It's only just begun. The drama now swirling around Penn State University after an indictment is released charging  former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky with multiple counts of sexual abuse against young boys has caused two administrators to step away from their jobs.

Athletic Director Tim Curley asked to be put on administrative leave and senior VP of Finance and Business Gary Schultz will return to retirement. Schultz had been in his position on an interim basis though he did work at the school when many of the allegations took place.

Both Curley and Schultz are charged with Perjury and failing to report a potential case of sexual abuse. The school's president, Graham Spanier is on recored saying "I have known and worked daily with Tim and Gary for more than 16-years. I have complete confidence in how they handled the allegations about a former university employee."


Spanier may regret those words.

Also on Sunday Penn State head coach Joe Paterno released a statement basically saying he was "Shocked" by the report and that he had no idea about what was going on.

The next step is a press conference by the Attorney General of Pennsylvania on Monday afternoon. Paterno will have his weekly media availability on Tuesday, and that will undoubtedly be heavily attended and Paterno won't be able to avoid the question. Mostly because the story has now been picked up by the national news types and others.

We will continue following this story and update it as the day...and week progresses.

ABC's Good Morning America tried talking to Sandusky at his home on Sunday:
