With all the publicity this is getting and more people that got raped coming out of the woodwork I'd say 60mil is pretty conservative.

I wish the child-molester enabling bastard was still alive so he could see his legacy and family name flushed, never to be revered again. He got out easy. His son and the rest of the family just needs to go away. But I am sure they will stay where they are, still worshiped by some morons in that town.

The idiots that still defend him or "the program" should be slapped into reality, hard.

The Paterno name is Mudd!

It's a statue of a football coach, not a monumental world treasure. Leave it up, tear it down, never had it put up in the first place . . . what's the big woof?

I cannot help but recall that Dean Smith was not only the loudest, but nearly the sole, voice of protest when it was first proposed the Smith Center be named for him. He thought he was just a coach, and deserved no big credit, as it was his teams who played the game. The Paterno family needs a bit of this humility, and should put a sock in it.

I enjoy football as much as the next guy, but pedistals need to be toppled when it comes to molesting kids. Could have Paterno done more, yes…did he…NO. And with that, the statue needs to come down. Like the previous post, 1000 things right, and one thing wrong is what you’re remembered for…welcome to the real world.
