    If JoePa knew, he should be gone. Also, the dude wrote a book and it was titled "Touched". Seriously? Wow.

    Don't matter. FIVE-PEAT!

    Sorry Slick, but looks like this is the end of JoePa.

    From what I read in the article when Jopa became aware of the situation he reported it to the proper school authorities. It was the responsibility of those people to report it to law enforcement. Jopa may dodge the bullet on this one.

    If he does that's dispicable. I'm sorry but if you're aware of something that terrible going on your duty isn't to report it to the head football coach and his duty isn't to report it to the AD and his duty isn't to report it to the President of Penn State. It's everyone's duty to report it to the police. It's like they're all walking around in robes and collars up there in Happy Valley.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    When Jopa became aware of it it was an allegeded incident. So he followed the chain of command. IMO
    Sounds like there was alot going on and the higher ups turned a bind eye which is appalling to me.

    I could see that working if the allegations were "I saw Coach Sandusky parking in the handicap spot", but allegations of kiddie diddling are way more serious. I get JoePa going to his superiors and saying this is what he heard, but at some point don't you ask them, "Hey, remember that thing I talked to you earlier about Sandusky? Whatever happened to that?"

    We don't know if that question was asked or not. I think shortly after this reported incident, Sandusky was no longer with Penn State. I don't know if that was a contributing factor or not in Sandusky leaving.

    True. Either way I've got a feeling that this could be the final year for JoePa.
