It seems a lot of people have come down on him for not involving campus police at least, and yet the supervisor was indeed called into the matter.The Catholic Voyagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01076867908302903171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708139263643046536.post-59718716170084093862011-11-13T00:36:04.319-05:002011-11-13T00:36:04.319-05:00Al, I listened to the Paterno segment.

I was a little disappointed that the guest did not go into detail on Paterno's culpability, but instead seemed to incriminate him on the grounds that he is the most "influential" guy on campus. I felt like his sentiment was: "Paterno is big time! Therefore he should have trumped his superior's investigation!"<br /><br />What is far more puzzling here is that if McQueary truly believed he witness a child rape - then why on earth did HE not press the matter after the school officials gave Sandusky the wrist-slap? Paterno was not the witness. The vehement condemnation of Paterno still does not seem to me consistent with his actions. If there is damning evidence against Paterno's knowledge of child rape occuring, then I would like it presented. Calling him "influential" would not serve as evidence in any court.The Catholic Voyagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01076867908302903171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7708139263643046536.post-6967525645026058522011-11-11T14:21:42.383-05:002011-11-11T14:21:42.383-05:00Al I look forward to hearing the podcast of this l...Al I look forward to hearing the podcast of this later. I still think based on what has been revealed so far, Paterno was made a scapegoat whose punishment did not fit whatever oversight people want to assign to a person who has shown a propensity to help not only athletes but other students as well. His punishment has been far worse, and he has been far more vilified in the media than any other character in this episode, debatably more than the perpetrator! And the one then 28-year-old witness who was there and could actually have stopped a rape first hand but chose instead to tell his dad the next day isn't even fired! The only reason he's not coaching Saturday is because of multiple threats against him! But the school used Paterno as a pr move to conduct damage control, in the same tradition the school looked out for itself in the past. Even the victims' lawyer has said the victims are not happy with Paterno's firing. I opined last night on the blog if you click my name. ;)The Catholic Voyagerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01076867908302903171noreply@blogger.com
