Because it isn’t in the Athletic Department. Change out Hospital with Practice Facility and Resident with Position Coach and it would be on ESPN and elsewhere. I’m not sure it would reach the fever pitch your story got, only because the nature of the crime lacks the graphic descriptions the GJP offered.

I do find it intersting they let the inital investigation drop until November. I wonder what story they might have caught on the news that made them reconsider?

Just read an AP story in this morning’s York Daily Record which says that Syracuse roundball coach Boeheim vigorously defended his longtime assistant Bernie Fine at first because of “two previous claims of abuse against Fine that authorities could not substantiate.”

How is that any different, if not worse, than what happened with Joe at Penn State? People are arguing that Joe “had to know” about the 1998 allegations against Sandusky, yet there has been no evidence produced anywhere that he did. So he apparently was hearing about Sandusky for the first time in 2002. Yet Boeheim clearly did know about previous allegations against Fine. The relevant passage from the article:

“After Davis and his step-brother, Mike Lang, accused Bernie Fine of molesting them when they were boys, Boeheim vehemently defended his longtime friend and assistant coach. He said Davis was lying to cash in on the publicity generated by a sexual abuse scandal unfolding at Penn State University. The Hall of Fame coach later backed off, saying he based his defense on loyalty and two previous claims of abuse against Fine that authorities could not substantiate.”
