    I can't beleive they even considered it.

    It would have been better to field questions because this is only going to get worse.

    He should not be given the dignity of a resignation.

    And he should not be at Seniors' Day this Saturday.

    He is a disgrace. He knew something. Sandusky went from heir apparent to "retired" a year after the incident, and Joe thought that was enough. Shame on him.

    Your right!!

    How many times could Go (Joe)Pa say, "I did what I legally was supposed to do...." I suspect that he would collapse under the assault of questions....it's still the coward's way out

    I agree with that HE KNEW SOMETHING and makes you wonder why this guy just retired in such a short time after the incident.

    Apparently McQueary wasn't the only one who actually witnessed the abuse. The grand jury report lists an account in which a janitor saw Sandusky performing oral sex on a boy as well. He went and told his supervisor, who told him how to go about placing a report if he wanted to, but that incident was never reported either. Seems like a whole lot of people knew what was going on and no one stepped in to stop it.

    The Board of Trustees apparently have some guts among them.

    Looks like it.

    I am in shock at this entire situation. My grandfathers 100th birthday is next Wednesday, I couldn't be more upset for the guy. There are not many people in this world that are as close to Penn State and the football program as he is, which is a major reason I have had the opinions I have had recently. I am speechless.

    ESPN is reporting a ninth victim has come forward....met Sandusky through the charity, the Second Mile Program.

    Thanks, man. We do too. It's rough. I just can't believe this and I can't imagine what he's going though. He has known a lot of these people for a long time. Not something someone that age should have to deal with.

    I guess it's the right move. Although if Paterno is done, Spainer sure as fuck better be done too.

    True....don't throw him out there, especially if the Board of Trustees is working on his exit. JoePa needs to reach out to the victims with his wallet now.....therapy ain't free and the pharmacy does not give those anti-depressants away for free.

    I can't recall a college sports scandal this disgusting. I've been turned off of college sports for a few years because of the stupid scandals that come out every year, but this is a whole different level entirely. I don't understand how nobody involved could report these allegations to the police. What reason could the people running that place have had for allowing him to continue running camps there even after they determined that he was a problem and why did they ban him from holding camps on the main campus but allow him to hold them on the school's smaller campuses? Did they think he wouldn't find the kids living near the other campuses attractive enough to assault? It's enraging to think about.
