Wow just lost all respect for Paterno, if he doesn't resign he needs to be fired immediately.

Was there an earthquake in Oklahoma? I guess after the LSU/Bama game i flipped to the Ok. State game. Afterwards one of the commentators mentioned that they thought they just had an earthquake. At first i thought it was in Alabama cuz I was just watching that, but then realized they were in OK.

What did paterno do? From my understanding he reported everything he knew to Curley, immediately.

It's what he didn't do that's the issue.He should've gone to the police but no he kept him on his staff and the abuse continued.

Aren't you supposed to go to your boss with those situations? You can say he should have fired him but I don't think it's his job to call authorities.

Cmon you don't think paterno has law enforcement connections he should've never let the university sweep this under the rug. The least he could've done was fire him so why did he keep a pedophile on his staff.

I'm not expecting or really campaigning for a re-match....about a thousand crazy things have to happen for that to even be considered...but there is still a lot of football to be played....we're still better than any Big Ten, Big East, Big 12 and Pac 12 team. :twisted:

I hope he doesn't slide on this, this is unexcusable he should've reported this guy to the police. The fact that he kept a pedophile on the staff makes me sick. Joe Paterno is a fucking piece of shit.

From what I've read about the story, JoePa just heard rumors and second hand accounts of what allegedly (a key word, this is still America and that whole innocent until proven guilty thing) was happening, and he immediately reported that to his boss. They didn't report it, and therefore are being charged with perjury. All there is right now is a bunch of rumors and allegations circling around, a little premature to act like judge, jury and executioner, and calling people pieces of shit.

This is fucking nonsense. He heard what he heard from an assistant coach and reported it to his boss. That is exactly what you do in that situation.

As a victim of this crime, I have no tolerance for those who spread this sickness. You just don't report this to your boss...especially if you knew that this criminal was running a charity for children...who he was victimizing...you don't treat a grown man raping children like a employee who is leaving the job early or parking in the wrong space. You just don't pass the buck.

Had Paterno actually seen something, then yes. But he heard this stuff second hand. If anything the person who reported it to Paterno should have contacted the police. Paterno is really just the middle man in all of this. He's an old man who doesn't know shit except for football. Somebody told him a rumor, and he reported it to his boss.

Exactly. He didn't know anything, he heard something. I agree that this is sickening, but he heard a rumor and told his boss. He is in a much higher position than I am, but if I heard something like this in the workplace, it is my responsibility to tell my boss/HR. Could he have done more? Possibly. But you can't really say he is a scumbag for the way he handled it.

I am not taking this situation lightly either, it is a horrible horrible thing and if true, Sandusky deserves to spend the rest of his life rotting in prison but Paterno heard a rumor and told his employer. And keep in mind Sandusky was NOT an employee of Paterno at the time or a coach, he was already retired. It was the schools responsibility to figure this shit out, not Paternos.

It seems the focus of this revalation has shifted to the wrong place. Should be squarely on this scumbag and perhaps the cops. 3 year inquiry? WTF? This is a slamdunk at this point. Just hope they dont take a plea deal and this guy gets the max.
