I do understand the disgust and outrage trumping everything, I just don't see a decision of that magnitude being made on that basis.
As a respected coach he had access and a fair amount of influence over far more than just the players.

I just think in the end closing the program for a few years will be the easiest thing to do for the college, I find it hard to think that with the massive and ongoing financial hit, the difficulty in recruiting players, the questions that will hang over any one on the staff that worked with Sandusky and Paterno. Even things like bowl games start to become problamatic, which sponsering company wants to have their name associated with a school which will for the foreseeable future be known as 'pedo state' or some variation.
