Maybe it is just me, but if he was just told Sandusky was doing inappropriate things then I think he is in the clear. Who decides what is inappropriate, is taking a shower at the same time as an 10 year-old inappropriate? Unless he was given details, he really can just pass it on to his supervisors to have it investigated. As for following up maybe he just never thought of it when around his supervisors. I'm not positive, but I'd venture to guess he possibly never thought of the situation when he was around his supervisors to ask. I realize there was suspicion before, but if there was real smoke I'd operate under the assumption it possibly wasn't true or blown out of proportion. I do think people are getting really overzealous in their outrage when we don't have all the information.
On another note I hope PSU gave him his full salary for the remainder of the contract as he should be entitled to receive since he did all he was required to do. I really think Paterno would have done more if he really understood what happened, I can't see him sweeping that under the rug as he had nothing to lose by bringing it to authorities, but everything to lose by doing as he did.
