Pittsburgh sports-talk radio host Mark Madden is reporting that one-time Nittany Lion heir-apparent football coach Jerry Sandusky was pimping the disadvantaged young boys from his Second Mile Foundation to rich folk in exchange for donations to the Foundation.
He made the revelations on this morning’s (Nov. 10) Dennis & Callahan Morning Show in Boston.
Madden has a track record. He reported in April on the then-unbelievable ugly events that were just revealed to have occurred in Happy Valley.
If you want to see the names of some very prominent people who are likely to have very red faces here is The Second Mile Honorary Board of Directors.
Yes, that’s Andy Reid on there along with Dick Vermeil and Arnold Palmer and a whole lot of sports figures and prominent corporate titans.
One suspects that people are going to start being a lot more careful as to what they let their names get associated with.
Will this be the matter that gets Joe Paterno in the dock? Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly, who one would think is more in the loop than Madden, has said that Paterno is not a target of the investigation into how the school handled the
accusations.
Maybe she is fudging on any unrevealed events but one would be surprised to see JoePa criminally implicated in anything.
And she has refused to say that just-fired University President
Graham Spanier is not a target.
I’m sorry to see JoePa go but I can’t say the same about Spanier who has ruined what had been a great school.
Say what you want, Spanier did put Penn State on the map. It’s pretty neat trick for a university president to get his school world-wide headlines for two separate scandals.
