Quote:How did he not act immediately? What was he supposed to do?

 

He was well aware of the allegations going back to 1998, and he did little or nothing about it.  He allowed Sandusky to retire quietly, but never reported the incident to authorities despite the fact that Sandusky was using his charitable endeavors to basically pick his victims.  The guy was a predator.  A lot of lives could have been saved the pain of what this animal did if this icon would have simply done something like report the incident to police.

You don't really know what he knew and didn't know.  None of us really do....and he said it all before he died, he should have done more.

 

The Freeh report pretty much lays out what Paterno knew.  He probably wasn't involved in  covering up the allegations, but he sure as heck didn't do enough by his own admission to address them. 

 

Sorry, but I know there are some here who love Joe Pa.  His legacy is tainted by this incident.  But, in the end, what's most important to PSU and their fans?  Getting those wins back.  Sad.
