A Look into PSU sanctions

Joe Paterno broke down and cried the day after he was dismissed as Penn State's coach.

Paterno met with his coaches at his house. He sobbed uncontrollably..... Later, one of his former captains, Brandon Short, stopped by the house. When Brandon asked, "How are you doing, Coach?" Paterno answered, "I'm okay," but the last syllable was shaky, muffled by crying, and then he broke down and said, "I don't know what I'm going to do with myself."

"My name," he told Jay, "I have spent my whole life trying to make that name mean something. And now it's gone."

His own fault.

 

I am glad he realized the severity of the situation.
