Did PSU do wrong? Absolutely. The AD, police chief, and probably the president performed some coverup. My problem is with the Board of Trustees for the university and the NCAA/Emmert. They scapegoated an 80 year old coach who did exactly what the institutional rules required him to do. He reported the story from one of his assistant coaches to his boss and campus police about a former employee under the control of the AD. If any of us had done that, would we not consider the matter closed regarding our involvement? Where did Paterno perform a coverup? A single email found by Freeh without known subject or context where Paterno asks for more thought on next steps? Really?? We know that the AD and police guy did not do their jobs, and for that, PSU should be punished. Criminally and civilly!
Joe Paterno, after 56 years of exemplary service, was simply convenient flesh to throw at the wolves barking at the gates. PSU did not gain one ounce of competitive advantage by allowing a private citizen pervert to walk free. None. If you can explain why the NCAA took away victories from before the very first case of abuse showed up (well before PSU knew about it), I'd be happy to listen. That comes across as vindictive, and when the NCAA acknowledges someday that the entire meme against Paterno was false, you'll all be able see this as well. Every one of you should be asking to see the emails from the NCAA, because if the very risk of them seeing the light of day has the NCAA sputtering to give things back to PSU, what is in them must be very bad to Emmert and his gangster organization.
