So Paterno knew that Sandusky was showering with little boys, and knew that there were witnesses to some pretty bad events, and he brought it to the attention of his bosses, but they didn’t follow through. So Paterno did his part, right?

And in spite of knowing this.... he continued to allow Sandusky to have full access to the PSU athletic facilities through 2011.

And poor old Joe was just a naive old man who didn’t even know these types of acts were possible. Riiiiiiiight.

I think many knew about Sandusky. He was never offered a head coach position at any other university dispite that winning record. Why ?

And in spite of knowing this.... he continued to allow Sandusky to have full access to the PSU athletic facilities through 2011.

His access to the facilities with kids was cut off after 2001. As a matter of fact when the administration was negotiating Sandusky's retirement agreement back in 1998 Paterno specifically requested that none of Sandusky's 2nd Mile kids be allowed into the football facilities for liability reasons. He was overruled.
