention of Paterno and the others from campus. Statues, road signs, names of buildings, posters, whatever! Erase them the way Stalin erased those he had executed. 2. Burn the football facilities; who would want to go in there now, and place a new ACADEMIC building on the site - say an applied physics building (my kinda place!). 3. Get out of college football for at least 100 years. 4. Provide counseling and education for all the victims and there families for life at Penn's expense. Penn State is now Pedophile State! To Paterno and Sandusky and all the rest who did this or covered it up: May God have mercy on your souls and may you be placed in the general population in prison. A lot of hell on earth would be good for you . . . .

306 Just about everyone in power at Penn State is involved.

This raping of 10 year old from a none profit organisation for underprivileged youths was well know throughout the campus to Penn State.

I hope Lucifer is preparing a special place in hell for these perverts, a place where they can sit and have the flames and hammers of Hell placed on them endangering them to an inch of their existence.  Then extinguish only to reignite when they feel able to burn these perverts.

Rot in hell Penn state, you all knew what was going on and enjoyed it. You are all involved and Lucifer will be waiting for you tonight.

309 so now penn state gets all bothered about mistreating kids. let us not forget that penn state was the vanguard in jamming the boner of politically correct speech and thought up the ass of every student on campus. the bd of trustees can kiss my ass.

310 I don't know what is more repulsive... Pedophilia or the students and fans supporting jopa! This is on him! I just wish the da would arrest him for being complicit.

“Your legal obligation IS to report crime. period.”

Â… but you see, the entire education establishment has been conditioned not to do this.
Just ask them what would they do if they found out there was an illegal alien in their classroom.
