Joe was arguably the most powerful man on campus, knew about it by his own admission and did nothing to stop it beyond minimal effort. I always thought joe and the Penn state football program was probably best in the country. Joe valued it more than children and he had 17 grandchildren. Maybe after a few years I will think differently, now I am still pissed at him. No, dont name a damn thing after him. Think about it, he could not have not know Sandusky ran a program for boys, literally his own little harem.

i'm torn on the entire issue, as we weren't there. no, i wouldn't name anything after him.
this aside, anyone that hurts a kid should be tossed into the slammer so they can be some dude's bitch. (or if a woman, same deal, except be some woman's bitch.) then they can see how it is to be the victom, themself. anyone that enables a person to injure a kid should be put in the slammer, too. though we weren't there & the media often distorts things. i'm not defending the guy, nor saying he was correct in the least.

I had to vote no. Just left too bad a feeling just thinking he knew and said nothing.

All he needed to do when he first heard about this was dial 911. We would not be having this discussion right now. :glare: I voted NO!

His football team was more important than innocent kids. What a pos. The only field they should name after this scumbag is the Stickney sewerage drying fields just outside of Chicago.
