I might agree with shutting the sports programs down but in the back of my mind I can’t help believing that a lot more schools are equally guilty of the same crime....we just don’t know about it yet.

This could only happen at Penn State, and here's why. Happy Valley is like an isolated Kingdom, it is difficult to get to, it is in the middle of nowhere....the press in big cities, like Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, don't have staff that are based out of Happy Valley...Penn State had tight control over the media, and if you reported anything derogatory about it, you got your credentials pulled. It was very easy there to "nip things in the bud."

I suspect now that this has come out, you are going to see a lot of former Penn State players come out and start saying things about Paterno, that they were afraid to say before.
