The day that the assistant coach went to him to report what he heard or perhaps saw, and Paterno passed the buck, was the day he gave up the right to any claims of greatness and everything he ever worked for. He still continued to pass the buck after being questioned, he said he reported it to his superiors?
I don't think his family would dare to sue anyone. What could they prove in his defense?

That's my point, you have expressed it better than I do. So far, Paterno's family is doing spin-doctoring. If they sincerely believe they have a case, bring them to the court now and force the other side to show evidence and testimony under oath. So far, all they did is spin the news and acting in denial.
But anyway, the prosecutors and victims will bring criminal and civil cases to the court. All of us will see the light of the day in a year or two down the road.
I'm still puzzled why some people equal the Freeh report as public opinion. It is an investigation task force led by a former FBI director who has a very good track record. And the task force is comprised of upstanding professional citizen, some coming from Penn State as well. This is not done by a local sheriff of unknown track record.
So far, this is the best we got, until Paterno's family dare to bring Penn State, NCAA and Freeh Task force to court. Or two years down the road when the victims have their day in court. I can wait, I have patience.
Good program on ESPN now.
The Paterno family has brought in their own people to go over the report to determine if it was biased in its determination?
