JoePa Statue coming down...

The total cost to the University is going to make taking the statue down irrelevant. The fact is he lacked morality in doing what was right in the Christian sense. Yes, he did what was required, but considering heinous nature of what his staff did; it was not enough.

Paterno's actions are not nearly as bad as the Chancellors, for which they should be punished legally. The University is going to lose tens of millions of dollars over this and think of the innocent children who were harmed.

When Chancellors from PA’s other Universities heard what Penn did, they were beside themselves and rightly so.

Perhaps over time there will be healing and his statue won’t represent something so gross, but for right now; removing it is appropriate.

Maybe they should bury the statue's head in some sand.
