ah business insider…the blog founded buy a guy accused of fraud. i guess if your glass house’s windows are already shattered, you can throw as many rocks as you want.

Penn State (the university who wants to cover its ass) hires Freeh
Free does “research”
“Research” pins blame solely on ONLY those who were already implicated of wrong-doing.

What doesn’t make sense about this line of thinking is that the Freeh report doesn’t necessarily paint Penn State in a good light. The university hired and employed corrupt people, who enabled a child molester. I don’t think anyone really reads the Freeh report and comes to the conclusion that Penn State “looks okay.”

To: He’s the mastermind

Not the mastermind, just the figurehead. Repeatedly, Curly, Schultz and Spanier emails refer to “Coach” when deciding what to do about the 2001 incident and how the 98 invistigation was going.

behind a vast criminal conspiracy to protect the university and the football program.

I wouldn’t call 4, maybe 5 people, a vast, but don’t let that strawman stop you. Oh yeah, Schultz changed his mind about going to the police after “talking it over with Joe [Paterno].”

Nothing gets done up there without Joe’s approval, he had to know exactly what was going on.

Another strawman for “nothing”. I’m sure when Matt Millen gives his advice on recruits, any sane coach wouldn’t bring that to Joe. But his former defensive coordinator diddling children might be something that JoePa, paragon of the “Grand Expirment”, might want to be aware of. At least a low-level assistant at the time thought so when he went to Joe’s house on a Saturday.

Obviously, like most things, the truth is somewhere in the middle.

Just like everything in life!

What really needs to happen ASAP is the Curley or Schultz trial. Rumors are circling that Curley is in bad shape (don’t forget – he has lung cancer as well). Schultz may be able to defend himself by pointing the finger at two deceased individuals if a) the rumor is true and b) this delays much longer.

hey judas…make room, youve got a new roommate in your circle of hell.

He’s the mastermind behind a vast criminal conspiracy to protect the university and the football program. Nothing gets done up there without Joe’s approval, he had to know exactly what was going on.

There was no masterminding or vast criminal conspiracy going on. He had a coach who was raping kids on his watch and he convinced the higher-ups to sweep it under the rug. You don’t have to make it through a whole half of football without shitting your pants to accomplish this.

The one thing I find amusing in all of this is how quickly public opinion has swayed from: Paterno is a doddering figurehead on the sidelines – look at him – he has no clue what’s going on, etc.

It could be both. He’s been pretty doddering for the past few years – but these events happened more than a decade ago. Having seen it with my grandfather recently, you can lose it pretty quickly.

as long as public opinion considers him an overrated california raisin of a coach, im cool with it.

Nice.

Now lets be adults about this: are you seriously telling me that Freeh has overturned every stone and chased every sing lead? There is not the slightest chance that this was a report built to a specific conclusion? There is seriously no one else at all involved in any of this or guilty of any wrong doing? I find that a little hard to believe, and maybe so do JoePa’s relatives.

counterpoint: they did turn over the stone that proved paterno was covering up for a pederast. not sure there’s a 2nd shooter here brah.

How very Truther of you.

If a kid that was raped sues the school, then maybe, with somebody that can serve a ton of depositions, then maybe you gets some better info.
