like it was said, he was spotted buying soft pretzels hanging out on campus last week? what do you think he was doing that FOR free? I think he was fine financially.

Well sure he was fine financially. Doesn't change the fact that it doesn't really make sense that he would quit just for no real reason, especislly directly after the charges

[mht]

there are plenty of reasons for him to "retire"

i just explained them

Sandusky Is Rumored To Have 'Pimped' Boys To Donors

[QuikTrig]

i understand the paterno outlash but jesus christ. it's as if people forget who the hell scumbag sandusky even is.

at work today, two of my attorney's, who aren't huge sports fans, were talking about the PSU scandal and about how the coach was fired. one brought up sandusky and the other said "who?".

this is bigger tha paterno. people need to lay of him and just be pissed off, in general. i feel like he's getting more flack than the guy who actually committed the crimes

Thank you for saying it for me. NCAA should stay out of this shit. This isnt a program problem, it's deeper than that.

Well, if it's true that Sandusky was "pimping out" kids to boosters, can't the NCAA technically get involved?

Edit: I'm brilliant, I should have just enlarged it. Points for being right though. w00t.

First off, the word boosters was never mentioned. Neither was who the donors were donating to. Penn State or Second Mile?

No. Disagree so much. The fact that he didn't contact the police or even follow up on the incident is disgusting. He didn't deserve the 'dignity' of retiring.

Question 1: Why were no criminal charges charged in 1998? At all? With no law stipulations attached to it?
Question 2: If Second Mile was notified in 2002, why did Second Mile keep him on for 6 more years?

that is all for now.

[domotime2]

as for the joe paterno issue...it's settled. he's fired. we can go back and forth about if he should've been fired NOW or fired on Monday or in January...but its over. Of course we can forever argue about his "legacy", long after the man passes on. But we can move on and talk about bigger things now. The Joe-Pa angle is a AMAZINGLY HUGE sports story, dont get me wrong. But now we can focues on the AMAZINGLY LARGE real-life story instead. The gap between 2002-2008.

I read an article somewhere that had the word "boosters" in it when talkingbabout the pimping out of kids. I'm not saying it's true or anything...but if it is, could the NCAA get involved?

99% of reports never mentioned boosters
