Maybe they asked him and he answered honestly?

I don't think testimony in a civil suit is enough to prove that he lied or grounds for termination.

Fair points.

Fair points again but I don't agree with the negative recruiting stuff. That would be a major stretch and I'd bet any amount of money that neither UCLA or OSU recruiting will be affected but his. Barring any new revelations this really hasn't been that big of a news story.

I think my overall point is that it's easy to be flippant about someone's livelihood and be on some scorched earth 'FIRE EVERYONE' shit while sitting behind a keyboard . It becomes a witch hunt and conceivably should go beyond football coaches. You have an administrative staff, academic support staff, strength and conditioning staff, athletic training staff, etc., etc. all of who had deep ties to the football program and conceivably should have known something. Are all of these people unemployable now? Wasn't there a janitor who witnessed Sandusky in the shower?
