Well, the one organization that is not rushing to judgment is . . . the NCAA.

NCAA Will Monitor Situation While Investigation Proceeds

This is all about protecting the sacred institution of college football. It makes me sick. Clearly, protecting the program was of primary importance. They should all be in jail, from the old geezer on down. Screw them and their precious football.

Anybody else besides me find it odd that Paterno finds out about the rape early on Saturday morning and doesn't report it until the next day. If you found out a 10 yr old had been raped in your place of business the night before, how long would it take you to call the police?

I find it odd, too....and he tells his athletic director and washes his hand of it. We now know that least one other boy was later sexually assaulted.

Ditto that.

Are those facts pretty well established? I would prefer not to read any more of this sickening news coverage.As long as it took to find the phone.

Well, Paterno is a Catholic, and, basically a dictator of his football program. Neither of those institutions, historically, have been ardent proponents of free speech, honesty, openness, etc. As always - i know, in many of my posts - i must bring up that four letter word: cult.

It isn't about football per se. It is about saving their own skin. If you were them, there is NO way this comes out making you look good.

A sad sordid affair which has strong and unfortunate parallels with the priest and molestation scandal.

a few more comments:
1. People need to go to jail.
2. The university needs to pay a lot of money to the victims.
3. If we now know of eight victims there are sure to be more.

How so? There are people being fired. In the RC church, they shuffle them to other places with the pope's consent.

isn't there some joke about priests which ends with "coke and a candy bar"?

anyway, Paterno is a silly old catholic authoritarian - i know, as opposed to a silly young catholic authoritarian - who has been selling the same old soap for years. sadly, the reaction from the young, rioting college kids last night showed that they are such dumb sheep that they fell for the whole thing, hook, line and sinker. sports and fascism have always sold well, think hitler and the '36 olympics, and the unforgettable contributions of leni riefenstahl and "olympiad". even our ex governor, "ahnold", spoke of his fascination with the nazis and their rallies and masses of obedient adoring idiots.

meanwhile, young boys were sacrificed to keep the cause alive.

and, larry bible, sandusky is happily married, at least according to wiki.

Sandusky is married and has six adopted children.[23] He also took in foster children.[5]

One son, Jon Sandusky, serves as Director of Player Personnel for the Cleveland Browns.[24][25] Another son, E.J. Sandusky, is an assistant football coach at West Chester University.[26]

homosexuality and pedophilia are horses of a different color. and for the record, i am straight.

What about the role of the campus police? They have the same authority as a municipal police department. What did they know? What did they do?
