Football operations should be suspended if it's in violations of rules related to football, or is being used as a foundation for a committed, organized illegal act.

You can make an arguement that the whole programs administration colluded to cover up Sandusky's activities in order to protect the program, that would show a grevious lack of values in a program that is supposed to teach values, it could qualify as the program being used to commit an illegal act, as non disclosure of child abuse is an illegal act.
The college is now being investigated by the feds as it would seem they have breached federal law in the way they handeled the disclosure, that could lead Penn St to lose its accreditation for federal funding.

Realistically though if the program gets suspended it will be as an act of damage control for the College and the NCAA, this is rightfully being described as the worst scandel to ever hit the NCAA and it is probably going to get alot worse.
