That presentment is a work of fiction as it claims Mike McQueary witnessed a rape in the shower. Mike McQueary never testified to any such thing. It was also suspiciously leaked to the media in a manner to attract more victims and also spurn outrage (which it obviously did).
I firmly believe that Linda Kelly’s AG office is going to be in some real hot water over that document before all this is said and done.
I do not pretend to follow Pennsylvania law. All sorts of people are mandated reporters that do not fit the ‘thought of’ as typical. Why are you trying to protect men who encouraged a win at all costs attitude to pervade PSU? With Paterno, Sandusky is nobody.
I guess I don’t understand where this myth that PSU had/has a “win at all costs” attitude towards it’s football program.
For years they have been a model program - even used by the ncaa as a model for other schools to emulate. They graduate 80% of their players and are the only division 1 school to never have had a major violation.
PSU has always been proud of it’s football program - and ALL their student athletes. But certainly never more so than any comparable school.
As far as protecting TC, GS, and GS - I simply don’t think they did anything wrong. In hindsight, sure you can say if they’d have done this, then that wouldn’t have happened, etc... But not at the time, given the information they were provided.
This is a very emotional issue, and I think they are paying an exorbitant price for that - especially when compared to the local and state agencies, as well as the second mile itself - who truly failed those kids (and continue to to this day). JMO of course.
