It was a former football coach and happened in a shower.  The reason this isn't a football issue is because this didn't benefit the football team in any way, except for the coverup.  Even that has had little to no impact. 
 
Everything you state is a criminal act and Joe himself committed criminal acts, however, that doesn't make it football related.  If an assistant coach gets caught stealilng at a supermarket, should the football team lose scholarships?  I know that's a different issue, but still same premise.  What if this was a professor instead of Sandusky in the football showers.. the school would have the same issues, yet, still not football related. 
 
What would make this a football issue?!?!  Seriously?  Anything that would benefit the program.  If Sandusky was running a prostitution ring that involved selling "services" to the football team, this would be a football issue.  The only argument out there that relates this to football is that people claim this was a coverup so that PedSt's program wouldn't be tarnished.. It's tarnished now, but that doesn't really seem to have had an impact (2nd most donations in a year ever and still locking down top notch recruits).  So that argument doesn't hold much water, yet it does hold some. 
 
Explain to me why this, in your mind, does relate to football? 
 
I will pre-emptively state that I won't respond to another thread on this topic because I feel like everyone who believes this is a football issue is naive and uneducated.
