Joe followed school procedure and reported to the athletic director what he'd been told. Saying he covered it up is revisionist history. Should he have done more? Yes. Cover up? No.


Correct, Joe did it by the book and reported it to his boss, the AD. Did Paterno do the bare minimum? Yes, but he at least did that. It disappeared though when the information reached the AD and school president’s office. AD Tim Curley and Penn State vice-president Gary Schultz were found guilty of child endangerment. Paterno was not.

Alabama murdering Logan Young


I thought ‘TennesseeStud’, Tennessee booster Roy Adams, or the mob had Logan Young killed.

Adams and Young had a longtime bitter hatred of each other. And the federal racketeering case against Young spooked and angered the mob and made them think Young might rat on them.

Those were always the main theories discussed back then.

Both he and the AD agreed not to take it any further. Absolutely he covered it up.

Joe Paterno was a thousand times more powerful than the AD. If he wanted things to go a certain way, that's the way they went. Hiding behind the AD's skirts is excuse making.

There is absolutely no evidence of this.

In 2003, Carlton Dotson, a former Baylor University basketball player, pleaded guilty to killing his teammate

It's inherent in the situation. He didn't want to believe Sandusky was capable of such things. He didn't want to become embroiled in it. So he did nothing but report it to the AD and then washed his hands of the whole thing. And it's come back to tarnish his reputation irrevocably, regardless of what you guys choose to post on here.

What did Joe Paterno know and when? And what did he do about it?

Most high profile? Easy.

The allegations in the article you posted were dismissed as anecdotal.

Which means he wasn't charged with a crime, but that's not the same thing as being innocent.

Like 5 years ago or so an A&M player hacked some jogger to death with a machete. He’s currently locked up for murder.

OJ…for parking ON THE STREET in his tony Brentwood neighborhood after he “didn’t murder 2 people”. No class at all.

OJ Simpson was the most high profile case for sure.

Ray Lewis probably should be in prison for murder.

Didn't the guys he was with admit they were the ones who stabbed the guys but claimed self defense.

Did not make major news often, we big Football fans knew about it but the publicity on the OJ case was insane so it is not even close. Nothing is...even the insane actions of Aaron did not get close to the O.J. Simpson case.
