Come on this broadcast this afternoon they told our producer they would put us on a quote mailing list.

The Pennsylvania attorney general also refused and she did not want us talking with the lead investigator in this case.

But this is not going away and there is a real chance now of more criminal charges.

Joining me now by phone a senior writer for for Sports Illustrated Lars Anderson Lars.

At you know it is you -- be students taking to the -- to -- to protest the firing of Joseph Paterno.

Suggesting that the news media has exaggerated his role.

In this scandal in which young boys were raped.

By this other coach at Penn State.

Your thoughts -- what.

My thoughts are that this didn't start living inside a bubble and -- don't see the bigger picture.

In that coming out the press conference today.

I'm absolutely flabbergasted.

They aren't shocked that.

Michael Cleary is an assistant coach on that team and who witnessed the act in 2002.

It's still a member of that coaching staff I cannot believe they have not fired him what's the story with -- Well he -- corrupt and broken state college.

He I believe is his family is -- it is close to this and that it and we are pleased de DT June period -- -- -- for a long time.

You just starting quarterback and they.

Then as -- graduate fifteenth 2002.

He's been -- to witness the act what transpired between and -- GM its annual toy in the shower.

And in anyhow.

He was able -- looked at period -- he's hurt and almost -- ten years now in the -- Is beyond me.

And that's Lars that's one of the big questions in this case the graduate student you know he did go to paternal house apparently California the indictment he called -- the head coach -- he's witnessed.

The shower incident with this guy in the left and a ten year old.

And he went to return l.s house and told him what he saw but the one of the questions all along has been how -- how to heat.

The coach himself but he that a graduate student assistant and graduate student.

And now one of the coaches of the team why did he not stopped I don't think it and why did he walk into that shower and sake get your hands off of that child.

I -- at the very good question and you know I I I don't know I can't answer that but.

What I do know is that.

Mike the query -- promoted after this incident happens and you'd you know the -- there are so many more questions that need to be answered.

And the reason that nobody's talking is because there's good there's potential.

Criminal.

Charges pending and you know -- but to me.

I'd just again it's compatible YE will be on the start -- When you hear this coach come out this this new coach Tom Bradley and you know he was apparently understand housekeeping -- accused of the of the abuse for years.

When you -- come out today and say you know in this this is -- -- you know we need to be remembering the seniors on the team this is senior day.

You know yes he did say one comment about that -- let's not forget the victims but.

You know you tell -- -- to the American people today care.

About the fact that it's senior day for the players at Penn State are they focused about the lives that have been ruined.

For these little boys who were innocent victims and -- the crimes against them were apparently covered up years.

Glavine and I think you know the answer that question -- -- thinking about about.

All the victims in this city in the end a huge tragedy.

That was allowed to unfold over the course doesn't nearly a decade because inaction by people like problem query you'll be on the sideline on Saturday you know that -- to meet -- constable -- he could be on the sidelines.

At the university president gets gets fired.

But the guy who witnessed it and didn't didn't stop it while it was happening I'm not I'm not putting all the blame on -- got -- sandusky according to the prosecutors is that true.

Evil man here you know he maintains -- innocence but.

But there are a lot of questions about what they are dubbing a quote conspiracy of silence at this major university where you're talking about the lives of little boys.

Lars thank you so much for coming on.

Big -- for taking your thoughts on Kelly at foxnews.com.
