The move is raising speculation it was done to protect an asset in the event he is found personally liable for negligence in the Sandusky case. His lawyer said it was merely another step in a multi-year estate planning process. Would be interested in OK4P's take on this.

LOL, yeah...part of a multi-year estate planning process. They just happened to do it now. Give me a break.

He is making all of the moves that screams he was either involved directly or had firsthand knowledge of what was going on.

Well, to be fair, he does have more time to worry about trival things such as his estate, now that he is not coaching and harboring a pedophile. #sarcasm

Another admission of guilt, imo.

It makes total sense, and is just an indication he's getting quality legal advise. Of course he's going to get sued over this, it's America, a place where you can spill coffee on yourself and sue the restaurant because they gave you hot coffee.

Bottom line it's something a smart person would do regardless of whether they thought they were guilty or not.

He's also making all the moves that someone who is innocent would make also.

Exactly. Paterno is going to get sued (among many other people). I'm not going to begrudge someone for taking legal advice.

Also for anyone out there, if you get accused of something of significant magnitude whether you did it or not get an attorney. A person who represents themselves has a fool for a client.

I think the fact that he made this move less than 4 months before all of this came out is what is raising some eyebrows.

that is correct. my wife as full ownership of our house. plenty of legit reasons to do what Paterno did. why did he do it? only he, his wife and his advisors know.

[Cyclones17]

Guys he did this 4 months ago. I don't know if he was getting legal advice than. I think this may just be a coincidence

[ColoradoHAWKEYE]

he knew he had given statement to grand jury, and knew sooner or later this would come out. just being protective, no fault in that.

[9YRPLAN]

just another thing that uninformed people will blow out of proportion without any basis or reason. the title of this thread is a good example.

Isn't it possible that 4 months ago JoePa had some idea that this was going to happen?

Considering that he went before the grand jury in like March? Yeah.

Just think about that: Paterno knows something bad is coming for months. Yet, he goes into this season anyways, when the storm could hit at any moment. And when it hits, he still tries to pull a Jedi mind trick on everybody.

Which just goes to show how huge this man's ego was when the news broke and he still refused to step down immediately.

You guys have it all wrong... He's getting rid of all assets so that medicaid can pay for his nursing home stay
