The fact of the matter is, he made a mistake that he may not even have recognized as a mistake until a few days ago, because that's when he actually learned of the severity of the incident.

For some, Paterno going to his superior instead of the police is the only thing that defines him. THAT is what's ridiculous.. Especially because no one seems to know all the facts (except, of course, Paterno).

My issue with it (and many others' issue with it) isn't the one-time mistake. It is CONTINUALLY, over the course of over a decade, up until last freaking week, allowing this man to be associated with the program, to bring children on campus, to bring them into the football facilities, to allow him all access to the program. That's my biggest beef. To allow this sick f&*k to continue his association with the program and provide him a playground for his crimes.

Many other heads will roll. Probably far more people knew about this, and it will come out eventually. Wonder how long Tom Bradley will be around after further investigation is done? I wonder what he knew? I wonder why all of the other teams over the years that interviewed him for HC never hired him?
