BELLEFONTE - Former Penn State assistant football coach Mike McQueary, tagged early as a villain in the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse case, got a large measure of vindication Thursday.

After being sworn in, one of the first things Gov Wolf should have done was request all non-alumni elected BOT members to step down. The damage to Penn State wrought by these incompetent fools will take decades to repair.
