Matt Millen played for Penn State from 1976-79. His position coach was Jerry Sandusky and he serves as an honorary board member of the Second Mile charity that Sandusky started.

The ESPN announcer was on the network and offered his perspective on the scandal at his alma mater and the future of his former coach.

Here is a link to the complete video.

"The simple answer would just be 'hey this guy needs to go, can him'" Millen said. "But this is the United State of America the last time I checked. And the last time I checked, you are innocent until proven guilty on all the things and it's far-reaching. And so what I think we may need to do is divorce ourselves from the emotion of the moment because ... it is a pretty polarizing topic."

He then got emotional when speaking about the situation.

"I get mad and it's ... it's pretty disturbing." Millen said before pausing. "It makes you sick to see that this could happen to this level, If in fact that it has happened, then there's a part of me, like I mentioned earlier, viscerally that you just want to go and take care of it yourself which is what I have always done and which is the wrong thing to do.

"This more than a program. This is more than a football legacy. This is about people. And if we can't protect our kids, we as a society are pathetic. And so, that's where I stand on it."

He then reflected on his relationship with his former position coach.

"Jerry Sandusky is your next door neighbor," Millen said. "He's the guy you known your whole life. He's a helpful guy. He's a light-hearted guy. He's a smart guy. He's a willing-to-help person. He's everything you want. That's the thing that's just ... could you see it coming? I've sat here. I have know the guy since 1976. I've been in meetings with him. He's been in my home. ... I couldn't even imagine this. I got to think that's the same thing coach Paterno is thinking."
