"They (former Athletic Director Tim Curley and former Senior Vice President for Business and Finance Gary Schultz) did not make him understand how serious a situation this might be". Sandusky was convicted on 45 counts and sentenced to 60 years in prison.
"I don't think Graham Spanier knew", he said.
Spanier, 68, who served as president from 1995 until he was forced to resign in 2011, faces up to five years in prison but could receive a lesser penalty under the state's sentencing guidelines. Facing the same felony charges as Mr. Spanier, Mr. Curley and Mr. Schultz cut deals and pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor endangerment count days before Mr. Spanier's trial began, and agreed to testify against Mr. Spanier.
Spanier - like the late Penn State football coach, Joe Paterno - repeatedly said he never knew of Sandusky's abuse.
According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, Penn State has paid an estimated amount of $93 million to more than 30 Sandusky victims since the former coach's trial in 2012. Nearly no one believes any of the convicted will spend much, if any, time in prison.

Samsung had earlier launched the Galaxy Note 7 in India for Rs. 59,900, but it was not made available in the country. On Friday, the company announced a 48-percent increase in estimated operating profits for the first quarter of 2017.
Sandusky was arrested on November 5, 2011, and Spanier resigned four days later-the same day head football coach Joe Paterno was sacked. Several victims testified about what happened to them there.
The charges stemmed from Spanier's handling of a 2001 complaint against Sandusky filed by whistleblower Mike McQueary, who claimed to have seen Sandusky sexually assaulting a boy in the shower.
The jury found Spanier failed to prevent Sandusky from bringing more boys to campus through his charity, thereby endangering the welfare of future victims. The sentiments of board and university leadership were expressed in the very first line of the statement released by Penn State: "First and foremost, our thoughts remain with the victims of Jerry Sandusky".
The Chronicle of Higher Education, following up on former university president Graham Spanier's child endangerment conviction, reported Thursday (http://bit.ly/2nooEuK) that former bank executive Al Lord had told the publication in an email that he was "running out of sympathy for 35 yr old, so-called victims with 7 digit net worth". The ACLU will call you to explain other actions you can take to help. But he insists he did not know Sandusky was a serial pedophile and that he plans to appeal his conviction.
