The only thing missing in this sad tale is a mistress. Wouldn't it be perfect if Joe had a Starlet and hung out with Bobby Petrino and his Gal pal? They all road Harley's together and attended swingers parties. That would be a great cap stone. Crime, Power, Greed, lies, cover up, Missing DA and Joe with a boner.

I was just thinking a Rick Pitino story would be the cherry on this shit sundae. Maybe even something weird like all of his kids being Scientology sperm bank babies.

Here's what we have so far:

  • The football coach was the center of power in that entire university.
  • Despite making millions of dollars a year, he used a public university as his own personal piggy bank, as evidenced by the fact that a public university was making six figure no-interest loans to the football coach.
  • He had the power to silence the AD and the President who were cowered into silence about a serial pedophile operating within the program and molesting his victims in the facilities.
  • He used the academic side of the university as a dumping ground for former players and ex-coaches who, in turn, reinforced his power base and further degraded the notion of any institutional control over Paterno.
  • He had the power to oust the VP for student affairs when she attempted to put his players under general university disciplinary procedures.
  • According to this woman's husband, he had a well known and well feared fixer who was known as "Guido."
  • He insulated his program from taking part in mandatory Clery Act educational workshops. The law was passed in 1990. The Penn State athletic department's status as of 2012 was an unimplemented working draft that had been "working" for years.

Somebody tell me how this doesn't justify shutting down the program that so utterly corrupted an entire university.

* He perjured himself before a Grand Jury.


Also, as to this Guido character. This is Guido D'Elia - Penn States former "director for communications and branding" (I did not make that up) - who was brought in with Paterno's encouragement to revitalize the football atmosphere. Whiteouts are one of his products.

He wasn't really a "fixer" in the traditional sense.

According to Vicky Triponey's husband, he had an official role and an unofficial role. The latter he described using the exact term, "fixer."

While I won't guess to what degree that role might be ever unraveled and detailed, I'm just as interested in his official role. Apparently, he blatantly--and in full openness--contracted with his own company. I wonder what kind of open bid processes of the state might have been violated in this regard much less the most simple of conflict of interest ethics.

Edit to add:

Here's an article with an independent source.

I always chuckled when I opened the Penn State football media guide and turned to the page with Guido D’Elia’s picture on it.
I wasn’t laughing at his picture. I was laughing at his title.

Director of communications and branding for football.
It might have been technically accurate. But it didn’t come close to capturing the 64-year-old’s role with Penn State football. The man was involved in everything.

And he was a Paterno sounding board for all matters great and small. When you saw Paterno during the season, you saw D’Elia, never more than a few feet away.

WOW!!! Well, there might not have been Institutional Control, but someone was definitely controlling that place.

Nice try. But if you are trying to convince me that Joe didn't kill his own hookers I'm not buying it.

Holy Shit! You just cannot make this stuff up.

In addition, the individual was claiming to assist in the security of a Penn State football player, Petrick said.

Police said they did not know which player the man sought.

Penn State Athletic Department spokesman Guido D'Elia said police contacted the athletics officials several times, updating them on the man's whereabouts and mental state.

Parham said athletic department employees saw the "irrational, depressed and bizarre" man in and around the Lasch Football Building before the Capitol Police contacted local authorities.

In conversations with law enforcement and athletic department employees, D'Elia said Penn State officials were told of the man's bizarre actions and of his claims that he was "looking for Ray Gricar, among several other missions."

Ray Gricar is the former Centre County District Attorney who mysteriously disappeared April 15, 2005, and has been missing since.

Parham said by the time university police reached the athletic department office, the man had already left the campus.

He was in his fucking 80s, man. Sure he liked to watch the light drain from their eyes, but he couldn't hold them down. It'd been a long time since Joe could both hold down a hooker and choke one to death at the same time. You think Joe could get the body into the trunk? Handle the 40lb bag of lime? Dig the fucking hole?

Think, man.

Umm WTF

http://espn.go.com/espn/otl/story/_/id/8166643/joe-paterno-statue-remain-penn-state-sources-saySources: Joe Paterno's statue to remain
The embattled members of Penn State's Board of Trustees quietly have decided to leave Joe Paterno's statue standing -- at least for now and, some hope, forever, according to sources with firsthand knowledge of the trustees' private discussions this week.

The trustees' reluctance to remove the statue is motivated, in part, by a desire not to offend alumni and students who adore the late coach despite the damning findings of his role in the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse cover-up detailed in the Freeh report, the sources said. Some trustees also said in interviews they want to resist being pressured by the media into a sudden decision about such an emotionally charged issue.

"You can't let people stampede you into making a rash decision," a trustee said. "The statue represents the good that Joe did. It doesn't represent the bad that he did."
