Penn State’s Board of Trustees say they removed Joe Paterno because he couldn’t continue to coach effectively under the cloud of suspicion that resulted from the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse case. The same argument now applies far more strongly to the Trustees, Rodney Erickson, Tom Corbett and the NCAA. I think Trustee Karen Peetz has compromised her credibility with her claim that the investigation that Louis Freeh conducted was for the purpose of recommending changes in governance, not to assign fault for Sandusky. I don’t think Erickson can truly lead Penn State, nor can the NCAA regulate college athletics, until we discover all facts in surrounding this case.
