Mike McQueary maintains he did the right thing after catching Jerry Sandusky molesting a boy in a university shower.

But instead of protecting him as a whistleblower, the former Penn State assistant coach said he believes the university used him as a scapegoat after Sandusky’s arrest last November.

Former Penn State assistant football coach Mike McQueary believes the university used him as a scapegoat after Jerry Sandusky's arrest last year.

McQueary sued Penn State in Centre County for $4 million on Tuesday, the amount he estimates he would have earned coaching football in the next 25 years had Penn State treated him differently.

He alleges Penn State banished him from the sidelines, didn’t allow him to receive the bowl bonus he was entitled, revoked the use of his car in violation of his contract, barred him from interviewing for a job on new coach Bill O’Brien’s staff and delayed his severance pay because he testified truthfully to the grand jury investigating Sandusky.

After Sandusky was arrested, then President Graham Spanier publicly backed two top officials charged with perjury. By then it was publicly known McQueary was the graduate assistant who saw Sandusky molesting a boy. In the suit, McQueary said Spanier, and by extension the university, suggested McQueary lied about what he saw, defaming him.
