No Wendy.
Paterno was the Coach at PSU for 46 years. I don't think you fully understand how powerful the head coach of the football program at a university like that is. He was 100% involved in the coverup. Since yuou aren't from America, i won't bother explaining, but know this much. When they wanted to fire Paterno (the AD and Trustees) a few years ago he said Fuck Off i don't care about you and kept his job.
