Title: Joe Paterno had close business ties with board members of The Second Mile, Post by: Coach Hank Crisp on December 05, 2011, 06:29:27 PM http://espn.go.com/college-football/story/_/id/7320780/penn-state-nittany-lions-joe-paterno-did-business-leaders-second-mile-according-report?utm_source=twitterfeed&utm_medium=twitter
Quote Paterno and three fellow investors, including longtime Second Mile board chairman Robert Poole, secured financing to build a $125 million luxury retirement community around 2002, according to public records, The Daily reported Monday. Paterno was partnered with that team of investors in developing a golf resort and nearby restaurant and inn, The Daily reported. Paterno also partnered with other current and former Second Mile board members on a bottled water company, a coaching website and a chain of convenience stores, according to the report.

Less than nothing to see here.

Particularly intriguing, I find, is that when JoPa donated his salary to Penn St., it was thought of as a gallant gesture, rather than a tax manipulation by an enabler of a child rapest. It also gives a view through the window as to Paterno's mental health, this as far back as 2002 (I think).

The point is, Paterno invested with some people sort-of affiliated with a bad person. It has nothing to do with the mistreatment of children in any way, shape, or form. So Paterno invested with some guys - ok. Ummmmmm...... no story, zip, zilch, nada.
If it floats your boat, congrats. But this story contains no news of note or intellectual intrigue, and no one in the story did anything wrong as to their investing. |
