Message: [QUOTE="TinyManInside, post: 67435, member: 1251"] I think you're probably on the right track. When you read the grand jury testimony... there are a lot of things that don't really add up. This is a story with a lot of villans. You have to figure that some people would think Sandusky's behavior was questionable - I'm not talking about people who directly witnessed the assaults - but basically that this guy was bringing a seemingly unending parade of young boys to so many events over the years and was often in one-on-one unsupervised situations with them (bringing them to games, hotels, banquets, driving them around, etc). It would seem unbelievable to me that no one on campus or within the Second Mile organization had a suspicion of what was going on??? And then there is the MM situation... ugh... a part of me wonders if he used the situation as leverage to gain his current position on the team (wide receivers coach). Something doesn't add up here. Not only did he not stop the incident when it was happening, but he continues on at Penn State, and then becomes a coach??? I'm sorry, but if I saw something like that happen 1) I would try to do something to stop it THEN AND THERE, and 2) I would be looking for a new school or new job IMMEDIATELY. I can't imagine staying on at a place after seeing something like that happen. Particularly if you inform your boss, it goes up the chain of command, and [B][I]nothing gets done about it[/I][/B]. You'd really want to continue working at a place like that??? Really?? Again, it doesn't add up. Lots of coincidences too - first criminal investigation into Sandusky in 1998, then he announces his retirement the next year, but retains a bunch of perks. Sounds functionally equivalent to a plea deal to me. Like he was forced to retire, meaning that people from Paterno on up knew more than they have lead on? I have this feeling that only a part of this story is out right now. There are too many gaps in the grand jury transcript to really address the big picture. I'm having this vision of blackmailers blackmailing each other... this is some truly repulsive stuff. Mason [/QUOTE]
