I guess that question is aimed at nitne and there's a follow up.
why was there a halo in the first place?.
Yeah, they removed a halo over JoePa's head on a mural that once also included a now removed Jerry Sandusky.
Evidently the guy who painted the mural always paints a halo over one of subjects when they die....and that is when/why the halo was painted over him to begin with. But in light of the results of the Freeh report, he decided (and wisely so) to remove the halo on his own. He actually replaced the halo with a large blue ribbon on JoePa's lapel symbolizing support for child abuse victims.
Former University President Grahm Spanier is also included on the mural...and the guy who painted it is debating what to do about him. He said he doesn't think he will remove him...but he is considering painting a blindfold over his eyes.
As I was writing this, Steve Garban, the man who was the Chairman of the Board of Trustees at the time the shit really hit the fan (the Sandusky investigation really exploded...Paterno was fired, etc.) has resigned from the board. He had decided not to run for the Chairmanship back in January...but he was still a regular trustee until resigning tonight.
