The woman who stood up to Joe Paterno

By Ann O'Neill, CNN
updated 2:44 PM EDT, Sun July 15, 2012
(CNN) -- Vicky Triponey knows all too well the power Penn State's late football coach, Joe Paterno, held for more than half a century over the insular slice of central Pennsylvania that calls itself Happy Valley.
She experienced firsthand the clubby, jock-snapping culture, the sense of entitlement, the cloistered existence. It's what drove her five years ago from her job as the vice president who oversaw student discipline.
She was told she was too aggressive, too confrontational, that she wasn't fitting in with "the Penn State way."
She clashed often with Paterno over who should discipline football players when they got into trouble. The conflict with such an iconic figure made her very unpopular around campus. For a while, it cost Triponey her peace of mind and her good name. It almost ended her 30-year academic career.
Another person might have felt vindicated, smug or self-righteous when former FBI Director Louis Freeh delivered the scathing report on his eight-month investigation of the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal. But Triponey sensed only a deep sadness.

Ped Staters love to always remind the rest of us 1. They are academically superior 2. Never had an NCAA violation 3. JoePa did it the right way 4. They never cheat like OSU and USC does 5. They graduate players

It all came crashing down this big charade.

Men from the 70s and 80s say they were abused by ‪#Sandusky‬. In one case, Sandusky would have been in his late 20s.

Sandusky starting working with Patarno starting in 1969 - 43 years ago.

If the above is true anybody who needs an email trail to find fault with Joe is pretty damn ignorant.

Sources close to the Jerry Sandusky case say that three men have come forward and told police that they were abused in the 1970s or 1980s by the convicted pedophile.

They are the first men to allege abuse before the 1990s, and if found to be credible, would directly attack the 68-year-old's defense argument that a person doesn't become pedophile in his or her 50s.

Two sources with knowledge of the investigation say police are aware these men have come forward.

It is not known, however, if these men were contacted or interviewed by Louis Freeh's team, which was hired by Penn State to do an internal review of the scandal and the university's response.
