In the past week dangerous allegations have been coming out of Happy Valley. Penn State University's AD has been indicted on a perjury charge of lying to a federal court. Tim Curley, told the courts falsified facts on his knowledge of Jerry Sandusky's sexual abuse case. Jerry Sandusky was a defensive coordinator for the PSU football team until he "retired" in 1999. Sandusky opened a foundation to help youths with special needs. Sandusky went on to sexual abuse eight of the kids in his foundation. Each child was a minor. Penn State University failed to report their knowing to federal courts and University officials part of the cover up are being fired left and right. This story is rocking both the sports and news world. It makes you question how the leadership of these student athletes have is affecting their decision making. If their superiors can't set a positive example for these kids how can we expect these players to act any differently. Last year Coach Jim Tressel of Ohio State was exposed for breaking NCAA rules and now legendary coach, Joe Paterno of Penn State is facing a similar situation. Both of these men were seen as "god fearing" Christain men with high moral ethics, Jim Tressel paid the price with his job,will Joe Paterno lose his job too?
