....like any of these people want anything to do with the institution after what they have been through.
In regards to some of the remarks about the parents of the kids - you have to remember, these were kids with troubled backgrounds. Many probably saw this as free babysitting/future scholarship ride. I'm guessing many of them didn't have a father in their lives or parents who were the best - making them extremely vulnerable to someone like Sandusky. I still don't get the mom that didn't raise hell after she found out he had showered naked with her son.
Paterno to retire at seasons end
Penn State Nittany Lions' Joe Paterno to retire at end of season - ESPN

It looks like Paterno will be coaching and that dirt bag Mike McQueary will probably be on the sidelines as well.
It looks like the law and Penn State will do nothing and both McQueary's and Paterno will have to wait to answer to a higher authority for what they did or rather didn't do.
Paterno gets to retire after the end of the year. Isn't that peachy?

hope he can finish the year strong with a B1G title and Rose Bowl birth then.

THIS! JoePa acted on an accusation, but this board wants to string him up along with the pedophile. NOBODY here knows what Paterno was told. What we do know is that he followed the protocal of most organizations. NOW we know that there was more to it. But this guy has shown DECADES of doing the right thing, and a rush to judgement will bring him down.
Being in large corporations I've been faced with somebody coming to me to report accusations regarding others in the organization (fortunately none of them child-rape) several times. Many of them seemingly far-fetched, and others seemingly plausible. Once they're brought to me I have to treat each of them the same, taking them upstream in the process. As much as I want to call some of the accusers an idiot at times, and as much as I want to handle myself the ones I know are likely, I cannot. I have to go through a protocal, much like I suspect Paterno had to. For me, once the folks in the Compliance and HR Departments find it plausible we call the police together.
Put away your pitchforks you self-righteous idiots who can stand and blather about what you'd do if you were him. You don't know what you'd do until you're faced with it. Pray for the victims, but don't judge others on what you don't know. One of the reasons I loved the people at ISU was their ability to reason, seemingly beyond all others. What happened to those people?
Re: Paterno to retire at seasons end
I thought I saw in another report that his contract expired anyway at the end of 2011.
So technically, it's not a "force out", and it would be difficult for PSU to terminate his contract immediately.

Re: Paterno to retire at seasons end
Yeah.... Too bad he has to go out like this, but he knew better. What a terrible story.

Re: Paterno to retire at seasons end
I would possibly wish that for the Penn St players, who are not guilty of any crimes. But that program is dirty from the top, and Paterno is nothing short of a self-preserving coward for what he failed to do. He does not deserve to go out a winner.

Re: Paterno to retire at seasons end
It's too bad that he allowed 9 additional years of child rape because he did not have the courage to do what was right.

Re: Paterno to retire at seasons end
Glad to see he is going to be gone. This whole scandal has really tarnished his legacy. My hope is that Penn State falls flat on their faces the rest of this season and then turns down the crappy bowl invite they get. It would be a shame to watch these classless folks at Penn State celebrate football success after the total disregard they have shown to the victims of Sandusky that they for the most part facilitated by doing absolutely nothing about it.

That's not even close to what I was suggesting. Nice try though.
I was comparing the knee jerk reaction seen here on this board to the same reaction towards the Duke Lacrosse players.
WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT THE GA TOLD JOPA.
Until we do, I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt.
Re: Paterno to retire at seasons end
Agreed. It doesn't matter who you are, you don't let stuff like that slide.
