I know someone who died from cancer years ago after a stressful situation. I think the scandal hit him so hard that somethinig in him triggered the cancer to make it worse.
Honestly? I think Sandusky, the scandal and his conscious killed him.
Look...enuff of this "legal" speak!! READ THE REPORT!! Paterno was the most powerful man on that campus!!! HE HAD KNOWLEDGE OF THIS AND DID NOTHING....HE DID NOT FOLLOW UP!! HE LET IT GO, BECAUSE FOOTBALL WAS MORE IMPORTANT TO HIM!! He did only the bare minimum. The minute he saw that Sanduski was not in custody or some inquisiton, he should have brought the heat!! BUT HE DID NOT!!
Sure...he didn't rob the bank! But he drove the get away car!! HE MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR THE DUSKI TO KEEP SCREWIN' LITTLE BOYS!! And how many little boys suffered???? I am sick of the idol worship that gets us all crazy in protecting our so-called heroes!!
Well I hope he made it right with God before he died. Because he sho' didn't do right by all those boys!!
I don't think we all know the whole story..The real wrongdoer is Sanduski...as with most abuse, it goes untold, unreported due to the shame, fear and so on that comes with it...when Joe was told, maybe he should have done more, maybe he took the easy road by letting others handle it but what would we have done? Who knows what he was told by Pennstate? Maybe he really believed they'd do the right thing...we weren't there...
WE KNOW MORE THAN ENOUGH!!
And by Paterno's own damning admission, he knew this Sanduski was a predator. But continued to pass by this scum in the hall way and do nothing on the knowledge he was given! He probably drank a few beers with him over the years....justthink about that for a minute.
I weep for the little boys who had their innocence andmanhood ripped from them! This pisses me off!

That's right, he just kept interacting with this guy like no big deal. How can you ignore what this predator did?! Paterno didn't want to rock the boat and/or didn't care enough about what happened. Shameful.
I think death was kind of an out for him, like when people who commit crimes die before doing much prison time.
Easy to can an old man (and really everyone involved) when you have child molestation charges blanketing the program.
Can you demonstrate the kind of power you say he had? Otherwise, all I see is speculation and a rush to judgement against Paterno. The guy people should be focused on is McQueary who did not stop a rape in progress, if his story is true. Paterno reported it as he was supposed to. If he had this "power" then why wasn't it taken care of back then. All of the evidence seems to show that he did not have this "power" that you say he had.
Oildog is talking about Paterno "before" all this went down. If Joe had done more than he did, NOBODY could have touched Joe!
He reported it and nothing was done. No evidence of power.
