5:52 pm
thing. i mean, it is just, well, something that eats at you. >> you had the unique opportunity today to talk to a lot of, you know, for a lack of a better word, the penn state. now, what was their reaction holding as you were able to talk to the radio ways, now knowing what they know about the free report? >> it is just a couple of reactions that you've got. you know, you don't have a clue about what really happened to penn state and the report, it came on out. that's what they found is joe paterno. and he is evil. those aring strong words. that's what i believe. >> i mean this guy has names on buildings. a statute. it is about to be, you know, put up in his honor. but where does the university go now? >> it is a great question. anything that you do now will be seen as a token gesture. you know, how does taking the statute down help with the victims, not playing a football game, doing one, donating money to a certain charity. how does it help anybody? there is no view for this and they will say well, we have never given a violations or put
5:53 pm
a punishment out for this. we are in uncharted territories. >> should they come to the happy valleys? >> well, eight months ago, you know, they had sanctions on the ohio state football program for the tattoos. and at some point in time, they are going to have to get involved in this and have their own investigations. i don't think that it is done, but the next step for them is to investigate the board of trustees to have the investigation for the independence views on that aspect. we're a long ways from the ncaa handing down a penalty. >> thank you so much. coming up, more of a comment too and we'll get a first hand account from the man who headed up the investigation himself. that comes up at 6:00. still to come tonight on 9news. five years after taylor's murder, a trial may actually start in the tape. i'm chris are tin fisher -- kristin fisher where 11 people were honored today with the good samaritan award, including one man, an 18-year-old credited with saving the life of up to 80 kids at the daycare
