“A case can be made that Paterno shouldve done more when given the evidence, but he did take it to Penn State authorities. THEY were the ones that sat on it. Nobodys accusing Paterno of perjury, unlike the Penn State president, who was called out by the grand jury for lying under oath.”
No he wasn’t. Only Curley and Schultz were indicted for perjury.
My only knowledge of Graham Spanier’s character was when I read about him coming down like a ton of bricks on a faculty member who tried to censor a student’s controversial (anti-Palestinian terrorism) art display. He came across as a straight arrow then because he stepped in and did the right thing.
The presentation was canceled. Spanier stepped in and said that it could be presented sometime the next year. It was never presented.
