The alleged story accuses former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky of sexual assault. Sandusky was reported to be sexual abusing and misusing his position as head coach. Coach Joe Paterno, reported such rumors and never followed up, which in result ended his football coaching career. Victims reported abuse, bullying and animosity that lead them to leave school . This was horrific to think. To know that a person of such stature would do such a thing. A school coach has an obligation to its students and its community. I feel both Sandusky and Paterno validated this obligation. Paterno may have not participated in the crime, but not following up and allowing it to continue is just the same.
The board of trustees removed both Sandusky and Paterno from their positions at the university. I believe this was the best decision for the school and for the students. With this decision the board showed unity and strength against wrong doings. This story is one that will be talked about for years to come and a tragedy those victims will remember for forever.
