JoePa is a sad, creepy, pathetic old fvck who's held that program hostage for years even without this scandal tarnishing his image. Now we get to remember him as a pederast supporter to boot.

Here's a quick rule of thumb for all the college ADs out there wondering how you know your coach probably needs to leave:

He's 85, can't be on the sidelines because it's too dangerous AND IS AN ACCOMPLICE IN A FARM SYSTEM FOR MAN-BOY RAPE.

This story just keeps getting more bizarre.

So in 1998 (or 99, just as the first accusations against Sandusky wre coming out) the then county DA who would have been responsible for mounting a case against Sandusky & PSU went missing near a river outside of Happy Valley. His county laptop was discovered a month later, hard drive removed. He was never found.

The guy they replaced him with? This is from the PSU student newspaper:

In 1998, a mother reported Sandusky was with her son in a shower on campus. The incident was reviewed by University Police and then-University counsel Wendell Courtney.

Courtney was, and still is, the lawyer for The Second Mile (Sandusky's Foundation). Former Centre County District Attorney Ray Gricar decided there was not enough evidence to charge Sandusky after the incident.

    • So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
