2005 email from then Penn State VP Vicky Triponey about Paterno’s wish to handle all matters about the football team internally, adding, “Coach Paterno would rather we NOT inform the public when a football player is found responsible for committing a serious violation of the law and/or our student code — despite any moral or legal obligation to do so.” Speculation is that this culture contributed to the Sandusky abuse being so horrifically hidden.
