Paterno actually did follow university policy and procedure when he reported the incident. The harshest judgement normally goes to the highest in command. I think the innocent victims here are the athletes that will have their lives and education disrupted. They won't have much of a team in a year or two. I hope the NCAA will accomodate the players. Also probably the other sports will suffer too since the football program contributes heavily to athletics overall.

There is really more here than just an athletic program gone askew. These universities and academia in general have so insulated themselves from the real world that they think the rules just don't apply to them. They have become a "Royal Class" just like the political class has.

The real crime is all these poor kids are leaving school saddled with debt. Just like the subprime fiasco once the government started underwriting student loans and the money flow started, the cost of college not only went through the roof but the facilities became palatial. The money flow from the taxpayers allowed the "Academic Class" to raise tuition and go on building sprees. Have you seen a "dorm room" lately? Won't even mention the "benefits".
