One could argue that the NCAA is setting a precedent to prevent future abuses by coaches or other athletic officials. Paterno's legacy is ruined forever. If other coaches don't want to suffer the same fate, maybe they'll blow the whistle next time instead of covering up for a child-rapist in the interest of winning more football games.
