Dear Joe Paterno, do not resign. Do not resign because you need to speak out to give your side of the story. You need to explain why you have run that university over the last 40 plus years, but for some reason you decided the appalling abuse that took place in 2002 was not important enough to have your full attention. You need to stand up and answer every last question that is asked. And then you need to be fired. 
Its unthinkable that you allowed Mr. Sandusky access to innocent boys since 2002, Penn St. facilities since 2002, all because you feel that you did your job and clearly others around you were not doing theirs. Your problem is this isn't some former coach with a computer full of minors in a Florida retirement community. Your problem is Mr. Sandusky was operating in your back yard with your approval. 
You have always held yourself and your program out to the public as being an example of how a NCAA division I program should operate. While you may have graduated a few players, and recruited without cars and money, your program is now disgraced far more than any other program in recent memory. You may have have 409 victories, but you will now forever be remembered for this scandal. You may think that punishment is fitting, but anything short of you being fired is unacceptable.
