Why not put 100% effort into the investigation to get everyone who is/was involved questioned/prosecuted.... In the grander scheme of things, HIS job seems a bit secondary.

Penn State's 32-member Board of Trustees is composed of the following: Five trustees serve in an ex officio capacity by virtue of their position within the University or the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. They are the President of the University; the Governor of the Commonwealth; and the state secretaries of the departments of Agriculture; Education; and Conservation and Natural Resources. Six trustees are appointed by the Governor; nine trustees are elected by the alumni; six are elected by organized agricultural societies within the Commonwealth; and six are elected by the Board of Trustees representing business and industry endeavors.

Interesting he has been on staff for 33 years But I'm sure the BOT vented him properly on the child sex scandal that went on. smh

But if she admitted to knowing and doing nothing (which is what Joe Paterno admitted), I would feel similarly about her as I do Joe Paterno. I don't know what her job is, but I would say without hesitation that any involvement she has with the charity should immediately cease. And there would be no reason to respect her regardless of what good she may have otherwise done.

If it turns out that others - board members, coaches, university personnel - knew and not only ignored it but celebrated the guy or helped to enable him, they should be removed from the position as well. You act as though our not knowing anyone else's involvement means that Joe Pa is being singled out unfairly. The reason there's enough to internalize how we feel about his actions/inaction is because his own sworn testimony indicates that he knew enough to constitute more action. Other than those who have already been removed (and the assistant coach who should also be removed), we can't arbitrarily say this or that person should be fired.

Bradley just said, "McQueary is scheduled to coach on Saturday, it will be a game time decision on whether he's on the sidelines or in the press box."

Also, Bradley had some knowledge of the 2002 incident apparently.

FUCK YOU FUCK YOU FUCK YOU PSU.

There's one other possibility here, and I hate to even bring it up. McQueary grew up in State College and was a kid who had contact with Sandusky. It could be that he was also a victim of the man and is being given a break, even though he has not (yet) publicly acknowledged this.

Unless there is some mitigating factor here, though, the man should have been fired with Paterno.

A Harrisburg civil attorney who has been advising some of the alleged victims of former Penn State defensive coach Jerry Sandusky released a statement today about the board of trustees action last night firing coach Joe Paterno.

"The board of trustees got it wrong. They should have consulted the victims before making a decision on Mr. Paterno," Ben Andreozzi said. "They should have considered these victims watch TV and are aware of the students' reaction and may not want to be associated with the downfall of Mr. Paterno. The school instead elected to do what it felt was in its own best interest at the time. Isn’t that what put the school in this position in the first place?"
