I don't think anyone is saying Paterno didn't do a lot of good. He built that program, put that school on the map, donated millions of dollars. That's not the debate. The debate is whether or not he knew about what was going on and if he was part of the cover-up. All information and testimony is saying he absolutely did. Is it hard to believe? Yes. Is it disgraceful? Absolutely. Just because the man was the head of a football program doesn't mean he's immune to having his actions questioned or analyzed. Everyone has skeletons in their closets, even the "good" guys make mistakes. He's human just like all of us...and just like all of us there are consequences to poor decisions or in this case inaction.
