    I'm not sure this is any more legitimate than the same suggestion Mark Madden made last fall. Still, lots and lots of investigating left to do.

    Everyone responsible is charged or dead, nothing more to see, move on, punch back, etc.

    Maybe even loud enough for those poor waitresses and hotel operators of Happy Valley to have heard. Good thing they aren't being punished by having football taken away ...

    funny how they never cared to hear the kids scream, tho, isn't it?
    nobody in those parts, even to this day, ever really gave a fuck what happened to those kids.

    I've just got to hope this proves untrue.

    It's nearly impossible to imagine the depravity that would allow this to go one, unstopped, for years.

    Any proposition pushed by Mark Madden starts life with a 98% presupposition of bullshit.

    However, in high similarity to the cases of Pete Rose and O.J. Simpson, pretty much every shocking allegation made in the PSU case has eventually proven to be true.

    So, we'll see.

    It does seem highly unlikely Sandusky was conducting his activities for year after year after year with nobody at all becoming aware of them.

    The most amazing part of the Penn State-Sandusky saga? That maybe it'll turn out to have been even worse than we suspected/discovered. Damn.

    Haven't most of us supposed from the start that Sandusky had "something" on Penn State, which turned out to be the leverage he needed to land such a sweetheart deal after he resigned his coaching position under questionable circumstances?

    I'd bet my life that Sandusky knows where all of the bodies are buried in Happy Valley. Somebody needs to give that sick fuck some incentive to start talking.

    It certainly begs all credulity and common sense that sometime fairly early in the whole process, Paterno (presuming he had some marbles left) wouldn't have said, "what the hell am I risking my entire program for this perverted kiddy-fucker for?"

    My offhand guess is that Sandusky's activities were fairly strongly suspected long, long before the date of the current timeline (1998).

    At the very least, Sandusky might have some kind of handwritten note from Paterno in, say, 1982 or so, saying, "you are sick and you need help."

    That would be damning enough in its own right, but not even in the same ballpark as if any members of the PSU support structure were actual participants in Sandusky's activities.

    In that case everything goes out the window -- including the existing consent agreement.

    I get the sinking feeling that this situation is only going to get uglier than it's already been ... if that's possible.

    Between the missing/dead/murdered DA Gricar, the PSU cover-up for Sandusky and the potentially devastating linkage to the Second Mile, this mess will most likely make one hell of a book one day.
