They have from morality this man stands for everything that -- against morality you -- to what you liked of the grand jury.
We now know that he knew about the first 1998 incident involving Jerry sandusky there was suspicion then he certainly knew about the 2001 incident.
And tried to squelch it.
From authorities reporting it to the the -- department of welfare.
What I know he's dead -- -- tripling of the dead the -- with Joseph Paterno was not a good man like too many men of power he was brought with it he thought it was a mortal and I frankly think you with a -- -- -- story.

Although why -- -- awarded to -- -- Richard right men arrived.
-- as a way to solve that the which is to release that these kids who -- -- or innocence in this.
Released -- for the scholarship commitments the Penn State and let them go to obviously.
Other schools without waiting at the customer customary period of -- year so they do get protected but -- -- -- the punishment all the time that affect innocent people.
And if this school it's serious if they're really serious about reducing the football culture that -- this.
This is the natural next step this is that stepped that this is what happens we have to reduce that we're gonna reduces.
And you know what happy -- will continue.
And may -- The purpose of the school which is academic will get better but I don't think they're gonna do look at them saying I'm sorry.
