You won't like this response, but...

Joe Paterno is not the scapegoat here. He was absolutely part of the problem and the coverup. And he is also not here to defend himself.

Although I believe the NCAA penalties are too harsh (I wouldn't take away scholarships) I think Penn State has to move beyond this and the cult like status that a very human man was allowed to achieve. And he's not alone.

Alleged impropriety seems a bit callous when the man was convicted on 45 of 48 counts...
