Why would Paterno need to leave if he had nothing to do with the scandal?

Leaving the scandal aside for the moment -- something that's impossible to do -- there are officials who were trying to get Joe Paterno to retire when his last contract expired. I think Joe beares an enourmous responsibility for what happened, but I can see the university leveraging these events to force Joe out.

It just makes sense to completely clean house after this.....even possibly shutting down the football program for a year, if need be. That’s how ugly this is.

When this is all over, a lot more folks than just JoePa are going to be gone, if not in jail.
