It's all over the news here in Pennsylvania. Paterno should have done more, and his reaction demonstrates that he knows that. NCAA football is no stranger to closed doors and dirty secrets, so I can't say that I find the cover-up to be all that surprising. The sad thing is that he was going to retire as arguably the greatest coach in the history of collegiate football. He encouraged his players to achieve academic excellence to compliment their athletic prowess. PSU's program had developed a squeaky-clean reputation among both the media and fans. Now it would seem that this reputation will recieve a fair amount of tarnish.
