Joe Paterno has decided that he will step down at seasons end. If it were up to me, he would be done now. No one, and I mean NO ONE, gets a pass when it comes to the health and safety of Americas children. Paterno was informed years ago that his former assistant, and heir apparent, was seen in the shower at Penn State with a 10-year-old boy. He passed that information along to the athletic director and that is as far as he took it. The AD did nothing and now the whole nation is shocked and appalled that something so heinous could go on for so long. 9 people have come forward so far and who knows how many there actually are. Penn State put the University and the football program ahead of the children and for that, everyone involved should go down. Starting with Sandusky, the president, the AD, the assistant that witnessed the act in the shower, and Paterno. He says he wishes that he had done more. Hindsight is 20-20 but those kids will be affected for the rest of their life. An apology and feeling bad for them and their families just doesn't cut it. He shouldn't have any say in when his last game will be. He should be fired immediately. I don't care that they are having a good season and are leading the Big Ten. I don't care how long he has been there and how many games he has coached and won. Most of all I don't care about what his legacy will be. He is in the wrong and should pay.
Sandusky abused all those boys and the University swept it under the rug. Karma will catch up with him. Inmates don't take to kindly to child molesters!
