So true. I think for Penn State to rectify all wrong doing by this dark action amongst the administration is to make a severe example that all colleges can look at and revere. Way too much hero worshiping in sports. Forfeit all games played under the duration of the dirty secrets and let the world know that Penn State will not tolerate such hypocrisy.

This was not an issue with hero worship - this was about a selfish individual who lost his moral compass because he cared only about himself and his wins and his legacy. This is unfortunately everywhere and not just in heroes.

You are right about one thing - Penn State should do something drastic to show the country that it doesn't hold the employment of that one man dearer than the innocence of a child.
