This kid was in a no-win situation from the beginning. If he goes to the authorities with this way back when, he's probably in the same spot he is in today- hiding and being protected. I'm not defending his actions (or, rather inactions) but all of this McQueary focus it taking away from much bigger things at play here.

Hell no he wasn't. The only reason Penn St. tards are freaking out is because this involves their football and Joe Pa. Sandusky was already retired so if McQueary goes to the cops immediately it mostly takes Joe Pa out of the equation. Their fanbase wouldn't care if a retired assistant coach went to jail. If anything he'd be looked at as a hero.

I have thought this. I have a buddy he was a GA then restricted earnings coach in college (not at a Penn State level). McQueary was screwed. Wonder how old he was at that time? Total no win situation. He was in a dream situation I assume to be a GA at Penn State has to be a tough gig to land, and a long line of guys waiting to take your spot.

HTown is right. This takes away from the story. You can't judge the man in his mid 30's who is WR coach at PSU now. He WAS just a mid 20's guy caught in an "OH frick" moment. I like to think I would handle it better, but I don't know. Mid 20's in my DREAM job I may have just not wanted to rock the boat, and when he told superiors he thought his hands were washed.
