Anonymous Coward User ID: 4747964 United States 11/06/2011 07:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.boards2go.com] I was born and grew up in State College--lived there until I left for college at U of M. Mom, dad and both sisters are PSU grads--I'm the black sheep. In about 1965, as I was leaving for Ann Arbor, JoePa moved into the house directly across the street. My younger sister babysat for his family and was a HS classmate of Tim Curley at State College High. Last Fall, she and her son--who was considering attending PSU--sat in Curley's suite for a home football game. Mike McCreary is also an alum of State High. These are good people--who just did the wrong thing. It's very hard to understand how it all happened but it did. You can say a lot about JoePa--nepotism, arrogant, stayed way too long, etc. but the fact is he coached at a very high level for a long, long time and did it without the slightest hint of a scandal. And I doubt there has ever been another football coach who gave $5M to his school's library. There is a lot of this story yet to come out. There are a lot of other young boys involved. Some big squeezes in SC will be pulled in as someone gave a Cadillac Escalade to the mom of one of the boys who was molested to keep him quiet--the boy wrecked the car. The Second Mile, a charity with a ton of good works that Sandusky founded, is going to be pulled in and investigated. In 1998, a year before he left, PSU knew that this was going on. I'm told his pay was cut in half to force him out--this to a guy who was probably more responsible than anyone else for PSU's tremendous defenses and success on the field--but he wouldn't quit. So the next year they forced him out. Joe attended his retirement dinner and spoke for less than a minute--for a guy who had been his key assistant forever. There is just no way JoePa didn't know. As did Graham Spanier, and a whole lot of others. But Sandusky was allowed to keep an office at PSU and had keys to many of the sports facilities. Why? Absolutely unbelievable. I think they just wanted him to go away and hopefully stop abusing kids. But that's not the way this stuff works. BTW, JoePa is still at PSU as he raises a ton of money annually from the older alums--they love the guy. And PSU wants to be in their wills. Supposedly, Joe has made it very clear that he stops campaigning for $ the minute he is no longer the head coach. And he wants a secure position for his son JayPa and knows he is gone the minute Joe leaves. |

Has the world lost their minds? He should have been arrested the very first time anyone found out about it. At the first hint of it. This crap needs to stop with all the power mongers that abuse innocents - including the Catholic church. |

If you really love your kid, raise him yourself, don't send him to a public school system or let him be involved in any activity you aren't participating in as well until he's 13 or older and can defend for himself. It amazes me how brainwashed parents are. |

You have only 3 possible answers to that question: (1) you didn't WANT to know (2) you didn't CARE to know (3) you're a moron. We know you're not a moron, so that eliminates #3 - and 1 and 2 make you look like an enabling fool. These are the options you could have done: 1. Call Sandusky to your house - and beat his a$$ - this guy was/is a life-long friend. You didn't think to pick up the phone and say, "what the blank is going on here??!!" 2. Call the authorities yourself - when you want something done, you have no qualms about breaking the chain of command. But alleged child rape? Nahhh... 3. Find out who the victim(s) were and make sure THEY were okay 4. Follow up on what you told your "bosses" (Curley and Schulz) 5. Reach out to officials at Second Mile 6. Launch your own investigation to make sure no one else was impacted by this man 7. Called the university president yourself 8. NOT recommended Sandusky for another coaching job (UVA) LEGALLY, Joe, you are innocent - you "played by the rules" of law and did the bare minimum. Morally, ethically, and humanity-wise, you FAILED AT THE HIGHEST LEVEL. You enabled an 'allegedly' sick beast to continue his nefarious debasement of young, disadvantaged and therefore vulnerable INNOCENT CHILDREN. When I come back for Homecoming - yes, I am a PSU grad, met my wife there - do I take pictures of my sons standing next to your statue???????? Yes, you did what you were had to do, but did you do what you were SUPPOSED to do? NOT EVEN A CLOSE CALL ... We thought you were different. |

Great post, has even more meaning since it comes from an alum. Hope that other like minded alum follow through with calling for a thorough investigation and for those found to be involved to be removed. Sadly, I think that before this is all done there may be many more victims and possibly more sickos involved. Sandusky's charity needs to be thoroughly investigated as well as all those involved who had one on one access to these children. |
