Valo403, is there something you don't get about how the "football program" was at the root of how this was covered up? That nothing was done was attributable both to Paterno - who wasn't just an "individual within the program", but the architect, leader, and spirit of the program - and to the misbegotten idea that football is more important than anything else, including the rape of children.

Suspending the program will send the clear message that it's better to be upfront about any future such allegations and to investigate them fully, else you risk far more than some bad publicity for the school.
