Should Paterno go?

I understood he reported what was reported to him. But how much did he know, and why didn't he follow up..as the alleged abuser was on the football staff? It wasn't like some one reported an incident involving a teacher that Paterno never interacted with. The guy was on his football staff.
IMO, since the child abused appeared to be around 10, it's hard to believe that Paterno could have heard this, and not followed up on it. Maybe he didn't' get the full details. I just don't know. But if he did.... Tressell was fired at OSU for not reporting violations, far less serious than molesting a underage boy.

NY Times is reporting Paterno will be gone the end of this week.
