What I can see happening is that if Joe dies from this (idk what the chances are since they said it is treatable), a lot of people are going to go from hating him to saying they loved him. I can see that happening.

Might be an insensitive thing to question...but i wonder how long he's known about the cancer? The news dropping today is a bit curious.

Yea it might sound cold but I doubt we would have heard anything about the cancer of not for this whole mess, he wouldn't want that used against him in recruiting.

Looks like second mile is shutting down operations. ESPN.com story here. Having done a lot of public service, I can say a lot of child advocacy groups/orgs don't exist or are woefully underfunded. Aside from the molestation of kids, it says second mile helps 100,000 kids annually. Where are these kids going to go now? Who can they turn to now for help?
Given the state of the federal & state economies, education budgets will be shrinking to epic levels & there surely won't be a much dough for youth centers, activities, mentoring programs, etc.
This is so perverse on so many levels...
There is so much I'd like to say about paterno having cancer, but I'm going to let it be...I don't wish that man well at all...

I thought the same thing, but I believe it was in his best interest for people not to know about it. This seems like the type of thing someone found out and reported, vs Joe admitting it himself.

He could but I wouldn't doubt it if he thinks this is all acceptable behavior and sees nothing wrong with it.

Wasnt it scott paterno who broke the news? He then asked for people to respect their privacy. Who would have known or let this story out of the bag if scott p didnt say anything? News coming out like this REEKS of a PR spin.

Penn St. hires Louis Freeh to investigateEmailPrintComments371Associated Press
PHILADELPHIA -- Former FBI director Louis Freeh, tapped to lead Penn State's investigation into the child sexual-abuse allegations against a former assistant football coach, said his inquiry will go as far back as 1975, a much longer period than a grand jury report issued earlier this month.
Freeh was named Monday to oversee the university board of trustees' internal investigation into the abuse allegations that ultimately led to the ouster of longtime football coach Joe Paterno and university president Graham Spanier.
http://espn.go.com/colleg...ouis-freeh-investigation
Ok...so in reading some of the comments on the ESPN page, I came across this:
I'm not sure the board is being impartial with their hiring Louis Freeh. After the FBI, Louis Freeh worked at MBNA and with Ric Struthers (both were MBNA executives). Both MBNA and Struthers have strong connections to the Penn State and Ric is on Penn State's board of Trusties. Ric also happens to be on the Board of the Second Mile. You can Google and find MBNA and Struthers being the lead sponsors for the 2004 Jerry Sandusky Testimonial Dinner and Roast.
Maybe it's nothing, but certainly worth digging into.
If this is true, it's a conflict of interests amongst other things....Seems as though we may be seeing Sandusky walk after the dust settles. Penn State hiring their OWN investigator???? Don't want to play the conspiracy card, but it's hard not to...seems as though they're doing their best to cover their tracks.
*Out of curiosity...in cases like these where employees and the school are under the microscope, isn't it a bit odd that they (PSU) called the shots as far as who is going to do the investigation???

man u can already feel the fix is in... watching that interview of one of sandusky's former boys from second mile you could tell dude was hiding something. dude basically sounded like he was told what to say.... so you did everything with sandusky, showered with him, he put his hands on your leg, slept over his house, you admit he was obsessed with you BUT he never did nothing to you? yea right...

It didn't necessarily occur in the last six weeks. It was just reported then. All we know is that the accuser is under the age of 18 currently. They do have the death penalty. But this isn't a crime that capital punishment applies to.
