“There were 3 emails”
It seems to me that those of you who are defending Paterno are defending the indefensible.
Paterno admitted, prior to his death, that HE didn’t do enough and should have done more. I heard him say it.
What other proof do you need?
He also said that he trusted others to do their jobs -- those who knew more about the situation than him.
Yeh -- he should have done the athletic director's job, the vice-president's job, the president's job, the chief of police's job, the CEO of TSM's job, the DPW's and CYS's job for them -- instead of just his own. But that is not how things work in football, at universities and in life.
In retrospect everybody should have done more -- even YOU.
