Paterno Sandusky Case Summary

177 Words1 Page

In reviewing the case, I believe the organizational functions that were affected by the crisis were the leaders within the administration. They were the most powerful people at the University that knew what Sandusky was doing but fail to report Sandusky’s actions. It seemed like the men were hoping that it would just go away on its own. I also think that all the men that were aware were thinking more of the reputation of the University, and how the scandal affected the University’s name as well as the history of the school. I think Paterno was more focus on having a successful football team and did not want to deal with Sandusky.By not speaking up about the scandal; it cost the University millions of dollars in fines, which went towards an

    My personal opinion on whether or not Joe Paterno should have been fired, have everything taken away from him, including all of his wins and the statute in front of the stadium taken down. Despite the fact, I do not think that Joe should have been fired at all. He did what he was supposed to do, and reported the incident to the next higher upper. Although, could he had done more, of course he could have. Paterno even stated in the film when talking to the bibliographer “I wished I had done more”.

    Penn State football is a major brand with a very large fan base. Many areas of the school benefit from the large amount of revenue generated by the success of the football program. One of the major factors in the Penn State scandal was blind loyalty to one individual with total disregard for the children and the lives he was destroying. Many believe the four individuals that had the control to step in and stop this from happening either did not do so for fear of destroying the program or the hopes that it would somehow stop on its own (Crandall 2013).
