Never.
People have it in their heads Paterno knew what was going on and protected Sandusky and nothing will ever convince them otherwise.
I hate Penn State admin and board for what they did to Paterno before and after his death. By their actions they are scapegoating a dead man who never had his day in court. And would not have even if he lived because there is no evidence against him.
They even took away the family's ability to clear Joe's name through legal means with their rediculous agreement with the NCAA.
What? Did you just bury McQueery's account and testimony about what he saw -- and his meeting with Paterno the next day reporting to Paterno what he saw?

When JoePa was still alive, Scott Ostler wrote a great column addressing this argument: Penn State's Joe Paterno gets what he deserves
From the Ostler column: With responsibility comes responsibility."
From the column: "With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more," Paterno said in a statement. That's pathetic. You need hindsight to tell you that you must do whatever you can to stop a dangerous criminal?
From the column: Several e-mailers demand, "Have you ever heard of due process?" The due process I've heard of involves a justice system and a legal trial. Paterno faces no legal action or charge. Legally, his rear end is covered. But there was no trial when Paterno was sainted, no jury declared him one of the noblest and finest college coaches of all time. The public decided. It's the same deal on the flip side...
