Mountaineer Man Wrote:In the famous words of Lee Corso, "Not so fast my friend", maybe WE (that includes you and I) need to both take a long hard look at the cover-up that took place at Baylor. This is when Patrick Dennehy was murdered by Carlton Dotson, who for the record is serving a 35 year sentence.
Dave Bliss who was then the coach at Baylor the day after Dennehy funeral, Bliss met with the school investigators and was confronted with the fact that Bliss had paid for part of Dennehy and another players tuition that was not covered by their grant in aid. It was also later discovered that Bliss told his player to lie to investigators by telling them that Dennehy (A deceased player) that he had paid for part of his tuition by selling drugs. Amazingly these conversations were not in an email but on an audio tape. Bliss also threatened to fire an assistant coach if he didn't go along with it.
Now maybe this is comparing "Chicken Salad to Monkey Nuts" I don't know but in my book that qualifies as a "COVER-UP"!
One other thing that really bothers me about all of this case is this. Sandusky has had his day and he is going to spend the rest of his life behind bars and rightfully so. Graham Spanier is going to have his day in court, and no doubt will be spending some time in jail. Tim Curley is going to have his day in court, and no doubt will be spending some time in jail. Joe Pa will never have his day in court in the law of this land, however, I do believe he is being judged by a higher authority.
However, Mike McQueary who saw what was taking place in the shower, why did he not go to the authorities? Furthermore, why is he not being charged with a crime of not reporting it? I was under the impression (and I will take correction if I'm wrong) but if you see a crime of child abuse you are suppose to report it to the authorities?
Makes me wonder for sure.
In the famous words of Keith Jackson " Whoa Nellie". You are still comparing two cover-ups that have little in common. That cover-up was by one coach, not by multiple staff members. By your statement, it also appears that the school took the appropriate action and investigated him for which he was later fired. There was no decade long cover-up by multiple staff members of the University compared to Penn State. Actually the cover-up was probably twenty or thirty years. If Penn State would have taking the appropriate steps and made the report of child abuse, they wouldn't be in the position they are today. They would have received some bad publicity for a while, but it would eventually had blown over. IMO, JoePa, the athletic department and people in the State College community new about or had strong suspicions about Sanduskys lifestyle, but were too chicken$#@ to do anything about it. Football came first to them. I absolutely agree with what you are saying about McQueary as he should have been charged.
