This will be the really interesting stuff. The cover-up is always worse than the crime. In this case probably not. Still, it should make for some really interesting tv! :tongue2:
Lying to a Grand Jury.
Secret files.
Fed investigation.
Legendary coach tainted by association with Second Mile and developer.
Do I hear the making of a tv movie? A book or two?

Penn State releases statement on Sandusky trial: June 22, 2012

Today Penn State learned that a verdict was reached in the case of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania v. Gerald Sandusky. Mr. Sandusky was found guilty of 45 of the 48 charges filed against him.

The legal process has spoken and we have tremendous respect for the men who came forward to tell their stories publicly. No verdict can undo the pain and suffering caused by Mr. Sandusky, but we do hope this judgment helps the victims and their families along their path to healing.

The Board of Trustees and current administration maintain a steadfast commitment to pursuing the truth regarding Mr. Sandusky?s actions. While we cannot change what happened, we can and do accept the responsibility to take action on the societal issue of child sexual abuse?both in our community and beyond. The University is committed to ensuring that our campuses are safe for children and to being a constructive participant in building greater awareness of child sexual abuse and the practical steps that can be undertaken to prevent, report and respond to such abuse.
The University has already established a confidential counseling process for victims of Mr. Sandusky?s conduct, and that process remains open. (For further information, please visit http://live.psu.edu/story/58590.) While counseling is critical, some victims have sought and continue to seek a direct dialogue with the University to discuss the University's responsibility for Mr. Sandusky's actions
Now that the jury has spoken, the University wants to continue that dialogue and do its part to help victims continue their path forward. To that end, the University plans to invite victims of Mr. Sandusky?s abuse to participate in a program to facilitate the resolution of claims against the University arising out of Mr. Sandusky's conduct. The purpose of the program is simple ? the University wants to provide a forum where the University can privately, expeditiously and fairly address the victims' concerns and compensate them for claims relating to the University. Counsel to the University plan to reach out to counsel to the victims of Mr. Sandusky?s abuse in the near future with additional details.

For as long as I am fortunate enough to live, whenever I hear the words Penn State I will immediately think of a university that enabled and covered up for a child rapist who destroyed the lives of an unknown number of young boys. I have a feeling I am not alone in my thinking and as much as I hate the domers, I would gladly trade Penn State for them. I would also trade Penn State for a bag of baseballs and make the bag of baseballs the new member of the Big Ten.

I agree but when you said baseballs..I was thinking of treating Sandusky as fowl as he deserves.

Wonder how much that $1.8 billion endowment is gonna be drained...

Looks like the judgments and settlements in the various Catholic Church cases have been all over the board in amount:

The higher range of settlements seems to be in the $1.5M per victim range. So far there appear to be fewer than 20 Sandusky victims but it seems likely that quite a few more will come forward.

But, CAN the Ped State endowment be used for such purposes or is it restricted for other purposes?
