He took the fall because the university wanted to protect its image first and not address the facts of the case the right way.hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6319982385052710495.post-34221849264583351902012-01-23T11:31:56.520-05:002012-01-23T11:31:56.520-05:00Unfortunately all it takes is one scandal to wipe ...Unfortunately all it takes is one scandal to wipe away all the good one person did.<br /><br />This cloud hung all over Paterno and Penn State despite everything. Worst of all I blame the media for making it seem like it was Paterno's fault! He did tell his supervisors about Sandusky but his bosses chose to not turn him in. I wouldn't be suprised if "Joe Pa" had been threatened to keep quiet due to the good times he brought to the Penn State program. <br /><br /><br />I have no doubt that Paterno died of a broken heart; despite all he had ever done in his life and career, he'll always be linked with this molestation scandal.magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
