Joe Paterno's Family Begins Reputation Repair Work

A new report commissioned by Joe Paterno's family challenges the conclusion by former FBI director Louis Freeh that the late Penn State coach conspired to hide child sex abuse allegations against former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.
The Paterno family's critique, released Sunday, argues that the findings of the Freeh report published last July were unsupported by the facts.


Former U.S. Attorney General Dick Thornburgh, one of the experts assembled by the family's lawyer to review Freeh's report last year to Penn State, said the document was fundamentally flawed and incomplete.

Clearing Paterno will be financially beneficial to his family.I'm not trying to discredit their efforts or intentions,but every source I read mentions "settlements".The family can't actually believe Joe knew nothing of this.It's about money in the long run.

Yeah....ok.



JoePa's reputation will never be "repaired". He ruined it by looking the other way for decades. He ruined lives by not speaking up, by allowing Sandusky to keep a key to a private office and the showers AFTER he was forced out due to accusations of misconduct. JoePa didn't care.

This effort by his family actually makes it look worse. If that is possible.

JoePa's family could make a difference by reaching out to the abused victims and maybe initiating a fund in his name to be used to help with care and protection of pedophile victims. THAT may help clear his name or at least the surviving family's name.
