The Penn State football program is one of the most respected in all of college football. With Coach Joe Paterno as the longest standing head coach in college football history, it’s hard to believe the program would get hit with this type of scandal. Check out all the details…

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. (AP) — An explosive sex abuse scandal and allegations of a cover-up rocked Happy Valley after former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky, once considered Joe Paterno’s heir apparent, was charged with sexually assaulting eight boys over 15 years. Among the allegations was that a graduate assistant saw Sandusky assault a boy in the shower at the team’s practice center in 2002.

Sandusky retired in 1999 but continued to use the school’s facilities for his work with The Second Mile, a foundation he established to help at-risk kids, where authorities say he encountered the boys. The case took on added dimension Saturday when perjury charges were announced against Tim Curley, Penn State’s athletic director, and Gary Schultz, vice president for finance and business. They were also accused of failing to alert police — as required by state law — of their investigation of the allegations.
