While this bullying is completely wrong, I wonder how much he was bullied prior to making the allegations against Sandusky ...

Obviously, being bullied before doesn't make this acceptable but it might demonstrate that the actual cause of the bullying is not that he made allegations or that Paterno was fired; but that he was an unpopular kid who would have been bullied regardless.

While things may have changed, I remember what it was like to be a teenager (many years ago) and bullying had little/nothing to do with what kids did and almost everything to do with their social status; and many low social status kids would be bullied for things their high social status peers would be celebrated for.
