Paterno

Joe Paterno died last Sunday after having lived for 85 years.

My thoughts and prayers are with him, his family and close friends.

Challenge anyone who believes that they know what was in this man's mind, heart, or soul.

Tell those individuals that they will only ever truly know themselves in this world. If they challenge you about that perfect truth, ask them to prove otherwise.

Joe Paterno, 'journalism' and Penn State

Paterno

Joe Paterno was stated to be in serious condition tonight, as he continues his battle with lung cancer. Reports by some news outlets have 'apparently' noted that he had passed away earlier in the day. So, we will have to see what transpires over the next day+ in this regard.

As we move further away in time from the Jerry Sandusky caused scandal, I can't help but think of how the entire situation represents corporate culture.

Schools that are actually corporations

Penn State, like every other large university and many large public schools, is actually a corporation for all intents and purposes. You can call them schools, land-grant institutions, publicly funded school districts, or whatever you like. But, the reality is that these multi-million dollar entities (as in hundreds of millions, or in some cases more than a billion dollars) all follow the money trail.

ANYONE WHO HAS EVER WORKED FOR A CORPORATION KNOWS THAT ONE PERSON DOESN'T DICTATE A DECISION, THERE IS A CHAIN OF COMMAND WITH MANY LINKS RATTLED ALONG THE WAY. 

As such, Paterno didn't decide how the Sandusky matter should be handled. He, like everyone else, was forced into dealing with that unsavory matter. Most, if not all, of people who were drug into this problem were confronted with this  type of situation for the first time in their lives. It was weird and they didn't know what to do, plus the invisible trustees wanted to protect the 'brand'.  

If Paterno was so powerful, he wouldn't have been ousted in the manner that he was. The people who did so are the same ones, or on the same level of people, who decided how the Sandusky response was going to be handled in the past.

Sandusky, his family, friends + lazy journalism

I believe that Jerry Sandusky deserves the attention in this matter.

In all directness, the first person who should have stopped that behavior/crime(s) was him. We humans aren't animals. Our developed brains set us apart from those lower life forms and with that Sandusky had the free will to stop himself. He chose not to.

Never let anyone convince you that people don't make choices. Everyone in this situation did to varying degrees.

His family should have done something, as it's impossible to conclude that none of them knew about his problem. And what about his close friends? The responsibility for this situation would then fall on his employer and all connected co-workers.

But, it would be difficult work to track down all of the people connected to this situation. Of course, many of them aren't famous either. It was far easier to locate Paterno, along with the powers to be at Penn State, and then seize on them.

Joe Paterno was never the person most responsible for stopping that situation. He sits far down the logical chain of responsibility in this matter.

By the way, don't forget that most media outlets are branches corporate entities as well and they have their own established methods of work.

Penn State

The hiring of Bill O'Brien (no relation to me) is the next step for Penn State's football program.

Regardless of whatever may happen in the courts during an indefinite future, O'Brien will lead a group of young men on the field into uncharted territory.

Who really knows what damage has been done to this University's reputation, or what consequences may be imposed upon their athletic program moving forward.

Sandusky

For me, no matter what anyone says, thinks, feels, or believes, I know that Jerry Sandusky is the person who was, is and will be the most responsible for this entire scandal.

I know that many people have allowed themselves to become overly distracted by all of the other players in this dark sports drama.

Life is messy and not all people are heroes.

Only the self-righteous have said what all of the people who were dragged into that mess should have done. They are wrong and should not be judging a situation that they have never been in.

The most important individuals in this matter were the children who were victimized and their families whose lives were/are affected.

Of lesser importance, were the secondary victims - meaning every other person who was forced to react to the situation....Mike McQueary, Joe Patero, and on and on and on and on.
