Paterno's actions yesterday made it clear that he thought he stood above the BOT.
If he'd contacted them before making his retirement announcement it would've been clear how things would've gone. Instead of retiring he could've taken the (relative) high road and stepped down immediately "for the good of PSU".
Then again, perhaps he did contact them, didn't like what he heard and announced his retirement... never expecting them to actually go through with it. It would've been in character.
I was never a JoePa fan, but did respect his results and the way he appeared to go about things. That respect is now gone. I suspect that I'm not alone in this regard.
