Now, paterno seemed to rule the roost there and if he said jump they said how high, so he could have had the guy removed and did not. That is his downfall here I think, at least based on actual public knowledge at this point.
I suspect more facts will come out that will make joe p look worse, based on the penn state actions. although my experience with higher is ed is they are more ****ed up than governments. knee jerk worked out well for the duke lacrosse team.

That's it right there. He's Joe f-ing Paterno. He could have told the police his own mother did it and they would have looked into it. He should have done more and he should feel bad about it. Some people say that he shouldn't go over anyone's heads but wake up. He was king of the castle. He had been there for decades longer than anyone else.
If he had gone to the police and make it public, then what? Sandusky gets caught and no more children are hurt. Maybe Joe Pa gets fired for his actions but then the whole country demands his job back and he's an even bigger legend there.
