Yesterday we asked what would become of Penn State receivers coach Mike McQueary who, in 2002, stumbled upon 57-year-old former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky raping a 10-year-old boy in the team shower.
McQueary, who was 28 at the time, immediately fled the area. But instead of calling the cops, he called his daddy. They didn’t notify coach Joe Paterno about the incident until the next day.
McQueary, whose father was good friends with Paterno, was named receivers coach for Penn State a short time later — presumably in return for his silence.
On Wednesday, Joe Paterno, 84, was fired for ignoring his moral obligation to the child, and for assisting in covering up the heinous crime for 9 years.
But McQueary was allowed to keep his job even though he did nothing to stop the attack on the little boy.
Yesterday, Penn State announced McQueary will not be on the sidelines when Penn State takes on Nebraska in its final game on Saturday. School officials cited threats made against McQueary’s life as the reason.
According to TMZ, the university released a statement reading:
“Due to multiple threats made against assistant coach Mike McQueary, the university has decided it would be in the best interest of all for assistant coach McQueary not to be in attendance at Saturday’s Nebraska game.”
But the threats weren’t made by angry parents, they were made by the same unruly students who trashed the school hours after Paterno’s firing was announced.
Does anyone at Penn State have any morals?
