Paterno is not being scape-goated so much as he is being torn apart and devoured by the bloodthirsty media, ala “Lord of the Flies”. Once they get the scent, the pack mentality takes over and these sub-humans forget anything they may have ever known about common decency.
The politicians, the university administrators, and the pundits are no better, each desperately trying to seize a phony moral highground. Not one of them has the cojones to say, “This is a lynching. It’s wrong to take such precipitous action without a full examination of all the facts, just to satisfy a mob of jackals.”

Paterno committed at least one felony as an accessory.
The facts are pretty much incriminating to them all..kids were abused...and they knew it...end of story.
