Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 314115, member: 204"] I will re-read the report. I think that's a good idea. I read much of it the day it was published. I do not recall the report indicating that it was Joe Paterno's idea to commence a cover up. The fact is that Joe Paterno was never charged with a crime. And, no member of the football staff was charged with a crime. Only two University administrators, and a former football coach who by 2001 had been retired for three years, were charged with crimes. Nobody has been charged with obstruction of justice - only lying to the Grand Jury. Lack of empathy is a bad thing. I wish more people had empathy. But lack of empathy is not a crime and not a basis for NCAA sanctions. I know you want this to be about the football program, but it really wasn't. It was about a twisted man who was a former coach, and few members of the PSU administration that handled a bad situation involving the former employee very, very badly. [/QUOTE]
