This has been an ongoing problem for possibly ten years and numerous high ranking individuals have either witnessed, heard about, or even suspected what was going on under the Joe Paterno regime.  It's  truly a sad way for Paterno to end his career.  Sad is probably not the right word, tragic is a better description., but it's even more tragic for Penn State University students and alumni.  It’s a mark the university will carry for a long time and will most likely never fully recover from.
