Because at THAT point PSU Staff literally SAW it with their own eyes.

and THIS ^^^^is proof that the higher-up's covered it up. Why did nobody call the police at that point? Over the course of THREE days, nobody called the authorities?

>The graduate assistant hears from Curley. He is told that
>Sandusky's locker room keys are taken away and that the

Definitely a cover-up at this point.

I'm not one of those calling for the Old Man's head. But he DEFINITELY should've followed up on it, once he told the AD, etc.
