The PSU scandal has blown up many media outlets including twitter, television, other social networks and of course through word of mouth. The main picture that the media displays is that the Paterno is completely at fault and deserves the punishment he is going to get. There are others that believe that he is not really at fault and deserves to still coach but these are mostly avid fans of the team. The issues of power, media and deviance are all obviously intertwined in this big scandal. The power of a greatly praised coach like Paterno being overpowered by this Sandusky scandal and being shared with the world through media. I can see how Paterno would see cover this up. This scandal would have ruined the team if it surfaced earlier. It would have ruined the reputation that Paterno built up over the years. I personally think it is right that Paterno is being punished along with Sandusky. Anyone else who was involved or knew about this and didn't do anything against it should be punished.
