Amid the growing controversy if Joe had knowledge of former ass-coach Jerry Sandusky's petafile accusations is pure media driven. Mr. Paterno had full confidence in his peers when the accusation broke out more than 10 years ago (according to ESPN) to do the right thing and investigate the matter while he did his job.
Instead the issue was brushed under the rug (held by media) until Mr. Paterno won his 409th game. Penn State is running scared right now terminating everyone in it's wake to help gain respect back that Mr. Paterno has accomplished for the small school (35,000 students) and I don't think the media had that in mind when the story broke but now that Penn officials are running scared they and the media may have a frenzy on their hands.
Mr. Paterno was a fantastic person let alone Coach, He knew how to help kids grow past their "know-it-all" stage and become leaders in society to help other, in his 61 year tenure he developed a young school into a power-house, there for implementing an avenue for funds to help the University grow.
The media and the University are out of bounds on this call and need to take a second look at their obligations, of course Sandusky may be liable for his actions but why does the media always go after the most publicized person next to him? You got it! IT SELLS!!!
No matter if it destroys all good for 61 years.

On March 1, 2002, a Penn State graduate assistant ("graduate assistant who was then 28 years old, entered the locker room at the Lasch Football Building on the University Park Campus on a Friday night near the beginning of Spring Break.
The graduate assistant, who was familiar with Sandusky, was going to put some newly purchased sneakers in his locker and get some recruiting tapes to watch. It was about 9:30 p.m. As the graduate assistant entered the locker room doors, he was surprised to find the lights and showers on. He then heard slapping sounds.He believed the sounds to be those of sexual activity. As the graduate assistant put the sneakers in his locker, he looked into the shower. He saw a naked boy, Victim 2, whose age he estimated to be 10 years old, with his hands up against the wall, being subjected to anal intercourse by a naked Sandusky. The graduate assistant was shocked but noticed that both Victim 2 and Sandusky saw him. The graduate assistant left immediately, distraught.
The graduate assistant went to his office and called his father, reporting to him what he had seen. His father told the graduate assistant to leave the building and come to his home. The graduate assistant and his father decided that the graduate assistant had to report what he had seen to Coach Joe Paterno ("Paterno"), head football coach of Penn State. The next morning, a Saturday, the graduate assistant telephoned Paterno and went to Paterno's home, where he reported what he had seen.
Joseph V. Paterno testified to receiving the graduate assistant's report at his home on a Saturday morning. Paterno testified that the graduate assistant was very upset. Paterno called Tim Curley ("Curley"), Penn State Athletic Director and Paterno's immediate superior, to his home the very next day, a Sunday, and reported to him that the graduate assistant had seen Jerry Sandusky in the Lasch Building showers fondling or doing something of a sexual nature to a young boy.
Approximately one and a half weeks later, the graduate assistant was called to a meeting with Penn State Athletic Director Curley and Senior Vice President for Finance and Business Gary Schultz ("Schultz"). The graduate assistant reported to Curley and Schultz that he had witnessed what he believed to be Sandusky having anal sex with a boy in the Lasch Building showers. Curley and Schultz assured the graduate assistant that they would look into it and determine what further action they would take. Paterno was not present for this meeting.
The graduate assistant heard back from Curley a couple of weeks later. He was told that Sandusky's keys to the locker room were taken away and that the incident had been reported to The Second Mile. The graduate assistant was never questioned by University Police and no other entity conducted an investigation until he testified in Grand Jury in December, 2010. The Grand Jury finds the graduate assistant's testimony to be extremely credible.
we'll see when it all comes out and with today's coverage?
It will come out!
The Shop
There is going to be much, much more that comes out about this in the near future...
Sounds to me like he knew that ten year olds were getting pounded in the ass and he did nothing. So thirteen more got it after victim 2 was reported to him according to "media". Not sure how anyone could defend that.
The whole situation was handled poorly and it should have been brought to light years ago. Paterno and many others knew about it but nothing was done. IMO he deserves to be fired and even he knows it.
Are you defending that?
my opinion about this incident is that why didn't the president of the university do anything about it when it was brought to his attention Ten years ago?
And why is the person that seen what ever happen still working there aswell? if Joe Paterno went to his boss the same as this person that seen something why is'nt he fired aswell?
Because the media recognizes Joe more not this (who is he?) person who seen something that why.
I'm not defending anyone here besides the victims involved, I am making a point how the media can drive someone out of a job even if he went to his peers about the situation.
Only because now that the cat is out of the bag. I'm sure Paterno would have happily finished out his life coaching the Nittany Lions, taking this scandal to the grave. The students protesting his firing are fucking clueless.
Bottom line is he knew what was going on and knew more should have been done to rectify the situation.
I don't understand how anyone involved in this cover-up can live with themselves. Scumbags.

Pit Row
While little boys were getting Raped, you stood by and did fucking nothing.
Good-bye, coach.
You are NOT a Hero.
You are NOT even a "man".
The shit is going to come to the surface as judgment day (courts) for all involved comes closer and I may seem naive here but I don't think Paterno knew of the extent of the sandusky's affairs..
Really? How could a top official of a top University look the other way while this was happening? with so many individuals being involved? I (my opinion) think Spanier tried to keep this shit-hole of a scandal under wraps and kept telling personnel that he took care of it.
Another question arises as to why would paterno not look further into this AFTER 10 YEARS This is what my question is.
McQueary should have been fired along with Spanier and Paterno in the washing of this but for some reason the University kept Mcqueary on until today when he received death threats he decided to bale. Was the University trying to keep him around for questioning to get it's story straight?
This whole thing is mind boggling TO SAY THE LEAST and should be televised like the O.J Simpson trial. MEDIA
