Well, their interim head coach was Sandusky's replacement, which means he was part of the coaching staff in 2002 and, no, this is still not an acceptable situation. If they don't dump everyone who was a member of the the football staff prior to 2002 during the off-season, they're basically putting a band-aid on the whole situation.
This was a systemic failure. Sandusky kept bringing the kids into the locker room and sauna to molest them for at least six years and everyone turned a blind eye. EVERYONE. Ignoring the child molester (who just loves mentoring children, isn't it wonderful how much time he devotes to them?) became the default setting for the entire community - and if you're all alone and everyone else is insisting that you're accusing a saint? When an ex-employee has so much power that the janitorial staff is too scared of being fired for reporting that he was raping kids in the showers, there's something wrong with the power dynamics at the University. When a man admits to fondling a ten year old and rubbing up against him naked in the shower but the D.A. decides that he's not going to press charges? Then you have something wrong with the power dynamics in the entire city.
There's something rotten in State College. Fixing this is going to be incredibly difficult. How many characters live to the end of Hamlet?
