That's a pretty big brotherhood:

"It actually gets worse. Madden went on to say "When Sandusky quit, everybody knew; not just at Penn State. It was a very poorly kept secret around college football, in general. That is why he never coached in college football again and retired at the relatively young age of 55, young for a coach." Madden also called the Second Mile Foundation "the perfect cover" for Sandusky's scheme."

I think that these sex abuse scandals show that the more horrible the crime the more difficult people find it to deal with it. Because the sexual abuse of a child is so horrible, people just found it easier to ignore the problem and hope that someone else would deal with it.
