Penn State lucky to avoid television banishment

Penn State spring football, life after Jerry Sandusky, Joe Paterno
It was the biggest fall from grace in sports history. Joe Paterno, the all time college football leader in wins, lives just long enough to see his reputation tarnished as an enabler of child rape, and the job he held for multiple decades terminated.
