Here's my theory, and I'm stickin' to it. The NCAA always knew Paterno was a fraud and his "Grand Experiment" was a myth. They knew how he manipulated graduation rates. They knew that his AD didn't have a compliance department and didn't report any Clery Act requirements. They knew the story behind the ouster of the Student Affairs VP. They kept it quiet because Paterno served a massive public relations service to them.

Every time an SMU or Barry Switzer scandal broke, they threw Paterno out to the public as a counter-story. Every time a fedex package full of cash from Kentucky to a recruit burst open on the conveyor belt, they threw Paterno out there as a counter-story. Every time a Fab Five or Reggie Bush or Tressel were exposed, they threw Paterno out there as a counter-story. But all the time, they had plenty of information on how things really went down in State College. When the Paternos went to war with them, they went full Dean Wormer and dropped the big one during discovery, and the Paternos crawled back into their hole rather than allow the real truth to be exposed.

Paterno created the myths but Spanier was the one most responsible for putting that narrative out there. Through his time on the infractions committee and the close personal relationship he had with Emmert & Ray he was able to put the entire PSU athletic program on a pedestal as some shining example for everyone else to follow. So when all that shit went down in 2011 the NCAA felt like they had been deceived and it's most likely the reason they lowered the boom on psu even though they were conflicted on the potential optics of overreach. The truth is had any serious investigative journalist with access to the program done some sniffing around they would found many of the hidden truths we now know about.

You are doing it wrong.

If you just keep drinking you don't have to plan when you are going to go to sleep.

I knew @Saw31. I posted in the drinking thread with @Saw31. You sir, are no @Saw31.

I would argue that Spanier was just following Paterno's orders, like when he wasted millions of dollars in university resources to fight a lawsuit to keep Paterno's salary secret. Of course, humble old Joe had nothing to do with that. He and Sue were too busy holding study sessions at their house teaching players Greek philosophy.

Paterno kept in the background because Paterno being this humble Christ-like figure who NEVER, EVER sought out the publicity was a fundamental part of the Paterno myth. Behind the scenes, I have little doubt that Paterno was intimately involved in creating and spreading the myth of Paterno. That fucker was a master con man, and he would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those damned kids.
