What really gets me about the whole cover up is

[PittPoker]

That there are a bunch of LIVING assistant coaches all over the country who either were told about Sandusky's actions or witnessed them decades ago and NOT 1 OF THEM HAS THE COURAGE TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND ADMIT THAT THEY KNEW!!!

It sickens me and that means you Bradley and Schiano and others. What, are you worried about Jay Paterno tweeting at you after you come clean? Or did you make some sick pact with your idol JoePa that you would keep Paterno's secret that he knew long ago to your graves?

They would lose their jobs and probably never coach again. Self preservation trumps doing the right thing

Sad but true

Bigger problem is the cult.
Literally thousands of brainwashed people putting football wins over the safety of children.
Blaming the whistleblowers and victims..
The fix was obvious - a 5 year ban on football.
Get your head right - Ped State ---- it ain't going to happen

Sadly, they could have easily been heroes if they nipped this in the bud. But I don't think anybody had the cajones to defy JoePa and be the whistleblower. Someone should have bypassed that whole twisted mess (including the local police and the state AG) and gone to the feds.

Yeah but what about right now? I guess they are all worried about their lasting reputation if they came out and acknowledged that they were told about Sandusky decades ago. And if they admit that then Paterno gets "officially" outed so basically these horrible assistants take this secret to their graves - unless 1 of them decides to finally do the right thing and admit.

Yeah good luck with that. So so sick.

What personal good would it do for any of these coaches, especially Bradley and Schiano, to come out and say "yes, this stuff happened"? It would be their ruination and open them up for lawsuits and possibly criminal trials plus making them pariahs and unemployable as coaches.

So...there is your answer.

Well, you see what they did to Mike McQueary didn't you?

The treatment of MM is exactly why no one else is willing to come forward. He is an absolute pariah in his hometown and likely will never get another coaching job, especially at the D1 P5 level.

Mike is far from innocent. He was way too okay with being a part of that circus for a long time. Guessing that his silence was bought with a staff position. Ultimately, his hand was forced and he paid dearly.

They cant come out, they just cant... it would totally wreck them. Plus, it is probably true none of them actually seem the guy definitively doing something they absolutely know was sick and caught him red-handed. Like I said before, he most likely took extreme care to do things so no one was around or the kid couldnt scream and have someone hear him. I really do think MM may be one of the only ones seeing him naked with a kid doing something, and he went to tell Paterno. Obviously MM should have went to police... but come on, this is cult state, I think if that happened we would now be talking about cover ups in the police department.

Agreed - absolutely disgusting that the cult still puts football over the abuse victims.

and now Ohio State has two coaches on their staff that has been around this
