Even though Joe Pa did report the incident to the administration he should have gone a little further and mentioned the situation to the authorities. I can't believe that Sandusky did this really. I mean he has his own childrens organization and he did this behind the scenes? To me this is a disgrace. I just don't understand how some people can even think of doing something like this. Sad to see this happen to what I thought was a respectable organization. That is now 2 respected coaches from the Big 10 put into difficult situations. Link to comment

It was a failure of the administration not of Joe. He did what he was supposed to and that's it. Link to comment

Just sad. I think JoePa should have obviously done more... but he did nothing wrong either. A shame that it's going to be this tragedy that ends his legacy. Link to comment

Not now. Just updated he is now fired. Unreal. It's sad to see him leave like this and this story just continues to get worse. Right now I'm watching ESPN and they are talking about riots at Penn State by students. It's one thing to hear about paying players but to hear about one of the coaches doing something like this to little boys is just awful. Link to comment

When he sexually abused the kid in the Penn State locker room, he was no longer on the Penn State coaching staff. About the riots... they will continue throughout the rest of the season. He was and still is loved by the Penn State faithful. They will continue to show there support to JoePa and the mishandling of the entire situation by the Board of Trustees. lol yea I watched a little bit of the coverage last night after vietnam HD. It was actually surprising, since there are only 3 games left in the season. It doesn't shock me all that much. There is 4 or possibly 5 games left for Penn State and I figured he'd be gone by the time Penn State's bowl game came around. Link to comment

Well yea, I figured he'd be gone by the bowl game which is why I said "3 games left". Link to comment

Yeah... but there is also the Big Ten Championship game and right now Penn State leads the division, by two games nonetheless. Link to comment
