You don't thin that just maybe people on this thread might have been talking about Paterno and Spanier (notice the references to a guy who vowed to make Penn State "Homosexual friendly" and who wrote his doctoral dissertation on "Wife Swapping" - those refer to spanier) might be talking about Paterno, Spanier, and those under them because that is the topic of the article?

And you don't think that the reporter who wrote the article didn't focus on Sandusky because (I know this is a new thought for you) he has already been arrested and charged and is awaiting his trial by the justice system...whereas Paterno and Spanier were still running a major institution as if they had done nothing wrong?

Did you just stumble onto this story for the first time today?

In the lands of the Commonwealth that's actually normal. Details of accusations can be published about anyone (subject to the laws of libel). However, once they are arrested, it becomes sub judice, and public comment must cease to avoid influencing any possible jurors.
