Re: Football is back, but Penn State remains embattled
It should be obvious to even someone who doesn’t have any strong feelings about PSU or Joe Paterno such as myself that what was really going on was political opportunism from Corbett to oust Spanier from PSU. I mean how many years had Sandusky been retired, how many years had PA’s Dept. of Public Welfare been placing juveniles in Sandusky’s custody, how many years did Corbett take to make an arrest after allegations were made?
This is not how child sexual abuse is investigated in most normal jurisdictions. Whatever games Corbett was playing as AG and Governor it meant that Sandusky went free to abuse other children. Corbett’s legacy, not Paterno’s.
Pennsylvania’s legacy of corruption and politics over public safety was safe under Corbett.
