It is rather difficult to fathom how one could think that the football program covering up the child rape orchestrated by a football coach is a non-football related scandal.
The football program is the heart of Penn State, and the privledged position the football program enjoyed in that school is precisely why Sandusky got away with it for so long. It is this very attitude that enables the abusers. Everything the school did to protect Sandusky at the expense of his victims was done to protect the football program. It is only fitting that that very malevolence is what destroyed Penn State football in the end.
