What does a version mean? How accurate was Paterno's report. Once Paterno goes to the AD, he feels that he's done his duty. Should Paterno have spoken up later on in the following years as he sees that nothing has been done. Was he shutdown by the AD? Should Paterno have eventually taken matters into his own hands and call police while the school is supposedly handling things?

Impossible that he was shutdown by anyone, they worked for him. I don't care what the organizational structure says, Joe Paterno had more power than the rest of the school combined.
Honestly the thing that really gets me is all the BS the guy built his career on. The whole 'do things the right way' mantra apparently didn't apply to him.
I wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt at first, but I can't do it.
