Sex Abuse Scandal Rocks Penn State

Only 1 million??...lol Hell the coach here at ECU makes that. That school profits (yes..profits) 50 million a year on Penn State football.

Here is something to think about. You ever think that Penn State pulls all images or names of Joe Paterno from the campus if its shown he really was involved heavily in the coverup?

Ive heard rumors already of taking his statue down, maybe as a symbolic gesture. I think as everyone digest the severity of what happend and joes role in it students/alumni/school will have a strong desire to separate themselves from his likeness

Thats the base salary. He makes more with bonuses and 'donations' from boosters.

Penn State tragedy: Barry Switzer says Joe Paterno had to go | NewsOK.com (http://newsok.com/penn-state-tragedy-barry-switzer-says-joe-paterno-had-to-go/article/3621872?custom_click=pod_headline_ou-sports)

“Having been in this profession a long time and knowing how close coaching staffs are, I knew that this was a secret that was kept secret,” Switzer said. “Everyone on that staff had to have known, the ones that had been around a long time.”

No doubt they all knew. Which is exactly why you have to fire the whole staff at the end of the year, if not now.

I saw the portion of this interview that was aired last night... I totally commend this student in the middle of that madness. His look is priceless at 0:40, when the guy interrupts him.

If Chris Brown gets community service and Stallworth gets probation then I seriously doubt that Joe Pa goes to jail. They don't just send 85 year old men with no criminal record to jail, never mind 85 year old men that can afford very expensive attorneys. He's more likely to look at a huge civil suit for negligence and if he does get convicted criminally it will be probation.

I agree with you but I was paraphrasing from the penn state neighbor's discussion, and also what I have been seeing on TV.

TV said tonight that two of the charges Joe may face are felonies in the state of Pennsylvania and the violation of the Child Protective Services law can carry a 3 year sentence in jail.

He most likely will have community service / some type of fines, but then again the judge can look how far back joe was covering things up and be stricter on him... I'm not a lawyer so i dont know how that all works.

/facepalm

Penn State Live - Reminder: Penn State to hold commencement ceremonies May 18-20 (http://live.psu.edu/story/24106)


-- 3 p.m.: The College of Health and Human Development commencement ceremony in the Bryce Jordan Center. Jerry Sandusky, founder of The Second Mile, will speak.


Even back in 2007, they were having this child molester speak at commencement. I really hope all involved die horrible deaths. Seriously.

Stuff keeps getting uglier and uglier.

Penn State child sex-abuse scandal: When we had the facts, we ran the story | PennLive.com (http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/11/penn_state_child_sex-abuse_sca.html)


During our own investigation, years later, the mother told us that she had been specifically instructed by state police not to speak with reporters.

No charges were filed against Sandusky in 1998. With the mother cowed into silence, the incident remained buried



It appears from the grand jury presentment that the school’s aim was to handle this report very quietly. They succeeded. No one who had been directly involved talked about it at the time. No one.

Sandusky flaunted the so-called “ban” on his bringing kids to campus — in fact, he held Second Mile camps on other Penn State campuses as recently as 2008. We never noticed any sanctions against the former coach because they didn’t really exist




Sandusky released on bail, judge orders no contact with minors | PennLive.com (http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2011/11/sandusky_released_on_bail_judg.html)


Dude didn't have to pay 1 penny for bail. WTF??

Sorry man, I've been a little testy today. No problems.

It's cool. From your pov I'm sure it must be tough to watch your alma mater go through something like this. It's crazy to think that one of the most iconic football coaches of our time could be involved with something so heinous. It's also crazy to think that on Saturday, for the first time in 46 years there will be someone else coaching Penn State from the sidelines.
