I'm not attacking you, it just amazes me that people actually think he did enough or shouldn't have risked his job for it. Clearly the "what if's" are pointless as well because Im sure people would say I wouldnt care if I lost my job because I dont make the money he does. Then again, what if it was someone you knew that was the victim or even a relative, would his reasoning still be good enough then. No matter what, this is way bigger than Paterno and his career, its about the innocent children that had tough lives to begin with only to be betrayed by a man who was supposed to be there to help. I hope they keep him under supervision 24/7 so he cant kill himself and deal with the consequences. These people have to live with this for the rest of their lives, so should he.

lol what are you talking about dude. paterno had no evidence nor did he eyewitness anything. in paterno's defense he brought it up to the people he should have and it was on the university at that point to do something about it. paterno without proper evidence probably just dismissed it as rumors to ruin a guys career. remember INNOCENT until PROVEN GUILTY. but i guess everyone here is on their high horse and cant give the guy the benefit of the doubt.
