I think its EXTREMELY unfortunate that hundreds and maybe thousands of people will suffer for what Sandusky, Paterno and the others did or didn't do.
However, if someone knows their actions can have devastating effects on many others, this is a far greater deterrent than if the person's actions affect only that person.
I don't think it was right for the NCAA to take away all of Paterno's wins. They should have taken away just the ones that occurred after he knew about Sandusky.
The reason Paterno and the others tried to cover it up, was to protect the multi-million dollar football program and the revenue from it.
