Re Joe Pa's control over the town & university, go back to that period when he was having players arrested right & left, over several yrs, and his response, on a national tv interview was " this is my football team & to me, city & state police have no juridiction over them". He ran that town & university & to say he had no knowledge of the complaints against Sandusky back then is beyond the realm of believabilty. The local press, after he died, came out in several articles mocking that BS. When Sandusky was let go, and he was, Joe Pa released a very generic press statement, as did the athletic department. This for a highly respected coach with yrs & yrs of service to the university & community. BS that Joe Pa did not know anything. A great coach? Yes, of course. But how would you feel bout him if it was one of your sons who was raped & abused in that time period when he knew but did nothing but pass it uphill?

If he really had that much control, the Board of Supervisors wouldn't have thrown him under the bus so quickly when the scandal went public.
