re: Penn State knew Sandusky was a pedophile in 1971.

Sandusky was also investigated by the school in the late 1990s.
They knew, and they kept him on campus....and a lot of people think he was just one part in a ring of two or more predators.

Sandusky, 48 counts of child sexual abuse.
Paterno, knowing and covering it up. He died shortly after, so nothing being pursued.
From what I read, Sandusky was mysteriously fired the year after he won National Asst. Coach of the Year. However, after being terminated, he was still allowed to keep an office, and given the keys to the facilities. It was there that he raped many of the victims. He held some type of football camps for young kids, and would bring them there to show off his access. Then, he'd rape em.
Paterno tries to swear he didn't know it was going on. But it's pretty clear to everyone, except Penn State fans, he knew, but didn't want to ruin his reputation, or hurt recruiting, so he kept it quiet and hoped it would all just go away eventually. He was on a quest to become the winningest coach in CFB, and he wasn't gonna let a few child rapes get in the way.

The Second Mile....a charitable organization headquartered in State College and founded by Sandusky in the 1970s. It focused on helping disadvantaged children around the state without a father figure.
Sandusky met all of his known victims through the organization.
Unbelievably fricked up.

Did anyone mention that his step son has come forward and admitted the he was sexually abused by his "dad" for years?

Penn State isn't your typical state university in that they are "state affiliated"...getting a limited amount of funding from Pennsylvania...
the entire bureaucracy of the University is its own kingdom and Paterno was the undisputed kingmaker within the system...
I'm waiting to see when the entire nepotism within the Paterno family comes out to the full extent...let me put it this way, would you expect to hear Les Miles' brother on the LSU radio broadcast team?

Classic has 1979 Pitt @ PSU on now, with occasional shots of JD stalking the sidelines (literally).
Those teams used to beat the hell out of each other.

Sandusky was a predator for decades, using his position and charity to prey on vulnerable children without a father figure in their lives. He raped dozens of young boys, including his own step-son.
Joe Paterno knew about it, to some extent, for decades and did nothing about it.
Penn St. knew about it for decades and did nothing about it.
However, the current players and students had absolutely nothing to do with it. The administration has been completely gutted and restocked. The football staff as well. I don’t get why we’d punish them for this. Their fans are Paterno apologists, but you can’t punish a team for their fans ignorance.

John Brady, his staff and his players had nothing to do with Lester Earl, but they were punished for it. The fact is that any time the NCAA hands down major sanctions it will impact numerous individuals that had nothing to do with the underlying infraction. It's a punishment for the program/business/entity that benefitted from such infractions.

PSU is definitely an odd environment. Hell, Paterno's son keeps trying to get coaching gigs around the country and every is trying to keep their distances from him. I don't blame them.

Trump wants Joe Paterno returned to Penn State.
I'm hoping that he means the statue.

It is horrible that JP turned the other cheek when he knew this was going on. But you would think that he would have at least had the mind to tell Sandusky to never , ever, ever show his face around College Station again, much less, give him access to facilities. Even if he would have told JS to disappear for good, he would have knowingly sent off a pedophile who he knew would just take his act up somewhere else in America. Yet he didn't bother to go that far. He allowed him to use the facilities. Paterno did nothing to prevent JS from continuing to molest boys and actually enabled him. He has zero redemption.

There are instances when your entire life comes down to a single moment. Joe Pa at some point knew what was going on and did the bare minimum. When they asked him, he did denied it all and did nothing. He made his own legacy.

A. PSU football was severely punished for it. And it had been 10 years since he was even a coach there when this all came out. I doubt LSU would have been as strictly punished had Lester Earl revealed all of that 10 years later and after the coaches who gave him improper benefits had long since retired.
B. We kept the same AD and all administrators from that NCAA infraction.
I'm not saying they shouldn't be punished, but to do it AGAIN and HARDER? Seems useless. If they had caught this actively happening and Sandusky was still coaching there and it was being covered up? Jail for everyone and terminate the program for a decade.
But sadly, that's not how this happened.

not condoning the death penalty for SMU in the 80's but to me paying recruits is much different than the people in charge allowing children to be molested and/or never making sure he was brought to justice in the beginning...condoning that to me is as bad as the act itself
