Paterno, Penn State president Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley and vice president Gary Schultz "failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade." This conspiracy of silence enabled Sandusky, convicted last month of 45 counts of sexual abuse of young boys, to continue to prey on his victims, often in the Lasch Building -- steps from Paterno's office -- or on trips to bowl games, the Freeh report concluded.

Consequently, out of the 10 young boys that Sandusky would be convicted of sexually assaulting, most of them were abused after he was investigated in 1998[107] — at least five of them were assaulted "at Penn State’s football facilities and other places on campus after May 1998".[108] After his retirement in 1999, the report notes that Sandusky continued to have “unrestricted and unsupervised access to the University's facilities and affiliation with the university's prominent football program. Indeed, the continued access provided Sandusky with the very currency that enabled him to attract his victims".

I agree Sandusky did it, and where he did it. What is also known is that Paterno’s schedule was rigid, and known by Sandusky. So of anyone, Sandusky would be the one who could work around it.

If Paterno exposed Sandusky when he found out, that would not have negatively impacted the Penn State Football program. To the contrary, it would have held up Paterno as morally strong. And no one, to my knowledge, ever accused Paterno of molestation himself. So where’s the motive to hide anything? Paterno would have had more of a motive to expose it.
