It looks like that is the case...

and I hate defending ANYONE involved in this - so no one take me wrong here

But it looks to me like Paterno was the middle-man involved in all of this. There is no doubt that he knew about it and screwed up by not going to the authorities - but we've got witnesses, Joe Paterno (who the witness reported to), and the supervisors who Paterno reported to...
the way this investigation has gone (or at least how it has been displayed on tv) has pinned the brunt of this on Paterno...
and I honestly think they are doing some of it just because he's dead and can't defend himself.

I know that's a strong statement...
but that's what I'm getting out of all of this.

This is exactly what I've thought all along.
