This is all they could have done. The way the laws are they could not fire him or restrict his access to grounds and buildings. Since the DA refused to press charges they as a government entity could not fire him. Sad, but the truth. It's very strange that the DA didn't press charges, if he had the last 14 yrs would not have happened.
They restrict my access to the grounds and buildings, no reason that once he retired they had to let him continue to use the facilities to molest kids.

Also no reason they all had to look the other way when they saw him continue to bring young boys on campus. He is a grown-ass man. Once the accusations had been made, even if not prosecuted, you'd think someone would have had the balls to say "hey, somethin's not right here". Wonder how many times Paterno and all the others saw him in the hallways with another young boy in tow and simply looked the other way?

Sry, not defending them, just stating some facts that people overlook. WV he 'retired' as a coach for the team, he was still a professor there.

I have a government job and can tell you all about people who still have there jobs after some very unsavory behavior. If they are not convicted or charges are dropped not only do they get there job back but also any back pay they missed.

The NFL is suppose to be a Leader in sports, humanities, and whatever else .
Leaving a positive attitude and overall appearance, which is especially hard given that the media is all over it.
You see the Saints scandal, which is a wreck. That is where it starts. Although, being a Raider fan (lol) should I say that is where it starts with Jack Tatum and John Madden. JM finally spoke to the media about his tape guy or cast specialist. He admitted it was a form of cheating in the NFL. A win does not need to come like that. Understand this. I would rather lose, grumbling and cursing which way and back then cheat and make my emotional habits of a Poker Player think I have done something good. It will have no positive and only screw things up for those who around you, much less on the same team as you in the same Univ.
I really don't understand why a whole collegiate program would be punished. Fire every mentor that has a so called job from the premises. At least give the financial assistance needed for these schools to at the very least, have organized social outside of the classroom activities. So a freshman this year, will never have a chance? BS Guess this will show a player who has the strength and emotion to not let this burden or hinder. Tough, even for the best of the best.
It's all about money, gambling is so much part of the collegiate sports and Professional levels. How will this affect this coming sesons choices. It won't be on this Institution.
