Joe didn’t know or he would have stopped it. Anything else is a lie. When Sandusky was coaching, there was an investigation, early on, by the authorities and it turned up nothing....so Joe moved on. The local and state authorities found nothing....so there wasn’t anything for Joe to do. You can’t fire someone over a rumor.....especially when two different entities investigated the situation and found nothing. Then when McQueary thought he saw or heard or whatever he experienced, Joe turned it over to the authorities.....as he is supposed to do. Follow the law. Sandusky was already retired by then. The facts support this as he was not charged while others were. He never really liked Jerry or Jerry’s involvement with the Second Mile charity.
Paterno is an easy scapegoat for the uninformed. Shame on Free Republic.
I agree 100%
I went to Penn State but the Paterno cultism blinds people to see the facts. All of this happened under Paterno’s nose and he did little about it. We need to stop the denial.
