Ugh. Much worse news regarding Paterno this morning. When he knew the Sandusky situation was under investigation in 2011, he renegotiated a sweetheart exit package for himself, without knowledge of trustees. He knew he wasn't going to come out of that smelling like a rose.

I don't think anything short of a major administrative personnel housecleaning, both generally and in the athletic department, is going to help this school get back on track.
Thoughts on the NCAA "death penalty" for the football team?
I have mixed feelings. The administrators totally deserve it, the lower staff and students do not.
PS: And yes after reading this I think the statue of Paterno does need to come down. The family after whom the AD building is named want their name to stay, and that seems right. They did nothing wrong, and not everything that has happened there was wrong, by any stretch.
