How does McQueary sleep at night? Is the locker room where McQueary saw Sandusky and the kid still used by the players at PSU? If so, it should burned to the ground.
Maybe the adm is afraid of more student riots if McQueary is let go too. The place should have had a house cleaning as soon as this story broke.
I was about to almost defend McQuery, since he told the head coach, the man in charge, what happened. But *******, you don't let that pervert keep coming around and using PSU to seduce kids while running some big at-risk kid charity affiliated with the school knowing full well it's probably a cover to meet little boys -- for TEN YEARS. You're right, un-******* believable.
Having read who his father is, what his father does and how close his father and family are to Joe and the PSU family I wonder if he was a victim of Sandusky. I am not saying he is and I am NOT saying if he was that this would be an excuse. If not, it goes to show how cult like this was and why his shitbag father gave such bad advice to he 28 YEAR OLD SON. Serious synaptic misfiring somewhere and for some reason.
Here is a pretty extensive article with things we know already from a couple of days ago. But it is in depth and has some good photos putting faces to names in all of this. It even has a photo of Sandusky's home. I found it interesting. article with photos of Sandusky and others
I haven't read the GJ report so I'm not sure what efforts he took. But initially, he did what he should have and reported it upstream. Then if he cooperated with those investigating he was still doing what he should have done. But at some point, when he learns nothing has happened and the bad guy is still around, he had a new duty to do something else.
Are you kidding? He walked in on them! What he should have done initially was attempt to stop Sandusky from anally raping a 5th grader in the shower. But instead, he reports it once and then looks the other way for 9 years.
This does not constitute WhistleBlower status. This was an individuals crime against another human. A whistleblower is when someone informs a regulatory authority on a corporations behavior. Please correct me if I am wrong but this guy was not only morally wrong but criminally as well. We must be missing something here.
SOUTH AUSTIN....I thought about that the other day.... IF I were that beautiful girl's DAD....Mr. Cleve would better still be in hiding....just sayn'
Definitely not as egregious as Paterno and the AD, imho. He was a peon. He's not supposed to know what to do. The people that were supposed to do something... Where the buck stops... did nothing. He is still culpable, but not to the degree of the others. I still don't think he should be coaching... but they need to have somebody left to call-plays, right? If not for McQueary, this thing may have stayed in the dark for many more years.
And what kind of dirt must Sandusky have had on the program... he was STILL allowed on campus... just not with boys after 2002. This thing has to go deeper.

Just heard on ESPN that board of trustees has asked interim HC to not have McQueary "on sidelines". Don't know what that means, can he be upstairs? And don't know why, for his safety? But this may also portend some action against him. As Mark May emphasized, McQueary, a 28 year-old man, did not intervene, waited until next day to report to HC and did not follow-up to make sure police were notified. I tend to agree. There was a cover-up and it began with McQueary. Seems like board of trustees is only entity to recognize this, and they've done so only under outside pressure.
McQueary parlayed his part into 9 years employment at Penn State, 8 of which were in coaching. Not sure about the rest of the you, but at 28 years old there is no way I run away from anyone sodomizing a child. 28 YEARS OLD, not a college 18 year old. A big guy, former nfl qb. Runs off like a little girl and calls his dad. Probably saw Paterno the next day to work out his employment contract.
Something doesn't smell right about his story. 1) McQuery, 28, a 6'4" former Penn State and NFL QB ran away to his daddy when he walked in on a horrific crime, an assault on a child...that defies most sensibilities 2) The child has never been identified... I can only think of very few scenarios where such athletic man would run away from such a situation.
What Ivan said. I would like to think I would have handled this situation better at age 15 than this guy did at 28. All the years since then he's been seeing this creep around the campus, associating with kids, and done nothing. No excuse.
Paterno should have done more, but he fulfilled his legal obligation. He can argue that he assumed the matter was investigated and found to be false. He can argue that. Probably bs, but he can argue it. What is McQueary's excuse. As the one who witnessed these horrible acts, he should have been screaming from the mountain top to have that Sandusky piece of **** thrown in jail. He should have, at the very least, intervened when he saw it. He, too, is a piece of **** and why he's getting a pass is mind boggling. Let me make clear, that I in no way am defending Paterno, only pointing out what his assumption may have been.
If anyone here is going to the game. I will personally pay for your bail if you hop the fence and kick McQueary's ***.
Gasman, That is exactly why McQueary should not be on the sidelines. He probably deserves it, even he might have been a huge Puss when he saw what was happening, but I would not be at all surprised if someone did try to do something like that on saturday if he is on the sideline.
