that's what makes JoePa still very relevant. The question is about what and when--now apparently how long he knew it.

This further exposes the university to even more cold, hard cash if he was culpable twice as long as previously indicated.

Right, but also the stakes and benefits of lying for both sides are higher than ever right now.

Neither side should get any immediately accepted claim to the truth.

The side proven to be lying about the issue automatically loses any claims to equal footing. Penn State is assumed to be the more dishonest party because history has shown them to be the more dishonest party. If Penn State doesn't like that characterization they need to take a good hard look in the mirror because it's their own damn fault.

By your standards, you lost any claim to legitimacy, objectivity, or truth yourself.

Of course it could be made up, but it seems like the judge has the evidence and it just hasn't been released yet. The truth will come out eventually on these allegations. Really wouldn't be surprised if it was true, jopa concealed this shit for 15 years.

and even an attorney for victims of Sandusky cautioned that he did not know of irrefutable evidence supporting the claim.

Joe Knew

I don't even think the ridiculously diehard JoePa defenders are even disputing that any more. The question is when he knew. Frankly, it was unforgivable for even the best case scenario of when, but if he knew that far back, he almost had to have been actively participating in assisting Sandusky to cover it up for so long. You can't defend that away as him trying to preserve the integrity of his legacy and the program's reputation any more, as though he was under such shock that he didn't have time to do the right thing.

Are any exceptions allowed to the biblical principle of forgiveness? The Lords prayer says "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us".

Not according to the self-appointed spokesmen of many religions. If you eat meat on Friday or swear you're going to hell, but child rape seems to be A-OK.

Only when priests do it.

Fun Fact: I did not know anything about the Boston Scandal until I saw that movie.

Born and raised in Milwaukee, where his mother is an assistant at a medical office and his father works on the line in a steel factory, Levy was a star linebacker at Wisconsin. He was most famous for a 2006 play against Penn State, a sideline tackle that accidentally drove him into coach Joe Paterno, breaking JoePa’s left leg. Ten years later, Levy now calls that incident “my proudest moment in college,” as history has since revealed Happy Valley’s sad secrets. “That dirtbag, man,” says Levy of Paterno, who was recently implicated as being aware of child sexual abuse committed by his assistant Jerry Sandusky as early as 1976. “We’ve gotta stop prioritizing sports over humanity,” says Levy. “Just because somebody can throw a football or coach football, they’re excluded from their wicked acts.”

LMAO at the comment:

"Paterno probably could have avoided the injury had he not been too busy looking the other way."

:D

The amazing thing is that people still want to go to this school. If I was a prospective student I think I would avoid the school that is now most well known for it's child rape cover up.

If you care about sports that much, I guess. Granted, sports is yuuuuuge at PSU, but it's a massive school and one of the larger public research institutions in the country. They attract shit-tons of international talent and gobs of money for their non-sports institutions.

Funding for PSU research makes the revenue generated by their (completely separate, I might add) NCAA-sponsored child-rape program look like peanuts.

I may have extreme views on this as I thought the Catholic church should have been disbanded and the Vatican's riches divvied up among its victims.
