Joe Pa needs to go to prison. What if it was your child? He knew and didn't call authorities? He calls admin. Cover up!!! It's called Conspiracy!!!

That's a bit strong. He did everything he was legally required to do.

Plus we don't know if he reached out to Sandusky or not. It's very possible that he personally contacted him and reprimanded him privately. Lots that we don't know.

I don't condone Paterno's actions, but I also don't think we know the whole story.

He may have walked a fine line and avoided any legal charges, but he should be held to a much higher standard.

Is there any doubt that every member of that coaching staff knew what was going on? You are talking about a group of people that spend nearly every waking moment together. I can't fathom how this was kept secret.

The head of their Board Supervisors (or whatever they call it up there) should fire the President, the AD, all of the AD staff and the entire football staff.

There may be some innocent people get hurt in doing that, but since when has Penn State cared about innocent people getting hurt.

That would send a national message that they are serious about taking control of a scandal that some people are calling the biggest to ever hit college athletics, and maybe higher education.

1) Sandusky wasn't working for Joe at the time of the 2002 incident.
2) Curley was trusted and Joe's boss. Schultz was the head of campus police. If anything Schultz should've brought in the state police.

He did exactly what was mandated. Should he have continued to follow up with authorities? He certainly could have. It's not his fault that Curley (his boss and a guy who had been AD for 9 years at the time of the incident) and Schultz (head of campus police) didn't take it outside.

I watched a show on PCN last night that had attorneys here talking about it and they all thought it would be very difficult to get the charges to stick on Schultz and Curley based on how the statute is written. As for Sandusky...........he can burn in hell if he's guilty. He was one of our greatest coaches ever and he used his status to abuse children. As an alum I'm beyond sick that our university is going through this. I feel the worst for those kids.
