I happen to agree with you completely. Sandusky is going away for a long, long time but this disgusting blemish will not be scrubbed off the Nittany Lion for years. It’s time for the page to be turned. The only monkey wrench in that plan is that Paterno (and Penn State) will not want it to look like Joe was forced out or “resigned in disgrace”.
My guess is that Joe will get one or two more years, tops, with the hope that Sandusky will be tried and sent away in the meantime. Penn State wants to have a nice send-off party for Paterno, complete with a statue, and accolades, and speeches, and the sooner the Sandusky matter is settled, the better.
PSU will win the Big10 title, get a good bowl game, win, and probably end up ranked from #5-#7..depending on how things break. A great season. But this scandal is all anyone will talk about...it will totally ruin it for the university and the team...it will taint everything...that's all anyone will talk about.
The two clowns resigned last night. The president will also be forced out for his stupid statement supporting them. He's an idiot, not fit to run a great university.
Paterno will be told after the season, quietly, to retire. He will.
Sandusky will commit suicide.
Listening to several PA radio and television sports analysts indicates to me that he may not make it to the end of the season.
