I think this could go much bigger yet in the people this may bring down.

Keep in mind that the sitting Governor Tom Corbett who took office in January 2011 and who is an ex-officio member of the PSU Board of Trustees was elected governor while he was the current State Attorney General. The state Attorney General's Office seems to have been leading the long Grand Jury investigation into Jerry Sandusky and whatever else it will end up having uncovered.

As of last week, the target of that investigation that was led at one time by Corbett, still had free reign at PSU on the campus that is nominally under the control of a Board of Trustees over which Corbett has substantial control.

It doesn't strain the imagination to think of a scenario wherein Corbett was (i) well aware of the investigation into Sandusky and his deeds with children as a result of his holding the Attorney General's office, (ii) became a member of the PSU Board of Trustees (including the ability to appoint a half dozen members of his choosing) in January after being elected Governor, (iii) did nothing to advise the Board that they had a well revered predator in their midst or take action to shut Sandusky down and (iv) additional children were victimized during this time.

Once he became Governor don't his obligations to the Commonwealth, the Commonwealth Treasury and its flagship university trump any potential duty to keep the investigation silent?
