The simplest explanation is probably the correct one
It was probably covered up by a combination of inertia and the closeness of Sandusky to Paterno making him hard to out as a pederast
The combination of denial and a desire to avoid an ugly scandal seems very similar to what the catholic church saw happen on their watch

Sandusky has some dirt on whomever Paterno reported the mess to.

OJ McDuffy is on ESPN saying that there were whispers of this when he was at school. I wonder who truly heard this.
I doubt Matt Millen never heard a rumor.

Dude, that is a fricking A list board. I bet those people are pissed.
Marky Mark is probably pissed his bio said "rapper."

all they had to do was turn him over to the police at the first sign of trouble. It would be no scandal. Just one evil man and Penn State doing the right thing. In fact, it may have cemented Joe Pa's legacy as a great human being for being the protector of children.

They kept it quiet and let him retire with dignity after the '98 incident. They knew he inappropriately touched a boy in the shower. 4 years later he's caught in the same shower raping a boy. If it got out that they knew that Paterno and everybody else would have been forced out then.

The boosters of Penn St football and the donators to the Second Mile charity are mostly one and the same. The school pushes boosters to also be involved in the charity.

it is worse now than it would have been then... but it would have still been a grade A scandal
This is a guy who had been with PSU for over 30 years, allegedly a valedictorian of his graduating class, a player, a coach, a coordinator, and the presumed successor to Joe Pa as head coach when he stepped down
And you have to think as the story unravels teh stories of abuse will go back to the 70s or earlier. Yes, it would have been better to get ahead of the story and not cover it up - but no it would not have been a small thing if it was discovered and punished in 1998 or 2002

Second Mile has a dinner about 10-15 minutes from where I live every year and Sandusky is usually there but he wasn't this past year.

Is Sandusky the founder of Second Mile?

how did this cover up get out.

Sandusky was arrested...and the grand jury report released.

Sandusky started 2nd Mile in 1977.

Off campus presser being set up for JoePa per his son. Uh oh....

I'll bet Joe Paterno wishes Matt Millen would stop saying he "knows Joe Paterno" after he said on air that he would trust Jerry Sandusky with his own kids.

The legal department at PSU will not like this.

Sounds like it may not matter what they think, and Joe knows he is out. He has to accept some culpability in the enabling of Sandusky for the last number of years in order to save any part of his image. You think he'll do this?
