Mcqeary is saying he didn't turn and run out he did stop it.

Getting interesting.

If he did stop it, how unlikely is it that he didnt tell JoPa or the AD that he stopped it? I would think very unlikely.

Of course, from what I've seen, the email didn't specify WHAT he stopped.

it's my impression that he "stopped" it only because they saw him. he didn't really do anything.

Yes. I'm pretty sure they stopped and got out of the shower. They wouldn't see him and continue. Of course, that's common sense, which has left many on this board.
McQ had initially been painted as a person that saw it, and just reported it, while letting it continue.

Did the lawyer really try to sell that some of the victims in the grand jury report are going to come forward and claim the stuff they said is false? I guess subjecting themselves to perjury charges? I assume this is just posturing in the media

It happened to michael jackson. The kid came out and said it was all a lie. He said his dad made him say those things. And of course his dad commited suicide.

If he did tell the Grand Jury that, then there is an incredibly sticky legal situation that the GJ created with its report, and I'm shocked McQueary hasn't filed a lawsuit. The GJ report left no ambiguity: McQueary saw Sandusky and the boy, and they saw McQueary, and McQueary left.

Perhaps, as some have suggested, simply being discovered stopped Sandusky. But that is not the same as McQueary actually doing anything to stop what he saw.

If McQueary did in fact stop the act, then he either didn't say as much to the Grand Jury, or the GJ lied about McQueary's testimony.

He could be lying no doubt. But they could simply get around everything by saying they didn't release everything and couldn't say anything because investigation was ongoing, etc etc. you are right though in that if he did testify to them he stopped it, their report didn't help him or his image very much

Actually, no, they can't say that. As far as this Grand Jury and these charges, the report marked the end of the investigation. McQueary's actions during the illegal act in question have no bearing on any charges the Grand Jury might take up in the future.

I honestly hope that Mcqueary did stop it but it does scream that he is just trying to save face.

He is probably getting death threats from the ones that wanted him to stop it, and then there is the super crazies that are angry that joe pa got canned.

From my friend in Pittsburgh, apparently the latest rumor smoldering is about how Sandusky's charity pimped little boys to the highest "donors." I wonder if this thing gets bigger...

Don't know if it has been discussed yet, if so, sorry.

What about a bowl bid? Do you think a bowl will come calling? Should they take the invitation or decline?

I'm split. The players aren't at fault, but at the same time, not sure what kind of message it sends....the university getting a bunch of money, celebrations, parades, etc. Just doesn't seem right.

I don't think they should accept a bowl bid.

Heard a good idea on the news. Don't punish the players, let them play in a bowl, but take all proceeds and profits that would go to the university and AD, and put it in escrow for the victims.

Players aren't punished, and victims get something out of it.

I don't know, it is kind of a tough call.
