Maybe scapegoat isn't the right word. Maybe a fall guy? I agree he knew and didn't do anything. In that same sense, what about Mike McQueary? He witnessed the act and didn't call police, why isn't he being held accountable for not doing more, or anything?

You're right, JoePa isn't a "scapegoat", but he is the one the media is putting all the attention on when there is more to be questioned. Now that the NCAA revealed their punishement, Sandusky was found guilty, the Freeh report was released, most people think all the guilty parties have been found, but that is NOT the case.
