You mean odd, like they forced him out because he was investigated for this in 1998 and no one did anything odd?

Like the District Attorney who ran the investigation disappeared, no trace of him has ever been found, except for his laptop with a missing hard drive was found in a river, and after 7 years is just presumed dead, that kind of odd?

Like the kind of odd where an assistant coach retired, but negotiated a retirement contract on his way out the door, a contract that gave him emeritus status--with an office on campus and access to all of the athletic facilities?

They knew. They swept it under the rug. There is no question.

In the grand jury report it makes reference to the guy retiring and get various retirement pension/benefits from Penn St., including a permanant office and other treats. If Paterno was looking for a coaching change on D, it would be believable for the guy to retire then, get pension, and access to facilities.

If true, this is beyond sad. One of the worst stories in sports history. It blows my mind if this was really going on and NO ONE stopped it.

He needs to be fired. So does the President of the university. Just sickening.

BFeldmanCBS: I'd rather hear from the alleged victims families whether Paterno should get to coach another game, not the PennSt brass.

darrenrovell: Going out on his own terms allows Paterno to collect pension & benefits. Being fired obviously doesn't.

If Joe Paterno coaches senior day vs. Nebraska, which would be worse for PSU: protests, boos and signs or an ovation from the crowd?
