Any realistic expectation that Paterno and football would cease to define the institution have, to put it mildly, been delayed. Check out this column:

For those of you not inclined to read the whole thing, here's an excerpt:
 
Now, it seems like they (Penn State leaders) needn’t have bothered, a day after they allowed 3,000 fans to gather at the football office for an organized pep rally. The marching band played, defiant placards waved, [B]Sue Paterno appeared like some kind of deposed queen of the rebel alliance[/B], and Freeh and Emmert were nowhere to be heard.
 
Wait – they can be seen, though, on the new t-shirt marketed to fans that has their faces next to that of PSU president Rodney Erickson.[B] The back of the shirt says FOREVER 409 – a rejection of Paterno’s wins since 1998 being officially vacated – and the front says “THE FREEH STOOGES.”[/B]
 
More galling were the visuals, provided by the Harrisburg Patriot-News. [URL='http://p.twimg.com/AzIHlP3CEAIbIrT.jpg']Players posed in front of the Lasch building with young boys in Penn State jerseys.[/URL] [B]Think about that for a moment – smiling youngsters standing innocently with their Nittany Lion heroes at the very scene of multiple rapes and assaults at the hands of a monster who used such access to players as bait to ensnare victims.[/B]
 
Fair use prevents me from providing more, but read the entire sickening scenario for yourselves. Where the bleep are the grown-ups?[B][/B]
