According to reports, there was a statewide push toward early retirement for state employees, with outrageously good benefits at that point - Sandusky qualified, and took the offer, likely due to what you noted (he was no longer "heir apparent"). If he took another job, he'd lose those benefits (presumably).
The 1998 issue likely had something to do with Sandusky's willingness to take the state's golden parachute, but until there's evidence the school had those 1998 accusations in-hand and fully understood the implications, it's hard to say that "something" was on anybody's side but Sandusky's himself.
With all of the accusations and theories abounding, it's worth keeping in mind that most of us don't know shit about shit, and no amount of outrage or vitriol changes that limited amount of knowledge. Holy balls.
