He was the Vice President of Business and Finance, and "oversaw the campus police department."

I'd hardly equate telling him to calling the (real) cops.

Very picky with what details you want to count, then.

Telling the person who oversees the police department seems PRETTY similar to telling the police.

I see what you're saying, though. Lotta sketchy ish.

Well at that point, if nothing came of it... I'd tell someone else, since it's obvious that nothing was getting done properly.

Not really. It's not like he told a police chief or an actual law enforcement officer. He told an administrator at the school who happened to have the title. Who was also arrested for perjury.

Yeah, I think the point is that Paterno told someone he was close to and could manipulate with the info. It's a control thing.Doing something without really doing something. He could tell the VP and assure it wouldn't go further, becasue if it did, Paterno would have been in deep trouble too.

SportsByBrooks commented last night during the rioting that he was hearing of a rumor that if proved true, would horrify the American public (as if we thought it wasn't bad enough already). I just read a rumor, may or may not be the one that was spoken about last night, but the RUMOR is that Sandusky pimped out boys from Second Mile to high dollar donors. I'm afraid this is only the beginning of what we'll all soon find out.

That's quite a rumor, but I don't believe it.
The indictment doesn't mention anything to that level.

UTPD is a joke. As much of one as I imagine their campus police is.

No joke when it comes to parking tickets, I bet.

The number of people who knew about this just keeps growing, and growing, and growing, and still nothing was done... Crazy.

Also, this doesn't concern the NCAA, and it shouldn't. The football program is already going to take enough of a hit through decommitts, transfers, lost football revenue. Above all, the entire university itself is in big, big trouble right now... As in, in danger of being gutted.

Clery Act - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Jeanne Clery Disclosure of Campus Security Policy and Campus Crime Statistics Act or Clery Act is a federal statute codified at 20 U.S.C. § 1092(f), with implementing regulations in the U.S. Code of Federal Regulations at 34 C.F.R. 668.46.

The Clery Act requires all colleges and universities that participate in federal financial aid programs to keep and disclose information about crime on and near their respective campuses. Compliance is monitored by the United States Department of Education, which can impose civil penalties, up to $27,500 per violation, against institutions for each infraction and can suspend institutions from participating in federal student financial aid programs.

Which is practically a death sentence.

I think these are things being found now, after indictment. The indictment has everyone digging now. I hope it isn't true, but honestly can't think of reason it wouldn't be.

If the new rumor is true I can start believing some of the stuff being told to us by the likes of Joe Pa and others.

This would go way above their heads and probably would not know what the hell to do because it seems like police departments would probably be involved in the cover up. Or people who you fear worse than the police.

But the whole missing DA thing makes the new rumor more plausible. Right now, if my name was on that honorary board list for Second Mile, I would be worried.

Nothing I have ever been taught, or learned in the business world, correlates or supports the "ethics" that you say paterno has displayed.

He told higher up people than him therefore he did exactly what he is suppose to do in any business. What is not ethical about that?

Because it has to do with personal ethics.

As in, I see someone get shot... I don't go tell my boss at Derpmart first and stop there. I tell the police and if no one shows up. I call again.

As in, I get told by a scared GA that a child was getting molested... I don't go tell my boss at Pennderp. I tell the police and if no one shows up. I call again. And again.

I don't think JoePas biggest fault was not calling the cops.

It was letting the pederast continue to use his facilities for over a decade after finding out.

It's indefensible.

NCAA has released a statement. Nothing shocking:

Regarding the ongoing Penn State criminal investigation, the NCAA is actively monitoring developments and assessing appropriate steps moving forward. The NCAA will defer in the immediate term to law enforcement officials since this situation involved alleged crimes. As the facts are established through the justice system, we will determine whether Association bylaws have been violated and act accordingly. To be clear, civil and criminal law will always take precedence over Association rules.

Ask the other kids that were molested due to the lack of involvement.
This isn't a 16 yr old McD's employee that saw his buddy stealing apple pies and reported it to his manager, then proceeded to go about his day.
The specific allegations and circumstances call for certain actions of ethics and morals, and anyone saying differently needs to sit down and think about it a little more.

Rumor on rivals board that they forfeit this weekends game

They need to forfeit the rest of the season. They have to get out of the public spotlight, it's killing them.

Between JoePa's senilic moves in and out of the house to the students rioting, none of this helps.

I know it hurts the players because they had nothing to do with this, but the victims are hurt much worse. This needs to be the perspective.
