Completely disagree. He should have and could have done more in his position. Have you read the grand jury testimony?Pretty sad that this is how one of the greatest coaches in sports history is leaving. Not saying Paterno didn't do anything wrong in this scandal but he's catching way too much criticism for this.
Not contacting police the second he was told is unforgivable. His entire career is marred by this.
Guess the scandal caught up to him.
Possibility of a child prostitution ring being uncovered by the sound of upcoming allegations. The worse news may have yet to hit. And Penn State fans are rioting over Paterno getting fired. Somehow managing to be more pathetic than the Vancouver riots.
After reporting it to school officials in 2002 when he found out about Sandusky, Paterno fulfilled his legal obligation. Failing to report it to the police when it became apparent that school officials weren't going to do anything - the next day after he reported it and Sandusky hadn't been arrested - he failed in fulfilling his moral obligation to inform the police. He did nothing, absolutely nothing, for NINE YEARS.
I hate the phrase, "Epic fail," it's become so trivialized, but it fits here perfectly.
where'd you hear that
Well here we go:

Mark Madden wrote an article back in April about Sandusky's child rape allegations that have now exploded and he believes that an even worse allegation that will come to light is that the Second Mile Foundation, the organization/home Sandusky created for troubled children decades ago, is where he not only found his victims, but from where he pimped them out to other wealthy male donors.
He had to get fired. But what a sad bizarre end to a great coaching career. Who would have ever thought Joe Pa's career would end in disgrace. Not contacting police the second he was told is unforgivable. His entire career is marred by this.
Even before reading this "rumor," I felt that may be the case.
A place for people to rent troubled little boys.
Anyone that didn't have the brains to call 911 when this was happening were all enablers to Sandusky. JoePa is part of that group.
He should have known better. Good riddance.
I read the 23 pages, and it looks like the victim count is 17 (at last read). It will escalate (I fear).
Yeah if it's true about Second Mile, the number will be way beyond what it stands currently just from that one monster. That's spanning generations, that place has been around for 30 something years. This reminds me waaaay too much of the Boys Town child prostitution ring that was uncovered back in the late 80s, early 90s that at a time reached a fever pitch but then died down in the media when a few other people "died down" as well. This story even has that aspect to it. Look up Former Penn. DA Ray Gricar, who was investigating claims of sexual abuse by Sandusky back in '98.
