Read the findings and the timeline, its disturbing to say the least. The 4 main players including Paterno fully enganged in a well planned cover up. Paterno lied, and this was all about protecting the football program as well as the university.

I started reading this and my blood is beginning to boil. Not sure I'll be able to stomach reading this all without getting in my car and going to execute a few individuals and digging up JoePa's body just so I can desecrate it. My last stop would be at Penn State bringing down Joe Pa's statue.
I don't think this "finding" really tells me anything I didn't know already. I already firmly believed they knew about the 1998 investigation. I knew that it was JoePa that was ultimately responsible for the inaction of the administrators, and he had the final word to keep it quiet. I knew JoePa was the ultimate power authority at that school. I knew JoePa lied and covered it up (as I'm sure he's done with many crimes there) to protect his legacy and football program.
The sad thing is, it wasn't only just these 4 individuals that knew either. Paterno's whole family knew, as did most of those other 3 individuals families. Also, most of the coaches and staff knew as well. People talk. They always do. I work at a university, and I work on the medical campus which is across the way from our main campus. All that said, I STILL heard about our former basketball coach having a affair with another woman even though the press or general public never knew. The Paterno family are pieces of shit. They waited to release that Paterno letter the day before the findings knowing that the report would sink their beloved legend. Too bad. I only wished JoePa stayed alive long enough to watch his legacy be burnt down to the ground before his very eyes. It truly is the punishment he so richly deserved (among jail time). You wished you could have done more JoePA? Yeah, go **** yourself you child molester enabler.
I hope and pray the victims and their families can move on knowing the truth backed up their stories of betrayal by the university. Maybe after these administrators are jailed and civil suits are done, healing can begin.
