According to a report from the AP
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Joe Paterno defended his football program's integrity in a 7-month-old letter released Wednesday, a day ahead of a report that could forever mar his legacy.
In the letter, written shortly before his death and confirmed as legitimate by his family, Paterno rejected the notion that Jerry Sandusky's sexual abuse of boys amounted to a "football scandal" or in any way tarnished the accomplishments of his players or Penn State's reputation as a whole.
In a 712-word missive sent by Paterno said about the Sandusky scandal "This is not a football scandal and should not be treated as one" along with this:
"Over and over again, I have heard Penn State officials decrying the influence of football and have heard such ignorant comments like Penn State will no longer be a `football factory' and we are going to `start' focusing on integrity in athletics," Paterno wrote. "These statements are simply unsupported by the five decades of evidence to the contrary — and succeed only in unfairly besmirching both a great university and the players and alumni of the football program who have given of themselves to help make it great."
Really? How divorced from reality does one have to be to think that? I can not wait for the Freeh report tomorrow, if this is a sample, then Penn State is in a world of hurt and should be prepared for a shitstorm of biblical proportions
