Paterno statue coming down

Reports coming out of Pennsylvania this morning are that the statue of Joe Paterno has been taken down from outside the stadium where the coaching giant lead the Nittany Lions for almost 46 years.  With the child abuse scandals that have streamed out of Penn State since last season, I have done a lot of thinking about how I would handle this as a fan of a University where it happened.  What if the names and place was different?  What if this would have been Bear Bryant and not Paterno involved in this?  Would it change the way I feel?  Well, my response is coming this week but I am curious of a couple of different things from our readers.  First, do you feel that the Joe Paterno statue should come down and why or why not?  Secondly, do you feel that the NCAA should impose any sanctions toward the football program at Penn State...why or why not?  Please post your comments to the blog so that others can read them and respond to them.  Let us know what you are thinking!
