Seidenberg testified this would have meant the player would lose his Penn State scholarship so Franklin could offer it to another player during the upcoming offseason.

The reason he retired is Paterno told him he would never succeed him as head coach. Access to Penn State athletic facilities were granted by administration, not Paterno. Fact.

Either Joe Pa:

1. Knew and didn't do anything about it, or

2. Was so far removed from running his program that he had no clue that a coach was molesting kids in his locker room

Neither of which are good looks for the guy. All that being said, your staunch defense of him is certainly an interesting hill to die on

Everyone knew. Everyone. There's a reason Sandusky won awards as an assistant coach and never got a sniff for a head job.

Honestly it wouldn't surprise me if Paterno didn't know at that point based on his age and shitting his pants on the sideline during games. But it was still his job to know,

Interesting hill is right. When you use facts, logic, and common sense, and you go against the popular narrative, you expect the incoming vitriol from uninformed sheep.

Oh, and Trump is guilty. China virus was from a wet market. Hunter’s laptop is Russian propaganda. Biden owns four Delaware beach properties based on revenue from book sales, not treasonous dealings with foreign enemies. Tara Reid was not raped by Biden. Ashley didn’t shower with daddy Biden as a pre-teen. I can go on, but I’ll stop before your head and others explode.

Really is a shame how bad politics and the media has broken smooth brained individuals such as yourself. Can't take a differing opinion without spewing political talking point nonsense. Pure ignorance clouded by self proclaimed enlightenment.

frick off back to the poliboard retard

Saban used the medical retirement route all the time to clear a scholarship opening while allowing the injured player to continue school free of charge.


Doesn't that require the player to consent to retire and never play again?

This kid with the mental troubles may want to come back to the field.

A jury Wednesday found in favor of a former Penn State athletics team doctor who claimed that he was removed as team physician in retaliation for complaining about head football coach James Franklin interfering with medical treatment and return-to-play decisions.

A Dauphin County jury in Harrisburg awarded orthopedic surgeon Dr. Scott Lynch $5.25 million in punitive and compensatory damages. Testimony during the seven-day trial included former Penn State players, doctors, athletic trainers, university system officials and others discussing examples of injuries and medical decisions.
