The Blue Board

Why not get real about the actual facts? Schultz was NOT the Head of Police. He was the VP of Business and Finance. Those job responsibilities include the offices of Physical Plant, Human Resources, University Police, Investment Management, Auxiliary and Business Services, Corporate Controller, Legal Services and Commonwealth Campus Business Operations, as well as lead financial, endowment, business and administrative activities at all Penn State campuses. It was a dotted line with his primary job role to advocate and protect university finances, not running the Uni Police. He didn't wear a uniform, a badge, nor drive a police cruiser. Telling Schultz was not the only option nor was it the same option as notifying police authorities.

I am still waiting for Penn St fans to admit that Paterno would have acted in a completely different manner had the victim been one of his own grandchildren. Knowing that to be the case, it is quite clear that Paterno, as well as many others, turned his back on THIS victim because it was an at risk child.

Here is the bottom line...

As long as Jerry Sandusky didn't rape any children of the "Penn State family," Joe Paterno couldn't have cared less.

LOL...espn?

Anytiome i witness a horrific crime, my first thought is to go to the police. Naturally my 2nd thought is go call up ESPN, the moral authority in this world.

I am rolling with you. Put the dog down. A bullet is cheap, but only one use, a rope is can be re-used on other child molesters, drowning with water is free. Either works for me.

Back in the day they used to have a death penalty by "crushing". Put the person down on a stone slab, put another stone slab on top of him/her (usually used on witches), then piled stones on top until the offender was crushed to death.

Those Puritans were freaking brutal.

Sounds like a plan to me, tell me where to sign to help get this going?

Sure did take good care of that whole Bernie fine thing

I upvoted you for the first time ever. I feel dirty.

Have you read the testimony today? At all? If you don't see that the reason this thing never got to where it needed to go is because of Curley and Schultz, I don't know what to tell you.

It's like going to the police and tell them that you needed to report a crime... then after you were done, they threw whatever testimony you had right into the trash. When you inquired about it later they said "eh, we looked into it and there wasn't enough there." That's what happened here. It's pretty obvious.

Yes I get it. You feel ESPN wronged your school and have a agenda against them.

My point is that if the cops aren't doing anything, you call the media. ESPN is the biggest sports media, and the Bernie Fine situation aside, if the winningest coach in the history of college football called them and told them that a former staff member was boofooing little boys in the shower, they would report it. And even if what Penn State slappies are claiming is true, that the Penn State police were covering it up while Joe Pa was valiantly trying to bring down Sandusky, their hand would be forced.

Joe didn't see Sandusky do this to anyone. There is a HUGE difference between the two.

As for being a PSU slappy, I'm saying that at minimum, the AD and Head of the PSU police F'd up. In essence, PSU f'd up and is paying the price. I don't know how that makes me a "slappy". All I am doing in here is defending Joe because, honestly, he is the only one in this whole incident that did the right thing.

JoePa did the right thing, to a point. If Spiderman taught us anything it is that with great power comes great responsibility. He had the power to stop little boys from being raped by a monster, and he failed.
