I think, given the evidence that has come out Joe Paterno looks horrible. Paterno looks worse than Woody Hayes right now and things will more than likely stay that way for the forseeable future. There are many sins that can be forgiven in football, cheating, illegal recruiting, preferential treatment of players, etc but to remain silent on child molestation/rape is horrifying and the "brand" of Penn State & Joe Paterno have been permenantly scarred.
Whether or not Penn State's football team receives an official penalty for something that happened a decade ago is up in the air, but I think the school will never recover from this. Penn State used to be an institution for great football players, but I just can't see it being that moving forward. I think schools like Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Syracuse, et al will benefit from Penn State's inaction on the Sandusky situation.
I had no thoughts or feelings towards Penn State other than it was a historically good football school, but yankees don't know shit about real football anyway. After this whole mess, I look at Penn State with contempt. You let students & coaches run roughshod over the entire school and this is what you get a culture of evil.
