Maybe, probably not. They are super light sentences for the crime, there are no long term ramifications, and the football program was largely unaffected.[/quote]
It is the first time I’ve ever seen actual jail time for administrators in this kind of situation, and while the behavior of Paterno and Sandusky was appalling, the manner with which Spanier was complicit in the football program’s handling of the complaints is bog standard among chief operating officers at Division I football schools. So, while the months he’ll spend in jail is just a fraction of what you or I would get for child endangerment, it is infinitely more than what has been the norm.
