So you are saying that if Joe Paterno, the GOD of Penn State football, had gone to the University and demanded they be rid of Sandusky, that they would not have done so?

If you believe that then you seem to be the one with the fantasies on the brain.

The next question should be, why DIDN’T JoePa demand that Sandusky not be allowed anywhere near his program? Wasn’t the hallmark of the PSU program “Success with Honor”? Should Paterno have done that if he had any concern whatsoever that something of this nature was going on.

Sandusky was still holding football camps and recruiting on behalf of the football program.

Paterno MAY have abided by the law. But wasn’t his reputation and the reputation of his program supposed to be about much more than doing the minimum? And to think PSU fans criticized Jim Tressel and OSU.

I think the problem here is that you think Paterno actually has divine powers. If Paterno demanded of Curley and Spainer that Sandusky be banned after he got his retirement package, they would have put their arms around his shoulders and explained why they couldn't do that.
