Paterno "to retire at the end of the season."

[WilliamPitt]

Per AP, as reported by ESPN, no link yet.

1. I'll tell you this much - alot of PSU fans thinks he should be gone now

But clearly the powers to be at PSU feel they have a chance for a bowl bid and want to make that last stretch of money before the team goes into the crapper.

2. I thought they'd throw this bone out...see if it would satisfy people...

There may be more pressure for him to be gone before that, though.

3. We posted at the same time, I guess. I have a link in

LBN, which is why I posted there.

4. I'm betting he won't make it to the end of the year.

5. That's no punishment -- he's needs to be FIRED, and NOW.

What kind of a lesson does this teach the kids?

6. No; he needs to be shown "the light" and RESIGN now. Today. Before the next game.

And I say that as an alumna who has an entire ROOM in blue and white, with PSU memorabilia .

8. There needs to be an immediate and thorough house cleaning at Penn State.

...from the president on down.

And, it needed to happen yesterday.

I can't believe Paterno is so revered that they're going to let him stay until the end of the season.


Disgusting

9. He should be arrested

along with everyone else who knew and ignored it. Penn State should lose any hope of a bowl game or BCS ranking.

10. Yet at OSU the coach was gone cause some guys got free tattoos (nt)

11. What's this "retire" crap? If he knew and didn't inform the authorities

he becomes an accessory after the fact. Last I heard that would mean prison time.

12. The NCAA will step in next

They'll have to. This is not gonna fly.
