The Blue Board

Still amazes me that some of you think that the NCAA hires their staff right out of high school.

There was purpose behind what they did and the timing of it, just like there is purpose and timing how the FBI has been handling this situation.

Penn State can only hope the NCAA is finished with them.

The big news is that people at Second Mile were close to PSU? I'm pretty sure that is widely known. Second Mile was started by Sandusky. And PSU players, coaches and administrators donated their time and money to support Second Mile over decades. And some of the PSU board members also sat on the Second Mile board. That is the big news?

Maybe it has? I have known of cases that have taken Years to come out

Have you ever even been to NJ or you just have watched some TV shows that are horrible representations of the state?

I've been all over the state and joke about the smell (and it does have a distinct odor in certain areas) but, as is true of all states, there are some truly nice areas. A client of mine is in Pittstown. The owner has a beautiful home on a nice piece of land. You would be hard pressed to find anyone unwilling to live where they live.

Shrug uninformed or obviously biased statements off and remember what it feels like when reading similar remarks about other states.

I'm curious and at work so send it my way too.

I was talking to msnbama...not sure what you r talking about

The victim himself who claims to know the whole story says that Second Mile is the problem. I'm just passing that along.

Indeed. If there were politicians on in the cover up they need to be exposed. Corbett? Perhaps?

Nope. And neither is the Penn State admin or JoePa.

What I can tell you is I know for a fact that the NCAA pressed PSU in negotiations in private with Erickson along with advisors from the FBI. The BOT was in fact given limited info to prevent leaks and some BOT members were not invited for a reason. Which is why they were so pissed and talked about an appeal. The NCAA and PSU had a goal to get the sanctions handed out before fall camp started and definitely before students returned to avoid riots and lewd behavior from a larger mass of confused/angry 18-22 year olds.

The FBI has been working on this for almost 18 months from my understanding - how I know this is because some of my friends who work at PSU were questioned by the FBI as far back as summer of last year. My friends are just staffers an professors so I am sure they were not interviewed first.

Also - back in fall of last year - 8-10 vans were parked outside of "the second mile" office on Atherton and there were federal agents taking boxes of files and computers out of there. Sandusky's home was seized at night and all his files and personal computers were taken. Amendola was pissed because he had to work with scanned copies of files and complained that he was in an unfair position to defend his client because the prosecution was light years ahead of him and because there was so much info - he requested more time to properly prepare a defense. The main reason he did not put Sandusky on the stand is because he felt the prosecution had more info than he had and would get pummeled. The judge denied his request.

Many PSU fans complained that certain figures at PSU were never interviewed by Freeh and this proved his report to be worthless. The fact is the Attorney General prohibited Freeh to interview certain "people of interest" because they did not want it to jeapordize what the Feds were working in. Case in point - when Freeh was poking around Spanier questioned what was going on and immediately filed a suit to retrieve all his email history- he and his attorneys met with the Feds and he backed off.

Mad Dog (radio guy) started to report about a child sex ring and the connections to the second mile and Sandusky. All of the sudden he shut his mouth and PSU fans were saying it was because he was full of shit - but actually the FBI advised him to put a sock in it as they were already investigating it.
