Normally I don’t care about college politics and power.  In this case I can’t stop thinking about the Jerry Sandusky situation and Penn State.  By this time we all know the details about how Sandusky molested young boys and how Penn State and Joe Paterno knew about it but did nothing.. other than allowing him to retire a hero etc.

I think the higher ups at Penn State will eventually get what is coming to them along with Sandusky.  Now the debate is should Paterno continue to coach.  Today he decided to retire at the end of the year and in his words “with dignity”…  What?  He knew that his friend and long time co-worker was molesting a 10 year old boy on the Penn State campus.  He did the legal minimum by telling the powers that be at Penn State about the incident.  Why is he allowed finish the season “with dignity”?  I will say it again.  He knew what was going on and he didn’t call the police.  At most colleges the football coach doesn’t have that much power.  Penn State isnt’ most colleges.  Joe Paterno is a god at Penn State.  He is also responsible for setting an example for the kids he coaches.  In my opinion he is morally bankrupt for what he allowed to happen to other children because he didn’t do the right thing.

We all make mistakes but this is one that he should pay for.  He should be fired right now and kicked off campus.  He should not continue to be revered based on what he did.  He should be made an example of what he he didn’t do.
