That was negotiated as part of his retirement and the ban on bringing children on campus was apparently unenforceable. I don’t think it was acceptable overall given the circumstances, but then again there were no criminal charges in 1998 (which we know now was a huge error). I personally have no idea how much power Paterno had over Sandusky’s involvement after 1999.
There was a clear pattern known to the University after 2002. A lot of University officials are at fault here, but I have no reason to believe Paterno is one of them. By the way, I will personally volunteer to execute Sandusky.

Did you read the grand jury report linked by mewzilla? You are in denial because you admire JoePa. This is typical in child abuse cases. How could JoePa know and not do anything? Well he didn’t stop it after one of his coaches reported the rape of a child to him. A lot of more kids got abused after 2002 because no one at PSU reported it to the police. That includes the coach, JoePa and all the administrators involved up to the President.
Not only did they not stop it they made no attempt to identify the victim of a child rape. That is the most damning fact of all.
