I see what you mean. That’s a good point. It is ironic that had the Sandusky situation been addressed immediately and throughly, there would have been significant pain but not nearly what the coverup has led to today. Penn State might well be largely recovered by now.

As it is, this scandal will be a yoke around Penn State’s neck for decades to come.

I agree with earlier posters who surmise that Spanier and the gay takeover of the campus over the past 15 years, combined with the attendant political correctness and liberal immorality that goes with it, contributed mightily to the current scandal. When you lay down with dogs you wake up with fleas.

Possibly but my guess is that Sandusky had the goods on some one high up and Spanier would have been gone.

The scandal would have largely been the same for the victims involved, but they would have rec'd help sooner. And the number would be fewer -- at least the still to crop up number.

Since 2002-2003 years were the down years for Paterno, it might have been used as the reason to dump him. But had it come out then, no cover-up scandal...other than them figuring out what went on in '98 as to how it wasn't prosecuted.

Would a non-Paterno head coach have had a 11-1 season in '05 with a few less good recruits? Who knows?

But you're right: "...this scandal will be a yoke around Penn State’s neck for decades to come."
