REMEMBER how paterno was quickly changing things over to his wife's name. One must ask was the family trying to make sure all the T's are crossed and Is dotted.
EDIT: P.S. I don't want to sound cruel but if you look at how somethings where rushed you have to wonder.--at least I have too.

(11,304 posts)first place. However, if you say what I am sure your right why should Mrs JoePa pay for something she had nothing to do with. They were married many, many years. JoePa mistake is he didn't take the problem to the police sooner and he should of fired Sandusky. That would have gone a long way. I mean many people dropped the ball. I don't blame him to making sure his property is changed over to his wife.

The Editor had good sources, and should be reinstated, but won't be.
