Not at Penn State apparently. I'm assuming they value money more than human life.

I think at this point keeping him on has nothing to do financially because they have to know the fall out is going to cost them money. I'm guessing he is gone before the end of the yea because of the fincial hit the school is going to take.

Penn State President Graham Spanier will quit or be fired today in wake of Sandusky charges, source says | lehighvalleylive.com

President getting fired. They should have Joe and McQueary on that list too.

Rick Reilly - The Penn State scandal - ESPN

Powerful quotes and experiences that these former NHL players have shared.

Quote:
Does Paterno have grandkids? (Yes, 17.) How would he feel if it were one of his grandkids in that shower with the coach? What would he have done then?
” -- Sheldon Kennedy, former NHL player and abuse victim


...but hey all, it's BIG MONEY COLLEGE FOOTBALL!!

Re: Sex Abuse Scandal Rocks Penn State

Penn State University - Board of Trustees


Send them emails. I plan on doing so.

Dear PSU Board of Trustees,

I’m here to let you know how pathetic it is to allow Joe Paterno to finish out the year as the PSU football coach. You are basically thumbing your noses at the victims by allowing this man, who helped enabled Sandusky molest children, to continue representing your school’s football program. It’s a shame you guys have chosen big money football over what’s right. For this, I could never see your institution as respectable, and I would never allow my children to attend or play for your university. Joe Paterno’s exit should have been immediate, along with the other people who knew and continued to do nothing. There is absolutely no excuse for his inactions, regardless if he filled his “legal obligations”. He had a duty to the kids, to the community, and to the university to do much more, but he chose to look the other way. Even now, you guys could help repair what’s been done and do the right thing, yet you continue to look the other way by allowing him to finish the season. Those kids deserved more from Joe Paterno and your school.

Done and done. I doubt it will get read, or I'll get a personal reply, but it's better than doing nothing.

Personally, I hope that anybody who knew anything about what was happening before the story broke is let go immediately. This includes anyone at the university or the BoT. In a few short days, you've managed to wipe out whatever good reputation Penn State had. Congratulations, that's no small feat. Instead of being referred to as Linebacker U, I have no doubt that in the future it will be referred to as Child Rapist U. There's nothing on Earth more despicable than a grown adult who wants to take advantage of a child's innocence. And it's apparent that the people at Penn State, even when they witness something so despicable, don't feel strongly enough about it to notify the police.

This is absolutely insane. The breathtaking arrogance of Penn State is reprehensible. I have ZERO respect for Joe Pa. Anybody that watched this go on deserves to be in hell as much as the person that committed the act.

Penn State University Official Athletic Site - Administration

List of staff and emails. Let Joe Pa know what you think of him, and McQueary for advancing his career by keeping quiet.

Penn State Nittany Lions' Joe Paterno to retire at end of season - ESPN

On this article, there is a podcast on the right with Jay Bilas destroying Penn State administration, and for allowing them to let Joe Paterno continue coaching.

He makes a great point. Why are people talking about "I need to find out the facts before making a decision." What more is there to know? You hear a old man is taking a shower with a 10 year old kid. What more do you need to know? ...lol

Re: Sex Abuse Scandal Rocks Penn State

Sandusky abuse claims date back to 1994, grand jury says - CNN.com

..but..but....guys, I didn't know! Hell, I think at this point with all those allegations and stuff prior to 2002 incident, they should be charging McQueary, Joe Paterno and their school president.
