Did those to whom JoPa reported the situation come back and say “it was no big deal, the kid didn’t see what he thought”?

Since Curley & Schultz told the grand jury it was just "horseplay", I'm guessing they told something similar to JoePa.

Which gets to the point, namely there was a coverup. If Paterno was part of it, he should be hung. At this point, though we can dismiss that.

The question that bugs me is why was there a coverup?

Status and reputation, law suits. What some people will do to protect their status and reputation is beyond me.
