Did Joe Paterno get due process from the University?

Well, it looks like the Bored of Trust-Fees at State Penn has decided that Joe Paterno is guilty of something. What it is, they don't know. In fact, from the video that I watched, their spokesman said, and I quote, "we don't know all the facts..." So I guess 46 years as being the "face of Penn State" just gets tossed on the trash heap.

Not saying that Joe shouldn't go. It WAS his football program, and the coach that is ACCUSED of wrongdoing was part of his coaching staff. But how can people make judgments when the case hasn't even gone to court yet?

I guess the "Media Circus" is how we try and convict people in this day and age. 46 years of a man's life, dedicated to a university that he loves, down the tubes in favor after a few sound bytes are broadcast.

    Definitely not. This was a knee-jerk reaction by a bunch of pencil-necked hypocrites. I hope every one of those trustees go out and get a nice steak dinner...and choke on it.
