Writing about the Jerry Sandusky sexual abuse scandal that has torn through Penn State and the national media is a slippery business for SportsOlogy. We are not traditional journalists; we don't have access to the same resources available to traditional journalists. That limits us in terms of providing meticulously researched profiles on the figures involved in the Sandusky scandal. What it does allow us to do, however, is provide you with a broad scope of the story and to report news items which conventional news sources cannot publish. With that in mind, we believe it is important to make you aware of a rumor that Jerry Sandusky "pimped out young boys to rich donors" involved with his Second Mile charity.

Timeline Of Jerry Sandusky Sex Abuse Story
These allegations have been published by Business Insider, but they originated from Pittsburgh radio host Mark Madden, who spoke on WEEI show Dennis and Callahan about the Sandusky scandal. Madden wrote an article for the Beaver County Times in April -- APRIL! -- of this year which claimed Sandusky was forced out of his defensive coordinator job in 1999 because of inappropriate contact with children. The article went largely unnoticed, but the allegations turned out to be dead on. While there has been no confirmation from a third party, this rumor has the distinctive feel of truth. Madden risks his personal reputation by claiming Sandusky acted as a pimp; it's possible that he would do so for a few minutes of fame, but considering the subject matter and his previous work, it seems likely that he has some good information.
That said, it's still just a rumor. We'll keep our eye on it, though, because the social media sphere has been buzzing with talk of another bombshell the attorney general might drop in the near future. Again, we're reporting rumors here because we have the leeway that other outlets do not. As soon as more information becomes available, we'll have it for you here.
