No way Paterno survives this if he knew.

How in the world is Paterno not responsible? He reports it and the AD does nothing. At that point, shouldn't he report it to the police? He witnessed, or heard about, a felony. Why does his responsibility end with the AD? I don't get it at all. How is he exonerated?

I think what happened is that the prosecuting attorney gave him immunity if he agreed to serve as a prosecution witness. That is how Paterno saved his own hide. PATHETIC

He met the bare minimum legal requirement, he told his superior.

As a person though, he is absolute scum. He makes guys like Rich Rodriguez and Nick Saban look like saints compared to him. He deserves to have his legacy ruined for this.

Forgive me if this has been posted, but here is the link to the actual grand jury findings.

I've read a lot about Victims 1 and 2. Victim 4 shocks me. Apparently he was listed as a member of Sandusky's family party at the 1998 Outback and 1999 Alamo Bowls. It begs the question, was he asked whether any contact occurred during these trips?

he told the AD but the AD sat on it. That is why the AD has perjury charge

when I stated this I didnt know any of the facts I know now and its Horrific. Joe must go now

That little impromptu pep rally at Joe Fail's house last night just confirms what an arrogant, self-serving sonofab!tch the jerk really is.

If he or that coward ginger are at the stadium Saturday it will be an affront to basic human dignity.

I think it's a bad move to have the ginger and JoePa coaching on Saturday. Even though a lot of PSU folks will be loyal to JoePa, I would imagine that there would be a pretty strong contingent of PSU supporters who agree with your viewpoint on this.

Additionally, the national perception is important here, and I think many would feel as you (and I) feel.
