The education department said it is holding Penn State accountable for failing to protect students from sexual abuse in the Sandusky scandal.

Five years have passed since Joe Paterno’s ugly and scandalous firing from Penn State amid child sexual abuse allegations against former assistant Jerry Sandusky.

“Now is the appropriate time. Enough is enough,” said former tight end for the Nittany Lions, Brian Masella, who spoke on behalf of over 200 former Penn State football players calling for a large bronze statue of Joe Paterno to be returned to the campus.

The reversal once again makes head coach Joe Paterno the winningest coach in college football history.
