There is a a lesson here for universities that want to put football first. When officials will protect even child rapists in order to success on the field.

I wish officials at my university would learn it.

Did Penn State do the right thing in firing Joe Paterno?

In a word, YES.

He did not report known child rapes allegedly committed by one of his coaches to the police. As a result, more children were allegedly victimized.

And just think, this college football crime story is now the top story in the nation.

Can you explain that based on what you've learning in the book?
