You're right, I didn't personally see those teams live, but I know what he put together and how good of a man he was but the fact is everyone involved out the program above the safety of these kids and that IMO destroys any legacy from before. It puts reasonable doubt into your head of what was really happening and if this "clean" program image is real or just a facade.

and we wonder why people cover stuff like that up. There's no reason to believe this was anything but Sandusky.
I've never been a Paterno fan, he was a great coach, but I felt he was a selfish old man, clinging to his legacy. I would never have dreamed something like this was going on, but there is no evidence that the program was tainted for 40 years and no reason to see Sandusky was anything an isolated problem.
Paterno deserves the scorn and tarnished legacy. I suspect he was in deep denial, burying his head in the sand. He passed it up to his bosses and washed washed his hands over it. Probably because he cared more about his image and the program than anything else. Sad, sad story and ironic that his inaction is what tarnished his legacy.
