He’s right, of course. Someone should tell the interim Penn State President, who might have at least mentioned the victims and their families in his self-serving announcement on ESPN.

Paterno was the $1.2M per year CEO of Penn State Football Inc, a $91M enterprise. As always - “follow the money”.

Someone should also tell ESPN.
