How Paterno could have permitted sandusky anywhere near the program after knowing the allegations is beyond me. And for thos that say he didn't have the clout to do anything further--that is total BS.

Having played "Devil's Advocate" here for a bit, I hafta confess I agree with this post entirely. And this means I am buying your assertion, McLovin, that Sandusky's behavior was known since before 2000. I continue to suspect that Paterno may have had a hand in Sandusky's resignation and that he opposed Sandusky's access to university football facilities but that's just a guess based on what I know about Paterno's usual reaction to ethical or moral misbehavior. Even if other university administrators were granting access to Sandusky, Paterno probably had the juice to stop it. And did not. And so, shame befalls Paterno. You see, I'm not as dense as you may have thought. But again, according to my observation, this is SOOOOOO uncharacteristic of Paterno.
BTW, I was a virgin until I was about 15 or 16, when I met up with an older sister of one of my friends. She was 26. That was consensual. On a fair number of occasions.
