Good read, HPH.
The more I think about it, the more I wonder whether the Penn State program "circled the wagons" around Sandusky when he was accused back in 1998. I have no evidence that they covered for him then, but in light of the subsequent coverup I have to wonder...

PSU is a Commonwealth of PA institution, and it may have sovereign immunity. (Wouldn't that go over well in the court of public opinion?)
If not, PSU probably doesn't carry insurance for this sort of thing (if they're like the public universities I'm familiar with, they're "self insured"), and the lawsuits could well bankrupt the school. HPH

Absolutely true, Lainey.
And, more than that, they really don't have the excuse of losing their jobs, because Federal whistle-blower legislation is specifically designed to protect people who sound the alarm.
So it's really all about the "family" business and circling the wagons. HPH

I find it interesting that our former Oklahoma coach Barry Switzer was called by the local newspaper and asked if he had an opinion on this as a former head coach. He replied that football coaches spend a lot of time together and it is hard to believe they all didn't know what was going on. He immediately started geting hate mail from Penn State people that he had no proof so why was he saying this. He called the lady and told her he wanted to change his statement to make it clear he had no proof. She reported this in the paper and added how much proof do you need that this was a typical cover up by Penn State to protect Joe.

Perhaps. But in this instance I'm sure I'd be the DIY type regardless of the fallout. I've never had a job I loved that much and I'm confident I never will.
