I know no one likes to think about it, but people can and do accuse others falsely about things like child abuse to ruin a career. One false accusation can ruin a person's life and reputation unjustly. He followed the chain of command and it bit him in the ass. I doubt he will sleep soundly ever again knowing how this turned out. But I don't think he knew what people think he knew and I think he acted appropriately with the information he was given. I repeat, he did what he could have and he is being blamed unjustly. He will burn for another's mistake, but I stand by him. If more information comes out I may change my mind. But until then, my mind is made.

The failure to report it to someone outside of the Happy Valley chain of command (which is BS because everyone knows Joe is no. 1), isn't even my biggest beef. JoePa ALLOWED THIS MAN TO REMAIN AFFILIATED WITH HIS FOOTBALL PROGRAM. Even past retirement. This man continued to use the facilities and the program to continue his disgusting hobby. Sandusky was on campus as recently as last week (or the week before, can't remember exactly which).
Your blind faith towards a sports figurehead is exactly the mentality that allowed this kind of crap to happen in relation to this program for years.
