Then, go create a philosophy thread on this topic and discuss it with some of your academic friends that deal in fantasyland and not in reality. Here, we're talking about people being charged with crimes; thus, the legal standard is what's relevant, not the "absolute standard."

You are charging someone with a crime right now? I did not realize that. Proceed please; I did not mean to interrupt in this reality you have constructed here. What time are you serving the papers?

The BOT made the right decision.

For those of you who don't know how high profile Sandusky is, think of him as John Chavis or in that kind of terms when it comes to asst. coaches.

Both Joe Paterno and Graham Spanier are out effective immediately.
That, of course, means that Paterno will not coach Saturday or the rest of the season and his long tenure has come to an end

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Joe Paterno was in tears, his players in shock.
"All the clips you've ever seen of him, you never saw him break down and cry," quarterback Paul Jones said. "And he was crying the whole time today."
Struggling to keep his emotions in check and old school as always in a sweater and tie, Paterno stood in front of his players and coaches Wednesday and said the words many already knew were coming but never thought they'd actually hear. After almost a half-century of head coaching at Penn State, and more victories than any other Division I coach, he was resigning at the end of the season.
Paterno told his players it was the best decision following the child sex-abuse scandal involving former defensive coordinator and one-time heir apparent Jerry Sandusky. In just a few days, the tawdry allegations have managed to sully the pristine reputation that Paterno built with such care all these years.
When he finished talking, his last group of players rose and applauded.
"Obviously, it was pretty emotional," safety Nick Sukay said. "He's spent his whole life here and dedicated everything to Penn State. You could really feel that."
