re: Penn State knew Sandusky was a pedophile in 1971.

Sandusky, 48 counts of child sexual abuse.

Paterno, knowing and covering it up. He died shortly after, so nothing being pursued.

From what I read, Sandusky was mysteriously fired the year after he won National Asst. Coach of the Year. However, after being terminated, he was still allowed to keep an office, and given the keys to the facilities. It was there that he raped many of the victims. He held some type of football camps for young kids, and would bring them there to show off his access. Then, he'd rape em.

Paterno tries to swear he didn't know it was going on. But it's pretty clear to everyone, except Penn State fans, he knew, but didn't want to ruin his reputation, or hurt recruiting, so he kept it quiet and hoped it would all just go away eventually. He was on a quest to become the winningest coach in CFB, and he wasn't gonna let a few child rapes get in the way.
