Marci is one of the most knowledgeable Legal Scholars on Child Abuse. She in particular has as her legal specialty how Institutional Protection of its own Leadership and Culture that foster or Cover-Up Child Abuse. This includes Catholic Church, UN Peacekeepers, and in particular her own Penn State University where she went to Graduate School.She is also major in Literature Writing and you can bet she will put out her own book that will be made into a movie.If the choice is between continuing to claim that Paterno was the real victim or helping the survivors, the entire world knows which option the Cult will choose. Here is a 160+ post thread currently on BWI's front page in which the Cult is enraged that one of the victims does not want to testify in the Paterno family lawsuit because the victim says he is too fragile to testify.
Naturally, the Cult takes the high road. Or maybe not. Pnnylion, in his latest incarnation, calls the claim "pure bullshit." The victim is then labeled a "pussy" and a "liar." Another posters suggests that Cult hero John Ziegler should have planted a fake victim. The Cult is "so tired of these lying victims."

It may happen depending on The Second Mile Reopening investigation and after Settlement Allegations are published. As stated, it could grow bigger not get smaller, due to the PMA-PSU Insurance Case.The only way to get the real truth is to bring in the feds! No more pennsyltuckians involved in this case!
The Media, Freeh, NCAA and Trustees, have been attacked by quotes in the The Paterno Report Advocates as believed by the PSU Cultists that went on Emails, Twitter, and Social Media like Blogs on Rivals, ESPN, CBS, Yahoo Sports, and Newspaper Comments refuting and attacking the Reporters? We all saw and read them as these some Bloggers had to be banned and Posts taken down even on the Lair?They deserve every bit of this nightmare...I hope it never ends.

As stated, Dead Men Don't Get To Write Their History! As previously posted, Penn State Fans are on record demanding the full truth and may have to accept the full truth and then live by their own motto. Once they know the full truth will walk away from the Penn State Football Era between 1966-2011.Their nightmare is reality... Joe knew and now is rotting where he belongs.
It is safer bet the Scandal is not going away but is actually widening and like Cosby and Ray Rice Endorsements go away depending how the Paterno decide to go forward with the Commercial Disparagement Lawsuit, even Nike's Shoe Contract with Joe Information is now part of Discovery.Obviously the people at Duquense Beer have no morals! What's nest - Altoona Priest Ale?
Speaking of PnnyLiar (Now Malanoce) looks like the BWI Poster has taken exception to him more than Acceptance, he is still Dumpster Searching I suspect and bragging about it? Gives a whole new meaning to Junk Collector?If the choice is between continuing to claim that Paterno was the real victim or helping the survivors, the entire world knows which option the Cult will choose.

I think it has dawned on the Trustees the Court of Public Opinion is changing and even they are realizing PSU Alumni and Fans demanding a return and honoring Paterno somehow even this year maybe should be delayed?
The New Unsealed Allegations may actually not only backfire over time, but then they will grow into a bigger embarrassment and the very support PSU President, AD, Trustees want to Restore may grow even bigger in Public Opposition, it can't be done.
If the revelations are so heinous like in SPOTLIGHT Cases put out in a Motion in Public that actually led to a total condemnation of the Catholic Church Cover-Ups by the Public and led to many more Lawsuits that went worldwide? The Baylor Case just reinforces how Sports have to change. Penn State name and shame is mention every time with Baylor today.
Even Penn State Alumni will realize the full truth in those Allegations will prevail over any Slogans, Legacy of Hypocrisy Not Honorable Culture, and any Records of Winning that duped them as well the NCAA, Public and used to create Victims that could not defend them.
Even the Paterno's may have to admit they did not know and they were exempt from disclosure in such details since it never went allegedly beyond Joe and Tarman the AD?
The MEdia's Victims Details will trump any explanations whether Joe did not take those Allegations seriously way back in 1970s-80s, and called it Horsing Around?
And since they came from troubled children that Pedophiles often target knowing they would not be believed, and it was more important to protect the Program anyway against Allegations no one wants to hear or talk about in those days. Whereby most of Society was hiding from them anyway everywhere in churches, schools, and just did not know how to handle them?
The Paterno's are decent people that feel Joe has been treated unfairly but if if Joe kept that from them, well, they have to admit Victims Today have to come before any Legacy of Yesterday.
To be fair, I have defended Joe himself posting it is my belief Joe like most of us would be confused on what to do if he heard in 1998 Jerry was under Investigation, but was dismissed by Gricar. Joe got Jerry to retire and thought that was the end of it.
The 2001 Incident was another matter and I said I can wait for all the Criminal and Civil Cases to decide what can be proven or removed.
However, if it comes out Joe was told in 1971, 1976, 1987, and 1988, and Jerry said it was just Horsing Around and you can't believe those Lying Children.....again I can sympathize when judging Paterno during the Prevailing Social Norms of the 1970-80s on Children Abuse.
Still, that is just me, and I am not making excuses for Joe, just explaining I can understand how he would himself dismiss the Allegations at those times. Joe is those days were on attack mode on anything that would impute Penn State Grand Experiment Slogan and Penn State would ban Reporters that challenged it?
I may post some old articles links for younger posters that do not know how Joe used to attacked other Football coaches Programs while promoting his own Program, and the NCAA and Fans believed it.
However, The MEdia and Public won't consider my above reaction and they will point to Joe knowing 4 earlier times before 1998 and 2001. It be hard to defend what Joe said under Grand Jury Oath, if the Allegations turn out to contradict him? Joe will be judged on 2012-2016 Standards not 1970-80. Such Allegations could refute much of The Paterno Report since the Experts Paid to write it did not know of Settlement Allegation in Details to be fair to them too?
This could actually cause Children Public Advocacy Groups march in protests in Harrisburg demanding all Statute of Limitations be removed opening up far more Cases and attacking the very Politicians that settled the Consent Decree that are Penn State Graduates themselves. along with a detailed investigation of The Second Mile that Corbett's Frank Fina's OAG Team ignored.
Along with marches on Campus demanding changes in the Penn State Murals removal of Joe all together not just the Halo.
People marching and turning into a raging Mob could become violent if ignored and attack the Mural itself. Or even if one Victim that was attacked by the PSU Cult saying he just wanted money could do the same out of anger., and that Mural may be Whitewashed all together, let alone any thought of Return to Paterno Statue!
The stakes are getting higher on what will happen and how Penn State is dealing with a Scandal that now may grow bigger than it was when made public a week after 409th Win?
It will no longer be a 409 Clean Up but a way to get all Alumni, Trustees, and Administration just all uniting and saying it was worse than we ever knew and, as the MEdia does it jobs with Victims and victims Advocates, will just say, i don't want to discuss it, and we moved on, and knowing Joe's Memory and Legacy will be written by others not him. It will end with "I Should Have Done More!"
Far more now that everyone knows when and what he knew in the Allegations and that can't be erased, if they are as horrific as SPOTLIGHT once printed about what happen at Boston?
Penn State Alma Mater Song Name is already Shamed, but the MEdia will be coming like a Giant attacked by a Penn State CULTists that enraged the MEdia by attacking them?
Michael Keaton is on a Academy Award Run after SPOTLIGHT and now coming soon FOUNDER, he is a Pennsylvanian and may want to make a Movie or Netflix Series on what really happen at Penn State?
We shall see soon?
This is just some speculation until the entire victims records, complaints, and allegations are revealed and dependent on how much is revealed by the judge. Already one victim has stated he does not want his name out.Cap't, Please post away on paternoster and his actions...
This is just some speculation until the entire victims records, complaints, and allegations are revealed and dependent on how much is revealed by the judge. Already one victim has stated he does not want his name out.
I prefer to fair to all parties and views until we can actually read the details and then i may have to apologize as well, in defending Joe's Confused Actions in 2001 and earlier dealings in 1998. Especially if Allegations emerged in a number of time way back in 1970-80s? It will be hard for me to believe Joe Knew and protected Sandusky prior to 2001 and I will still admire other aspects of Joe even if he made grave mistakes in judgments if the Allegations show that too?
Yet, other Victims may say, like in SPOTLIGHT, hell with it, use my name, and I want my story told. This led to more Victims coming out after the Media Publications, it open the flood gates to overwhelming the Catholic Church problems with Pedophile and Sexual Attacks on Children being covered up and Priest removed but not terminated nor prosecuted?
If this the allegations are horrific as in SPOTLIGHT's Abuse Details, and alleged AD Tarman and Coach Joe were allegedy told, but alleged discounted them 4 times or more, it will be asked why and how they could do that by the Media and Public?
It will be like everyone near and around Penn State was like the Fictional Daily Planet where Superman Worked as Clark Kent and not one of those Editors or Reporters could figure it out Superman and Clark Kent were the same people????
This is why I never liked Superman that much, they had the Dumb to Dumber People working at Daily Planet, including Superman breaking down doors and punching out guys that threw guns at him after they shot him 10 times?
The same thing will be asked over and over, how Joe did not know, or did he really cover it up, and was football more important than Children being Victimized? The Media and Public will be brutal and because the Baylor Cases are just the start of a Society that won't admire Football Winning at Women or Children's expense, pain or nightmares to protect cheers and money? Top Coaches will and are now being fired like Briles and Paterno were, and includes University Presidents that won't take action to stop or worse condone it?
On the other hand, if those allegations are not put out in there entirety and look weak and should not have been settled, then Penn State still has some answering to do along with PMA Insurers being asked if you knew to put in Exemption Clauses on Pedophile Coverage's why didn't you do something in 1992??????
Either way, Penn State will still end up with a problem from the Media, Insurers, and Public, or the Paterno's Lawsuit will continue and ask for more information on mistakes made by Penn State for their Lawsuit to continue and come to Trial this year?
I have no idea if the Allegations will be the Kryptonite Material from the Penn State 1966-2011 Football Program Era Fictional Universe of Slogans but not Compliance's that adds to the radioactivity of the current Paterno Legacy or will vindicate Joe never knew until 2001 or 1998?
We shall see after we read and the Media will do the rests either way?[/QUOTE
How is it possible that Joe did not know ? Any reasonable person would come to the same conclusion....
I know many joe bots, the mindset is completely unbelievable, they would still follow him off of a bridge.
Well, it depends on how the Redacted Allegations Unsealed Documents will be given to the Media and what is in them?PittChains....How is it possible that Joe did not know ? Any reasonable person would come to the same conclusion....I know many joe bots, the mindset is completely unbelievable, they would still follow him off of a bridge.
Too bad Ali did not work at the Daily Planet or near and around State College?Captain, Muhammad Ali figured out that Clark Kent was really Superman. But Ali promised Superman that he would not reveal his true identity.

Their "nightmare" would've ended a long time ago had they fessed-up and admitted that they had a monster in their midst.
Instead, they've continued with their efforts to cover-up key issues and dodge the truth.
If true as you say, and not denying you may be right, then there will be serious repercussions on all aspects of the Penn State University Football Program Scandal.The problem is when you have covered up pedophilia by your 2nd in command for 27 years and continue post retirement the truth will ruin the program, school and jokepa.
They needed be truthful back in the 70s or whenever joe first knew. Unless it was known when sandusky 1st was hired. IMO this runs so deep and for soooo long it had to be covered up or Sandusky would have never even been on that staff.
If true as you say, and not denying you may be right, then there will be serious repercussions on all aspects of the Penn State University Football Program Scandal.
This includes Criminal Cases and maybe more Investigations if more Victims come out and then go Public with Horror Stories no one will want to hear but Children Advocacy Groups will demand the removal of all SOL Statute Of Limitations and holding all responsible.
It will be far worse than the first time the Scandal was kept quiet and unpublished until a week after the 409th Win?
The Media will be let loose and relentless and even the NCAA, Big Ten, and Penn State itself may have to take action re-opening all aspects of the sordid past, due to Baylor University Scandal that has captured the rage on putting Football Wins ahead of Women, Children, and Victims!
Today's Society chooses to protect Women, Children, and Victims and no longer give passes to Athletes, Owners, Coaches, Alumni, University Presidents, and other high profile position and earners.The media will be relentless as they should... God forbid if my Son suffered the same as that school allowed..
Those poor victims and families.
This went from the Sandusky Scandal to the Penn St Scandal when the admin knew what happened and did nothing but keep it quiet.
Cheating on an exam or paying an athlete is not in the same category of allowing someone to rape young males!
The Penn St Scandal is the worst scandal in the history of sports!
Today's Society chooses to protect Women, Children, and Victims and no longer give passes to Athletes, Owners, Coaches, Alumni, University Presidents, and other high profile position and earners.
Either live up to that Honor and Privilege of being a Athlete, Leader, or Coach or you will be terminated and no wins, records, or excuses can save anyone today.
No more Special Treatment if Women and Children become Victims! This goes for current, future, and past Coaches too!
Too many other True Examples of Common Talented Men and Women that do it the right way with humility, thankfulness, and deeds in the communities like James Conner, Lebron James, Walter Payton, Mike Trout, Mario Lemieux, JJ Watt, Tim Duncan, Larry Fitzgerald.
As opposed to this Link & Excerpt:
The 11 Worst Scandals In The History Of College Football:
Excerpt:
1. Penn State – Jerry Sandusky
Look, I have a rule – any time your program is found negligent and culpable in the systematic raping of little boys over a span of literally decades you’re going to wind up number one on this list. Call me crazy. There’s no point in recounting the actual details because, well, we all remember them. That’s because this transcended football completely, shocked a nation, and shone an ugly, ugly light on what happens when the culture of football and the veneration of old legends like Joe Paterno becomes so huge that it skews reality and becomes more important to people than the lives of innocent children. Scandal isn’t even an appropriate word here. This was a tragedy.

Exactly. I used to get into discussions with Nit fans about this. They'd point to the headlines in the Pittsburgh newspapers re: Pitt football players getting into trouble, and they'd proclaim that the UPS players never got into that kind of trouble because Paterno knew what his players were doing - all of the time.
But inexplicably, while Jerry Sandusky was being investigated re: rumors of child molestation years before the story broke, we're supposed to believe that Paterno was deaf, dumb, and blind about the slimy activities of his defensive coordinator? C'mon, man - how stupid do they think that people (outside of Happy Valley) are?
Well, if that is true, why the Media hired Lawyers to argue to Unseal the Settlement Documents would make it beyond Pittsburgh and includes Harrisburg, New York, Washington, and Philadelphia!Aww, they closed the comments for this article. I always love to read what the joetards have to say. Must have been a Pitt grad that wrote this because we all know that no one outside of Pittsburgh cares about what happened there, the rest of the country is fine with it.
Well, when Headlines stop you will be right, but until then, it is not over. The Headlines coming back and forth on BWI are more than anything on the Lair?This all rehashment and wishful thinking. To answer the OP's original question, what "nightmare"? The nightmare has ended. There are no more sanctions. That is the nightmare to PSU fans and alum. All of this other stuff is just water under the bridge, history and has been tried and convicted.
To us (Pitt fans) the dream of PSU's football program being sanctioned and diminished, the dream of recruits spurning a toxic, sanctioned program is over. Done. That mostly did not happen, maybe the first year. It is now full speed ahead, business as normal, football is still running the show and calling the shots.
For those supporting Paterno, there is no amount of information or revelation that will cause them to believe anything other than "the Joe they knew" and for most outside of the community, well there really isn't much more that needs to be piled on, we all have a pretty damn good (and I believe) accurate accounts of what went down up there. But Joe is dead. It is hard to punish a dead guy much more than being dead.
So all of this, really what is going to come out of this? There is nothing to politically gain in this. The perp is in jail, the lynchpin is dead, and the 3 other potential plaintiffs are no longer in their capacities and pariahs outside of that insular community.
It's over Johnny. It's OVER!
Well, when Headlines stop you will be right, but until then, it is not over. The Headlines coming back and forth on BWI are more than anything on the Lair?
In addition, you started more "Threads" on Penn State if you go back and look at your own Posting History if you want to be honest about it? I have more Responses to be honest too. So, it will be over when you quit posting 'Threads" too and that is said with respect towards your own insightful as well good comical postings!
However, I do agree, if the Unsealed Allegations Settlements are too vague and too unreliable to be taken seriously, I have no problem with that too, and the Paterno will make sure Headlines are out saying it, as they should too!
Moreover, whether that means when Penn State decides to Honor Joe and Return the Statue or choose to ignore it, and all Lawsuits settled, dismissed, or have a verdict, maybe it will be over at Penn State and iun that way the Paterno Family that filed Lawsuits Nightmare will be over?
It is over for Franklin now on record how his Offense looks great and now that Sanctions no longer affect his Program, Jimmy is predicting a pretty good Offense this year in the latest article, so it is over for him and that is true!
The Reforms were over in 2012 and led to reduction in Sanctions and restoring Vacated Wins. The NCAA Monitor is gone from Campus. The Pre-Trials Motion will be given in a few days with responses 30 days later. The Civil Lawsuits are still in Discovery and will continue to make Headlines! The releasing on Unsealed Redacted Settlements will be out in a few weeks and if no Headlines you will be right?
Yet, on the contrary, should more New Victim's Nightmare emerge and Books, Documentaries and Movies follow, their Nightmares truly never end. As seen how the SPOTLIGHT won the Academy Award and that Scandal is still ongoing and making Headlines?
When the Headlines End it will be over, but Media loves being the ME, ME, ME MEdia!!!
To be fair, the Thread was Entitled When Will the Nightmares End?Let's face it, the only real thing we now have a concern is making their football program and Paterno look bad.
Let's face it, the only real thing we now have a concern is making their football program and Paterno look bad.
Owtie, my Apologies I posted above Franklin is on Record everything seems over and is fine at Penn State. However, here is an Interview showing even Franklin now does not think it is all over yet, but can't wait until FINALITY happens.Let's face it, the only real thing we now have a concern is making their football program and Paterno look bad.
Whatever you say Stephen A Smith
That is something I have pointed out over the last five years numerous, numerous times, using PSU fans words against themselves. You can't have it both ways. Either Joe was this omniscient savant, who was so in tune with all aspects of the program, and players, or he was this bumbling old fool who basically was too feeble and simpleminded to comprehend pedophilia, which also means he really wasn't coaching his team either.
One or the other, and either is condemning in their own ways.
I knew a handler for PSU's athletic department. Heard a couple of guys talking about the messes he took care of at his funeral. He never personally talked about it because he was smart but I'd reckon every school has someone like this. A person to handle little minor things that come up with teenage kids and young men. It's really a matter of how far the school goes to "handle" bigger incidents. As we found out at PSU, they wisely chose to keep things quiet except for a few higher ranking people. That's smart. What wasn't smart was that they never shipped Jerry down the road. They sure didn't hesitate with Bruce Parkhill and his was just a single incident with a young cheerleader (allegedly). Parkhill was even one of Joe's guys!
Therein lies the mystery. If they knew about this stuff in the 70's, even if they didn't completely believe it, why would they take the chance of bothering with Jerry over the long haul? Wasn't for wins. Those would have come regardless.
That's the truth we're all waiting for and that a smart Nit fan should fear.
As far as I'm concerned, it was all about image. Instead of throwing Sandusky under the bus (where he belonged), they played the "business as usual" game. Their thinking was: The cloak of secrecy had been so successful in hiding the football program's "sins" for so many years was still intact, so why not maintain it?Ya know, since this originally came out in what, 2010? 2011? I forget now. That very statement/question you wrote and I put in bold is THE SINGLE BIGGEST QUESTION. Why? Why would they protect Sandusky? My god, if they fired him or let him go and banned him from facilities and being around the team, well that may not morally or totally legally exonerate Paterno and PSU, but at least it would make them seem understanding that you can't have a guy like that associated with your program/school.
But they did nothing. Why? Why didn't they go to the authorities? I think it is obvious.

Their mission was to protect The Image. The Brand. Success With Honor. Happy Valley. "We Are...."
It was collegiate football's version of Camelot. But like Camelot, it was all a fantasy.
This is 100% correct and this is what happens when you go around telling everyone how great you are because when something does happen you have to either swallow your pride and do something about it and eat some crow, or you can try to hide it to save the image you forced down everyone's throat. I believe that's why most Pitt fans hate them, not because of their school, but because the constant arrogance that "we are better than everyone", "we do things the right way", "I can't leave college football to the Sherrills and Switzers of the world", "We are!", and "success with honor." You keep spewing that crap, at some point it will come back to haunt you.
