Message: [QUOTE="billsin01, post: 1940138, member: 837"] I get what you're saying and I don't really disagree per se, but I do think it's a bit of an oversimplification. As others have pointed out the guy took the information to everyone who should have rightfully dealt with a miserable situation and they did nothing. Should he have quit, moved on, found his way onto 60 minutes ... yeah, I think that's fair. But I also think you have to have some empathy for a guy who knows the guys he's dealing with are not only powerful in of themselves, but are powerful far beyond the reaches of the campus AND, in Paterno's case, literally treated as deities throughout the state. That is a much more difficult spot than simply reporting a terrible act to a group of people who, like all of us here, would be absolutely mortified and would drop everything we were doing to make sure this stuff stopped that day.
