You're forgetting 1 big thing. Paterno didn't see anything. It was reported to him by McQueary. McQueary should have reported it immediately, not 12 to 24 hours later. I'm not the morality police. As a mandated reporter though I'm required to report anything. I'm not sure Paterno was, thereby common sense says yes do something. But if you're wrong and ruined a mans life for something you heard from someone who thought he saw. It's trickier than you think. We have luxury of knowing some of the facts after.
What jurisdiction does the NCAA have over a tenured employee that is doing nothing that violates NCAA regulations? That is why I stated the examples I did.

The part you are forgetting is that this was not some guy on the street hearing about what was happening. This was pretty much the top of the football and school administration deciding to push it aside. The NCAA holds the institutions to ethics (or lack there of) which once again is why they should be pounded with penalties if not barring the program for the NCAA. Your frame of mind is on pretty small level infractions (paying players, changing grades etc). That is all we have ever seen. The thing you are not realizing is that this situation is at such high a level of incompetence and unethical behaviour by a program goverened by the NCAA, that they had all the right to hit them as hard as they could.
As far as having the luxury of the facts, that was the job of everyone involved. To get the facts. This wasn't some internal problem. This is a major felony that should have been called to the cops for them to investigate to find out.

I am quite certain that there are ethical statutes in place which would give them that jurisdiction. If lying to the NCAA results in you being banned as a head coach and the team on probation, then I am pretty sure that a program hearing allegations of raping happening while doing nothing means they have all the power to do as they wish.
