This is from Wikipedia "Sandusky is married and has six adopted children.[20] He also took in foster children.[4]"

Very disturbing. This guy should hang.

Everyone who had knowledge of this shite including Paterno should go to prison. 10 years old? What would you do if it were your child?

How could these people work day in and day out with this guy knowing what was going on? Unacceptable.

Bama took a lot of shite for our prudish reaction to the Mike Price incident, however I take some comfort knowing if Bama would fire a head coach over simply going to a strip club, they'd probably send their Nazi Brownshirts in to disappear any child molesters on the coaching staff.

This is the one and only case where I would abandon UA. All the powers were involved in this case and that would be too much for me to handle.

I love Bama football, but UA should come before the football program.

So something like what happened with Baylor's basketball team (when the coach instructed players to lie about one player murdering another) wouldn't make you abandon your school?

No, I think the coach was the only one involved in that case (correct if I'm wrong). Multiple powers covered up this sick deal.

the worst part of this whole deal to me is that they banned him from bringing children to the athletic facilities. They knew what was going on.

And they essentially told him to go rape those kids some where else.

I'm a Louisiana Tech grad and long time LSU fan. I'm familiar with a few of the admins and higher ups at LaTech but none of the coaching staffs. I would think that this would be handled very differently from an admin standpoint. From the University president on down it would be dealt with pretty swiftly. But if not, I would have nothing to do with the school ever again.

I don't know any of the admins at LSU, though I would think Miles wouldn't sweep such an abhorent/pathetic/sickening thing under the rug.

This. Like what is mentioned earlier, the hardest thing for me to understand is how a legend, mentor, coach, fixture in AMERICAN HISTORY could know that something went down, (even if he didnt know how serious in 1998, he knew SOMETHING) let this man be apart of HIS program for damn near another 15 years. Its a shame and that's why I think it would be very tough day and my blood would would no longer have the same color.

It is amazing how icons are reduced to rubble. I used to use Tiger Woods as an example of one of the last ones who seemed to stay out of media hell. Of course, he did it to himself, like all of these human beings. I guess that's the key, they're human after all. Definitely not supporting JoePa and the entire situation - think like everyone else, he and the staff should be gone - but it seems like just about all of the biggest sports heroes are torn down in the end now. And you have to wonder how some of these people, such as Bear Bryant, would be perceived of if they lived in this day and age. But hey, Pat Dye was one of the biggest racists in the history of sports, it's all on tape, yet he's still in the College Football Hall of Fame, so go figure.

I am pretty sure I could not support the school any longer. the thought of what went on at the school everytime i see merch with the schools logo or the like on it would be too muct to stand.

im pretty sure that if it was my kid, id be sitting in jail waiting for trial - cause i'd have killed the SOB.

It really is amazing isnt it? I like to think Kobe before that, one minute your the best basketball player in the NBA, the next you rapist. But I do agree everyone is just human, and its IMPOSSIBLE to know what you would have done in JoePas situation. One things for sure I would have never saw Sandusky at a PSU facility again day one.

Yeah good point. Its just if that had happen under us, with the current head coach and athletic director, and quite a few others, knowing about it, blood would be spilt. I think JoePa may be the only coach in the nation where people would not try and destroy him immediately for this scandal.

I'm more concerned with the dude that walked in on it...I mean the guy just turned, left, and told someone else...how in the frick do you do that after seeing something like that? I would've beat the frick out of Sandusky if I had seen that firsthand. Makes me question humanity if people are that fricked up that they wouldn't do anything in a situation like that



I seriously can't process this. Its just... how the hell wouldn't you do something. That is just so incredibly fricked up. The guy need a bullet between the eyes.

Exactly, and Paterno knew this guy was doing this and yet he, along with the rest of the coaching staff, continued to work with him day in and day out. Imagine that, working next to someone and you know they molest children. Child molesters are sick in the head people and there is no cure. Child molesters will always be child molesters and given the opportunity, they will.

Disturbing movie on the subject: The Woodsman, starring Kevin Bacon. Lets you see inside the head of these sickos.

If this came out the day after AU won our National Title, I'd want Chizik gone.

Yes we would probably kick Sandusky in the nuts till he bled and then wait for someone to see the blood in the hallways but

Regarding Joe Pa - What happened to innocent till proven guilty

1. What if he were told that it was handled and taken care of? He probably was old school enough to believe that.

2. Do we know that he was not lied to - that Sandusky went to some crap treatment or whatever BS psychological crap they pull for these things.

3. The man is close to a senile 85 now and 75 then - chances are high that he really really didn't pay attention once it was out of his hand/mind.

4. I don't know if these blustering old timers really understand child molestation as anything other than spanking.
Does that mean it is an excuse - No but probably the man really wasn't thinking of worst case scenario or couldn't even envision it.

Maybe I am completely wrong and he knew but I have a tough time accepting that a standup person like Joe Pa was complicit in this muck - makes the whole thing sicker than it is and makes the world a gloomier place.
