Mike McQueary, the graduate assistant who testified to seeing Jerry Sandusky rape a 10 year old in the shower was supposed to coach the sidelines for the Penn State/Nebraska game on Saturday. That has all changed. First McQueary was told he wasn’t to coach on Saturday because of death threats. As of Friday night, he was placed on indefinite leave.
The press originally described McQueary as a graduate student. The picture painted of him made one think of some little nerd who just happened to trip over this horrible scene in the shower rooms. That picture was rather disingenuous. Mike McQueary was the starting quarterback for Penn State during the 1997 season. In 2000, he joined the staff as a graduate assistant receivers coach. He never worked for Sandusky, who had retired before McQueary came on board as an employee.
