Paterno didn't actually do anything to those children, but he did have a chance to put a stop to a sexual predator, and instead he helped enable him and cover his crimes. It was bad enough when I just thought that he'd ignored what took place and was complacent. Now that it is apparent that he interceded on Sandusky's behalf and caused him not to be reported, his 'good name' will forever be ruined in my eyes. Just reporting what he saw to his bosses and not the authorities is a 'mistake.' Covering up sexual abuse isn't something that I could ever deem a simple mistake. Ever.

That's just it. He had an opportunity to stop this deviant and prevent more young men from suffering.
But....he chose to protect his football program and not lose one of his valued coaches.
And from what I understand, the civil loss suits are numerous against Penn State and people are actually donating to the school to help allay the costs. What is wrong with these people?!?
