but was he? he was respected, yes, but he wasn't the AD and he wasn't the board of directors. But in my mind he was the perfect scapegoat. He REPORTED the allegations he heard to the AD, he did his duty, and the AD buried it and the COPS DROPPED the investigation. I don't see why everyone is so insensed and mad at Joe Paterno because he wasn't running around playing super sleuth and solving the crime on his own.
