This leads me to a question that I haven't seen or heard anywhere.
Would the reputation of the football program, and the school in general have been damaged had Paterno, Shultz, Curly, of Spainier, or any or all of them gone to the proper authorities and reported the crime?
If Paterno had reported it, would he not have been hailed as a beacon of high moral standard, who placed the safety and well being of children above the reputation of the program and school?
Would the parents of children wanting to attend be more, or less, inclined to steer them to another school if any of them had done the right thing?
It seems to me that parents would point to that/those individual/s as someone their children should strive to emulate.
