When this first broke he was so arrogent and refused to even let callers discuss the POSSIBILITY that Paterno knew about any of this.

that JoePa is being made a scapegoat becasue he's no longer around to defend himself.
One thing is for certain, this report will open the flood gates for a wave of civil litigation against Penn State and the Joe Paterno estate.

is if you had done anything at all this wouldn't have happened to me....it's amazing these guys didn't snap out of this Paterno haze and make rational decisions that they knew could come back to hurt them and the school.
"In order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at the university -- Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley -- repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky's child abuse," the report said.

I wish he was still around to stand trial. Guilty or not (likely guilty) I'd like to hear his side of the story and what could've possibly been going through his head to make him make those decisions.

so many years developing. He was more concerned about it and his legacy than the kids. Fairly obvious.

Paterno knew full well how damaging this would be if it ever went public.

I don't think Paterno ever even remotely envisioned the magnitude of the problem and the number of children victimized by Sandusky. Of course, part of that was becasue he largely ignored the problem and did very little, if anything, to find out.

investigate to see what the full extent of the problem was...they merely hoped it would be a confined incident.

When does NCAA step in? Sounds like lack of institutional control to me, at the highest level. This case should become top priortity (2nd only to coot scandle) and sanctions should be handed down.

Administrators. Paterno is the only one we are talking about. But make no mistake, this is very damaging to Penn St.
