no, one child molestor and his crony probably-also-child-molesting boss paterno should not mean everyone at the university suffers.
Tell me why should players and coaches of the team in the present who had absolutely nothing to do with the crimes that Sandusky committed be punished?
they should not. but paterno knew about the incidents and covered them up. he and sandusky bear the blame for this, no one else.
the child molestor and the guy who covered for him: they are at fault.
I agree with you so maybe you can tell me why the current team is being punished?
Do you think the sanctions laid down at Penn State in the Sandusky crimes is fair?
they should not. but paterno knew about the incidents and covered them up. he and sandusky bear the blame for this, no one else.

For the amount of years that this went on for, I highly doubt only 2 people were aware of the situation. The rest who knew what went on either don't work there anymore or are too afraid to step up for fear of punishment. We're not talking about incidents that happened in an isolated basement of a home. Other people knew and shame on them too for keeping it a secret.
but why punish the students? even if every staff member at the university knew, doesnt make it the students fault. fire the employees. dont sanction the students.
To some extent, students are also responsible for letting this behavior happen. I agree, punishing them is harsh and shouldn't happen. I'm glad they chose to make an example out of the university and raise awareness of this kind of issue. While it may seem outrageous and unfair, it's about time this behavior gets exposed and dealt with. People need to stop covering their ears and saying "blah blah blah I can't hear you" and deal with the reality that kids are at risk for sexual abuse, no matter what environment they are in.

The administration covered up the crimes because their football program brought them prestige and income. Damaging those things is the only way to demonstrate the seriousness of such cover-ups.
Not the present administration or team. They did nothing wrong and they are the ones being punished.
