Penn State puts wide receivers' coach on leave

You don't really think the few hundred(many times much less) fans that show up to a softball game, which often only costs a few $, provide enough money for those nice fields so many schools are building, do you?

A few hundred? Most college parks, aside from programs that are perenial top ~ 30 D1 teams, only seat a few dozen, and even those are mostly empty.

Here is a pretty good timeline and map of the incidences. http://media.philly.com/images/111211_SCANDALGRAF13.jpg

Former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky proclaims innocence in NBC interview - ESPN

Ugh. That 1998 thing is very ugly and it just got worse from there. I'm nauseous.

This is being discussed a little. The DA in the Sandusky case, has been missing for years and was declared dead. Missing DA investigated Sandusky case | HLNtv.com

Ruh-roh. Waiting for the other shoe to drop on this one.

I did not cacth the Sandusky-Costas interview last night but I heard a few clips this morning and Sandusky's answers to a few of the questions are beyond creepy.

I caught excerpts on the radio as well and part of me suspects there's a pathos here that goes well beyond the mere belief that he can get away with anything. I think it's foolish for him to be making any public statements right now, which speaks to his arrogance IMO, but if you listen to his own words, he doesn't seem to feel he's done anything wrong. By his own statements, he doesn't see anything wrong with showering alone with young boys or engaging in 'horseplay' with them while showering naked.

But therein lies the rub, no pun intended. If he truly believed there was nothing wrong with his actions, why did he make efforts to keep his activities concealed? I guess using a public shower isn't exactly trying to hide what he was up to, but why was he only with one boy, not a group, not that that would've made it any better?

SoftSocDad, I agree with you. I watched the interview and I think that I would have found Sandusky creepy, w/o knowing the charges. I have to wonder about his wife. She would be about 65 and either is blind to his crimes, or is stuck there because she can't support herself. I see that 2 of their grown adopted sons, have taken leaves from their football jobs. Evidently, Sandusky has no natural children.

His backyard backs up to a grade school playground, while he is free on no bond. (He doesn't have to pay, unless he fails to show up at court.)

Why am I not surprised he lives right by a playground?

I know it's the NY Post, but according to this story, Sandusky's lawyer has a thing for the young ones, too. He is not known to have committed any crimes, but he did impregnate a girl when she was just 16 and he was in his late 40s. As was mentioned before, these guys have ways of finding one another.

Too bad it's not a pheromone, I'd put some on a post 50' out in the Pacific and sit on the beach with a case of beer.
