Would Paterno be alive today had the scandal not broken?

I say he would be alive and would be very happy coaching PSU.
A sad situation in two different ways - the fact that he could be alive and also that he would probably have been perfectly happy knowing he could have stopped Sandusky from doing what he did to those kids.

Yes. Cancer is directly caused from public embarrassment

I pray that if I ever get cancer, it's at the ripe old age of 85
Posted on 1/24/12 at 2:43 pm to siliconvalleytiger
So you're saying he in a sense killed himself?
Posted on 1/24/12 at 2:46 pm to siliconvalleytiger
I've been saying for years that the only reason he still coached was because he knew he would die if he ever stopped. Like the Bear. Obviously, both deaths are coincidental to their retirements.
But are they?

The scandal didn't cause the cancer but it had to affect the course of his disease.

does not compute.
JoePa didn't do anything about Sandusky for nearly 10 years. McQueary told him about the shower rape in 2002 and JoePa didn't do a damn thing about it. Who knows if he knew about it before 2002. JoePa's otherwise spotless legacy will be forever tarnished because he put his football program over the safety of children.

no way, lung cancer is lung cancer regardless of whether or not this situation broke out.

Yes he would be alive today. No doubt in my mind.

I forgot that Cancer was used to punish our sins. Hell it ate my grandfather alive, I wonder what kids he was poking.

Without a doubt in my mind, he would still be alive today. Those who have experience with the sick and dying know how powerful purpose and routine are in a person's life. As of yet, science has not quantified such factors, but it makes a difference.
