"As a family sociologist, demographer, and marriage and family therapist, he was the founding editor of the Journal of Family Issues.[4] Spanier was also an author of a study in the Archives of Sexual Behavior concerning the practice of mate swapping, or "swinging".[5]"

Hmmmm.....

Joe Paterno fired Sandusky . . . ahem, "allowed Sandusky to resign" in 1999 - even though Sandusky had done excellent professional work and was nowhere near normal retirement age.

I find it hard to believe that anything other than these kind of allegations (the ones initially investigated by the police in 1998) motivated Paterno to cut Sandusky loose from official involvement in the program.

That means that Paterno knew what was going on with Sandusky definitely by 1998.

But even after Sandusky resigned, Paterno remained on the board of Sandusky's creepy charity, he still allowed Sandusky and his victims unrestricted access to Penn State athletic facilities and he still allowed Penn State's football program to promote Sandusky's foundation.

Joe Paterno has enabled Sandusky in his victimization of children for, at minimum, 13 years - and probably much longer than that.

Paterno should rightfully die in prison.

"Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, the school’s vice president for business and finance, were charged with perjury and failure to report the allegations.

Curley and Schultz each face up to seven years in prison if convicted.

The Penn State Board of Trustees announced after a late Sunday emergency meeting that Curley had requested administrative leave so he could devote time to his defense. Schultz said he would step down and go back into retirement. "

No one mentions, buy I want to know about Sandusky’s wife. She HAD to know. All these years ... and they adopted 5 boys!

Sandusky has been ordered to stay away from his grandchildren. I heard that his kids requested it.

You know, data recovery has evolved eons beyond where it was in 2005. Wonder if this thing is still in an evidence room somewhere?

That was my first thought, too.

Here's a couple of interesting items from Paterno's history:

"After serving a year in the Army, he attended Brown University; his tuition was paid for by Busy Arnold.[5]"

and:

There are about 47,000 students at Penn State this year alone. A small number of them protesting. The vast majority of them or alumni had NOTHING to do with any of this.

A small number were protesting in favor of Paterno.

And an even smaller number (zero) were out there protesting for his ouster.

do many people realize that graham spanier,
the psu president who was fired was
a family therapist whose specialty was
in study of mate-swapping and swingers.
written books on it, but don’t know if he
was pro or con! thought that was an
unusual background for college president
not at actual ivy league school.

“As the Sandusky investigation moves forward, questions will be asked anew about why Gricar did not pursue charges against him 13 years ago.”

I’m sorry to admit, but when I couple this article with the other article about the latest “rumor” of Sandusky and the charity making minors “available” to others, I’m getting some VERY creepy vibes about this Gricar guy. Maybe totally unfounded, but what IS a possible explanation for Gricar having PROOF (an admission!) that Sandusky did this in 1998, yet declining to prosecute him? Was he part of the coverup? If that’s possible...then why?

I know. It’s haunting as hell and just about all I’m thinking about for an entire day! And my thinking is imaging why he would be involved in this cover up except to cover his own ass. I’m sick.
