Unconquered

You don't have your own opinion or the one you claim is yours is based on lies. Please tell us what you've read because its damn sure not the Freeh report.

Pot meet kettle, your opinion has been exposed so you resort to calling the poster Jay Paterno, very witty.

From pages 14-15 of the Freeh report:

Four of the most powerful people at the Pennsylvania State University- President Graham B B Spanier, Senior Vice President-Finance and Business Gary C. Shultz, Athletic Director Timothy M Curley and Head Football Coach Joseph V Paterno- failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children fo over a decade. These men concealed Sandusky's activities from the Board of Trustees, the university community and authorities. They exhibited a striking lack of empathy for Sandusky's victims by failing to inquire as to their safety and well-being, especially by not attempting to determine the identity of the child who Sandusky assaulted in the Lasch Building in 2001. Further, they exposed this child to additional harm by alerting Sandusky who was the only one who knew the child's identity, of what Mcqueary saw in the shower on the night of February 9, 2001.

Here's a link perhaps you should read it:

that small excerpt doesn't prove joepa was part of any such cover up. It only proves you didn't read the freeh report

Just stop. You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about. There are references to paterno's, the president's, the senior vice president's and the ad's inaction all throughout the report. Schultz and Curley have been brought up on charges, and it's safe to assume were paterno alive today he would also be brought up on charges. You can be an apologist all you'd like. The fact remains, that there was an independent investigation that found wrongdoing on behalf of "4 of the most powerful people at the Pennsylvania State University", paterno happened to be named as one of those people. Do you know of an independent report stating otherwise?

Copy and pasted from the findings of the Freeh report as issued in Louis Freeh's statement:

"In critical written correspondence that we uncovered on March 20th of this year, we see evidence of their proposed plan of action in February 2001 that included reporting allegations about Sandusky to the authorities. After Mr. Curley consulted with Mr. Paterno, however, they changed the plan and decided not to make a report to the authorities. Their failure to protect the February 9, 2001 child victim, or make attempts to identify him, created a dangerous situation for other unknown, unsuspecting young boys who were lured to the Penn State campus and football games by Sandusky and victimized repeatedly by him."
....
"Taking into account the available witness statements and evidence, it is more reasonable to conclude that, in order to avoid the consequences of bad publicity, the most powerful leaders at Penn State University – Messrs. Spanier, Schultz, Paterno and Curley – repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child abuse from the authorities, the Board of Trustees, Penn State community, and the public at large. Although concern to treat the child abuser humanely was expressly stated, no such sentiments were ever expressed by them for Sandusky’s victims."
....
"The evidence shows that Mr. Paterno was made aware of the 1998 investigation of Sandusky, followed it closely, but failed to take any action, even though Sandusky had been a key member of his coaching staff for almost 30 years, and had an office just steps away from Mr. Paterno’s."
....
"Based on the evidence, the only known, intervening factor between the decision made on February 25, 2001 by Messrs. Spanier, Curley and Schulz to report the incident to the Department of Public Welfare, and then agreeing not to do so on February 27th, was Mr. Paterno’s February 26th conversation with Mr. Curley."

That's just a snippet of what is contained in the report. Any information contrary to what is stated above is false, unless you yourself are an investigative authority with access to PSU records.

This comes directly from the statement made by Mr. Freeh. This is not mindless media drivel.

The fact that sandusky retired in 99 is completely irrelevant. What is relevant however, is sandusky's continual molestation and rape of young boys that occurred at the Lasch Building. Furthermore, we KNOW that paterno knew of at least one of these crimes. We also KNOW that he did not contact the proper authorities. Not doing so is nothing short of immoral.

Edit: I just read your post once more.

"There isn't much their showing joepa had any wrong doing. Should he have followed up, considering what happened after, yes, but that doesn't mean anything would have stopped."

Are you for real? paterno is absolved of any wrong doing because we don't know that the raping would have stopped? Followed up? My man, he had a moral obligation to contact the proper authorities. Not because he's jopa, beloved HFC at psu, but because he's a human being. He was a significant part of the cover-up. If any one of them had spoken up this would be an entirely different conversation.
