C'mon. Look at Sandusky's "retirement". JoePa knew what was going on and was covering it up for years.

June 1, 1998: State Department of Public Welfare investigator and the university police detective interview Mr. Sandusky. The Centre County district attorney decides not to press charges in the case. Mr. Sandusky said he would not shower with children again.

May 1999: Head football coach Joe Paterno tells Mr. Sandusky he will not be the next head coach at PSU.

June 1999: Mr. Sandusky retires from Penn State.

March 2001: Then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary reports to Penn State officials that he witnessed Mr. Sandusky sexually assaulting a young boy in a Penn State locker room shower. Officials take away Mr. Sandusky's keys to the locker room.

Were not talking about the Joe Pa that was fired last year. IMO, during the above time span he was the most powerful person at Penn St, and the AD and President did whatever Joe wanted. He knew what was going on and either didn't want to believe it, or didn't want his/PSU's reputation tarnished. So Joe just let Sandusky continue to use the athletic facilities to impress young boys and arse rape them.
