The Patriot Post's mission is to advocate for Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and to promote free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. Our objective is to provide Patriots across our nation with a touchstone of First Principles through brief, informative and entertaining analyses of relevant news, policy and opinion from reputable research, advocacy and media organizations, so they may better support and defend those Principles, and enlist others to join our ranks." —Mark Alexander, Publisher
The Patriot Post is not sustained by any political, special interest or parent organization, and we accept no advertising. Our mission and operations are funded entirely by the voluntary financial support of Patriots like you!
I don't know details of the case, but from what I read, Paterno and other officials did report at least some of the abuse but police dropped the case due to lack of evidence. What's Paterno supposed to do at that point? Continue to pursue a case on his own like a vigilante?
If the crimes had a material effect on the outcome of the football games, NCAA would be justified. But NCAA is just wanting to make a statement and punish someone. Too bad Paterno isn't still alive to defend himself.
Regardless of what NCAA says, in my mind, Paterno will alway be the most winning coach in college football until someone else wins 409 games.
