I cannot understand anyone cutting Paterno any slack. A leader? Please. He is given information that someone on his team is possibly raping children...in "his" facility. His only response is to report it to his superiors??? Not even a follow up call..."Say...did you find anything out about this guy who works for me who may be raping children?" Wouldn't he want to know if this allegation - rather heinous - was true or false? If it was false - wanting to clear his name - if it was true - to get him out of there!!! I just cannot imagine if someon who worked for me was accused of such a thing that reporting it to my superiors would relieve my conscious of all responsibility.

To him a game - a game with grown men running up and down a field and jumping on each other - was more important than saving children from rape.
I totally agree with you on this! Paterno should have been more diligent with the situation when he first heard about it. I truly believe he did not want to scar Penn State's "good name". This was swept under the rug on purpose. I know a lot of Penn State fans and lovers of Paterno will rant and rave if they read this but I don't really care.
