How is not properly reporting a crime as bad as the crime itself? You've gotta be kidding me. And he DID let the AD know, so at least he did something. He probably just assumed the AD would handle it properly. So in terms of the proper authorities not being notified, that's more on the AD than on Paterno.

Let's try to respect his family, at the very least, in all of this.

I half expected something like this to happen, people die pretty quickly on average after retirement. It's like once their career they defined themselves their whole life with is over, their body just says "Ok, I'm done."

Ya, that's why I think if you can afford to, you shouldn't work past 65-70, even if you love your job, because people who work until they're super, super old do tend to die shortly after they do retire.
