Soooo, we are expected to believe that Paterno coached men's football for what, five or six decades at a major university and never heard homosexual terms and words - and never was inquisitive enough to ask their meaning? I suggest that Paterno was either dumb as a sack of hammers or was lying - maybe both....

The guy was probably living in a bubble by 1998 .
He was in his 70’s and considered a living legend at PSU.
No male coach was going to race off and have a blunt confrontation with the campus legend and screw up there career.
As for the guy who said he told the coach well Paterno is dead so its real convenient.

Paterno’s Ivy League degree was not in football...but literature.

I do believe the subject of homosexuality and sodomy would have arisen periodically during those studies.
