Paterno, once known as the winningest coach of all time, became tangled up in a scandal involving his friend and assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. In June, Sandusky was convicted of molesting 10 young boys and sentenced to a minimum of 30 years in prison. Investigations revealed Paterno might have known about Sandusky's abuse and helped cover it up.
