Message: [QUOTE="cto, post: 67296, member: 412"] That is really a two-part question ... how should he have handled it if he known about the allegations before this weekend ... and how he should have handled it if he just found out about it this weekend. The answer to the first part is obvious. He should have directed PSU to notify the authorities immediately about a potential crime and offered to fully cooperate in the investigation, and he should have suspended Sandusky without pay and severed all his ties with PSU, pending the result of the investigation. As to the second scenario .. assuming he heard about it for the first time this weekend (which I doubt), I certainly would NOT have issued a statement of "unconditional support" for those two senior officers. As soon as I heard that statement this weekend, I went "Wow, that is the dumbest thing I have ever heard." I could not believe anyone could be that dumb. Anyhow, if he first learned about it this weekend, he should have expressed outrage that such events could have occurred, and could have been covered up. As the earliest stories indicated the two senior officers were to be charged with perjury, I would have immediately suspended them without a pay. I would promise the school's fullest cooperation with the DA's investigation, and I would announce PSU's own sweeping internal investigation as to how such a thing could have happened and could have been covered up. And I would have told JoePa to submit his retirement papers immediately ... with some little statement that he had planned to retire at the end of the season,but was accelerating it a bit because he felt it was a good idea for the school to start with a new slate in the football department that had not been associated with Sandusky. Statement would reiterate his innocence, but state he was doing it for the good of PSU. If all that had been done this weekend, I think it would help show that the president was in charge. And there would not be all this focus on JoePa and whether he should resign. [/QUOTE]
