Shocking.

It would've been downright pitiful to see JoePa barraged with question after question about this. I can't say I blame the President.

Agreed. No way he can talk about anything besides the upcoming game with all the potential legal issues and lawsuits coming their way. If he really wanted to talk about Sandusky he has completely lost his mind.

Curley's lawyer, Caroline Roberto, said on TV last night (saw a clip, no link) two things about Curley (paraphrasing):

1 - He had no legal responsibility to report the incident, as he wasn't covered by the statues requiring it.

2 - Even if he were, he fulfilled that responsibility by doing what also did: he reported it to his superior.

So, who could that be beside President Graham Spanier? According to this PSU organization chart, the Athletics Department reports to Spanier, who is below the Board of Trustees. To see the chart, use the link, and then select 'Univsersity'.

And if AD Curley did report the 2002 incident to Spanier, why is Spanier not being charged with not reporting the incident to the Pennsylvania state police?

Congrats on not being legally responsible, Curley. :cheers:

Now fuck off and die.

Once the circling of the wagons phase is exhausted, we can expect to fully move into the throwing each other under the bus phase. That will be interesting. Spanier seems like a real weasel, so I'm not expecting any grace or dignity in his future actions.

The BoT has to be planning the ousting of President Graham Spanier.

1 - He signed off of Sandusky having his campus privileges reduced after the 2002 incident. How does he do that without asking why someone with 'emeritus' status is having restrictions imposed on him?

2 - He gave his "unqualified support" to both AD Curley and VP Schultz on Saturday, after they'd been charged with perjury and failure to report sexual abuse of a child.

3 - He cancels the press conference (which is his right), but he does it witthout even having the coutesy to inform JoePa before telling the press.

He's failing crisis management with flying colors.

Even without his bad mistakes since Saturday, the BoT has to realize that they need to clean house by removing the President, the AD, the VP, JoePa, and any of JoePa's assistants that have been around for more than a couple of years, including McQueary.

Great discussion, journalists, lawyer, http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2011-11-08/penn-state-case-sexual-abuse-and-children

But it ends with this disturbing quote: Failure to notify authorities is a misdemeanor carrying with it a MAXIMUM fine of $200.

So as angry as you and I may be, in the eyes of the court it amounts to little more than a parking ticket or a speeding violation. Only Sandusky faces felony charges and appropriate punishment.

Yes but they were charged with perjury in front of the GJ too, were they not? I believe that is a felony.

No way Sandusky's first time molesting a child was to do it in the shower room and sauna at PSU. That seems extremely bold and brazen, as any number of people could have walked in on them at any time. This sounds to me like something that he would have escalated to. I'm guessing he has been victimizing children for years, or even decades and that there are many, many other victims out there.

He was witnessed doing it at least once before in a PSU shower (by a janitor in 2000).

Anyone else see Millen on Sportscenter? He got pretty broken up over it, calling it "disgusting" and said he wanted to "go take care of it himself".

I imagine he feels betrayed like a lot of other people associated with the program do. He's spent years telling everyone what a great place and program it is publicly.

Imagine being a former player, you probably helped steer kids to go play there, and you find out this shit was going on? Pissed off wouldn't begin to cover it.

Saw interviews with Millen and Blackledge last night on the lead-in to the MNF pregame. Haven't seen anything recorded today yet. I cannot even wrap my head around what some of these former players must be going through.

Millen's gotta be thinking back to his playing days and reliving every good-job pat on the butt Sandusky ever gave him, or shower he ever took.

Some thoughts:

No way Sandusky's first time molesting a child was to do it in the shower room and sauna at PSU.

I'm guessing he has been victimizing children for years, or even decades and that there are many, many other victims out there.

I'm guessing the Second Mile Org is a product of Sandusky's molesting ways and his molesting ways are not the product of the Second Mile Org. This is especially slimy to me, because it would prove intent and conspiracy. These things didn't just happen in the spur of the moment...

Joe Pa is lying. You're telling me that when McQueary told him about what he saw, JoePa buried his head in the sand and told him that he didn't want to know the details? No way. Anyone - who didn't already know what was going on and was trying to cover his own ass - would have demanded to know exactly what McQueary saw and would have been outraged by it and would have dealt with it appropriately.

McQueary is almost as big of a piece of shit as the rest of them. The only semi-commendable thing he did was to tell JoePa about it. Washing his hands of the situation after that is pathetic and inexcusable.

I hope there is a special place in hell for him and all of the parties involved who knew or suspected this was going on and chose not to do anything about it.

Or, on the flip side of that, maybe he spent years cultivating his cocoon around himself, building his reputation and the relationships necessary for cover, to get to where he thought that he couldn't be caught, and even if he was, that he could worm his way out of it. He spent years building trust, access, and opportunity. In that way, he is far beyond the typical predator, and may be one of the worst ever.
