Do people really believe this?
No, you don’t tell campus security and then wash your hands of it. You tell the real police and report a crime.
Yes, people who are sheep, swayed by the media and their own closed minded take on a sensationalized story do believe this.

Paterno was the scapegoat of the university and the media (and the sheep fell for it) until the backlash. But, the media, BOT, Admin, succeeded in sullying a good man’s name. They just didn’t expect anyone to fight back and were surprised.
