All Paterno had to do was call for action and the school would have done whatever he wanted. Instead he turned "boffing up the butt" to "horseplay" and made the whole thing less than it was. This is not made up, this is in the transcripts. Paterno was in denial and the school followed his lead.
yeah, that explains why the grand jury found that he acted properly.... 
total crap.

You're deluding yourself if you think he didn't have that much power.
"What? I'm lucky if Tressel doesn't fire me!" tOSU admins.
Paterno was PSU. You are wrong.
I think you are just worried that we are going to blame you for Jimbo and Uber.

How Fox News of you Garth. They found that he did nothing illegal...and also stated that he should have done more. Thanks for proving my point.

It was stated by the prosecutor and sheriffs, quite often. It will be in any story about this.
In fact it was stated by Paterno himself.

that's not the grand jury report.
who the hell wouldn't feel like they could have done more with the benefit of hindsight, especially in a situation this horrible?

You just said he should have done more.
So your fundamental failure is to understand the kind of power a coach like this has at his school.
"I'm just hoping Jim Tressel doesn't fire me!" - tOSU admins.
Read anything from anyone who is from and knowledgable about PSU. They will be happy to tell you that Joe Pa ran that school for decades. Admins do not bring millions of dollards to the school. Football does. PSU is a footbal school and Joe Pa WAS PSU football.
You should also probably look into the former professors who complained that Paterno insisted on disciplining football players and openly requested (read required) that no outside people be involved. "I can handle my own players, I know best how to discipline them."
Not an exact quote but good enough.
Again, apology accepted. That's ok Garth. You usually are wrong when you disagree with me. Most people are.

Did he call 911 when he heard the rumors?
