The Board of Trustees of The Pennsylvania State University is outraged by the horrifying details contained in the Grand Jury Report. As parents, alumni and members of the Penn State Community, our hearts go out to all of those impacted by these terrible events, especially the tragedies involving children and their families. We cannot begin to express the combination of sorrow and anger that we feel about the allegations surrounding Jerry Sandusky. We hear those of you who feel betrayed and we want to assure all of you that the Board will take swift, decisive action. At its regular meeting on Friday, November 11, 2011, the Board will appoint a Special Committee, members of which are currently being identified, to undertake a full and complete investigation of the circumstances that gave rise to the Grand Jury Report. This Special Committee will be commissioned to determine what failures occurred, who is responsible and what measures are necessary to insure that this never happens at our University again and that those responsible are held fully accountable. The Special Committee will have whatever resources are necessary to thoroughly fulfill its charge, including independent counsel and investigative teams, and there will be no restrictions placed on its scope or activities. Upon the completion of this investigation, a complete report will be presented at a future public session of the Board of Trustees. Penn State has always strived for honesty, integrity and the highest moral standards in all of its programs. We will not tolerate any violation of these principles. We educate over 95,000 students every year and we take this responsibility very seriously. We are dedicated to protecting those who are placed in our care. We promise you that we are committed to restoring public trust in the University.

Of course. Why let a little pervert pedophile and his heinous crimes problem spoil a perfectly good football game?

Hard to blame them. It's the only thing proven to be effective so far. Otherwise it's Carnes or move Turner from benched WR back to QB.

Rex played qb a little while he was at plano. granted it was a running offense, but still

I love to bash Paterno like the next guy, but based on what's in the grand jury report I really can't say I have a problem with Paterno. Is what he did optimum? no. But I think it's a reasonable reaction that would not be necessarily indicative of a big cover up on Paterno's part.

How about letting a man who he knew raped a child hang around the football program for another decade? This guy was working out at the Penn State athletic facilities as of last week! He was AT PRACTICE WITH ANOTHER CHILD a couple of years ago.

Perhaps Paterno, or the ginger assistant who witnessed the rape, might have run up into the stands at practice and created a giant scene because they knew there was a child rapist sitting there with another child.

Or maybe any one of these people could have called the police 10 years ago and put a stop to this.

Ask JoePa under oath if he would let his grandchildren be alone with the guy
