Yes we would probably kick Sandusky in the nuts till he bled and then wait for someone to see the blood in the hallways but

Regarding Joe Pa - What happened to innocent till proven guilty

1. What if he were told that it was handled and taken care of? He probably was old school enough to believe that.

2. Do we know that he was not lied to - that Sandusky went to some crap treatment or whatever BS psychological crap they pull for these things.

3. The man is close to a senile 85 now and 75 then - chances are high that he really really didn't pay attention once it was out of his hand/mind.

4. I don't know if these blustering old timers really understand child molestation as anything other than spanking.
Does that mean it is an excuse - No but probably the man really wasn't thinking of worst case scenario or couldn't even envision it.

Maybe I am completely wrong and he knew but I have a tough time accepting that a standup person like Joe Pa was complicit in this muck - makes the whole thing sicker than it is and makes the world a gloomier place.

You can go listen to even some of his very latest press conferences. He's not that stupid or out of touch.

From what I understand... Paterno was told by the GA what he saw Sandusky doing. Paterno told his AD. AD said he will take care of it. Sandusky still on staff like nothing happened after caught molesting a 10 year old boy. You don't see the problem here? If you were Paterno, you wouldn't be thinking, "Why is this fella still on our staff and not in prison?"

how do you know he was standup? do you know him personally?

btw, a ton of people that know Sandusky personally are in complete shock right now because they always thought he was "a standup person."

This bro, your looking at it one eye closed. Jo knew something, whether it was the smallest detail, that in itself should be enough to not have Sandusky represent your program. IMO

I've tried to rationalize this along these lines all day because I liked JoePa a lot, and it just doesn't hold up. The guy was informed that a child was raped on campus by a member of his staff, and not only did he not follow up, be kept working with him for years, even despite it being pretty obvious everyone knew this guy was a very bad actor.

fricking JoePa of all people...
