Breaking news from today shows that top-level administrators, including Joe Paterno, were well aware of Sandusky's actions way back in 1998; although the court case involving Mike McQueary's testimony only went back as far as 2001, nearly four years after the alleged 1998 complaint.

Apparently, Joe Paterno convinced top-level administrators, including President Graham Spanier, Vice-President Gary Schultz, and Athletic Director Tim Curley to keep Sandusky's actions under wraps, and to keep Jerry around as a "Volunteer Position Director-Positive Action for Youth." Strong evidence indicates that is true, if so, it would be a shocking twist to a story that almost made Paterno look like a victim in the situation.
