Joe Paterno was an Ivy League man as am I. That background generally doesn't come in useful; as a Texan I am generally a more "get your hands dirty" approach to life and would, under other circumstances, appreciate the Penn State motto: "Making Life Better."
Penn State should have paid a licensing fee to its in-state Ivy League counterpart, The University of Pennsylvania, and used and lived by the Penn motto:
Leges sine moribus vanae ("Laws without morals are useless")
Or my alma mater: Veritas - "Truth." Or even the Yalie Boys' Lux et Veritas—“Light and Truth.”
I don't know what we're going to find if a light is ever shined in every corner. While now-PA Governor Corbett was running for Governor, but was the AG who had an impaneled grand jury investigating Sandusky:
Corbett accepted more than $25,000 from state board members of Sandusky’s charity, The Second Mile, during his gubernatorial campaign last year. On top of that, he accepted thousands more from the charity’s regional board members, according to Pennsylvania Department of State campaign contributions website.His openness to the charity’s board members’ contributions to his campaign didn’t stop there. Corbett also allowed S&A Homes president and CEO Robert Poole, who chaired Second Mile’s board, to hold a small fundraiser for him at Poole’s home in January 2010.
Poole, however, said he did know about it.In his email, Pool said that “to the best of my recollection, I first learned in 2008 or 2009 that authorities were investigating Mr. Sandusky.”
The victims were pre-teen boys.
