You shut up the rank and file in the hope that you can stop bad press -- it's cynical, but at the point you first learn of it, your institution might well not be culpable, and you have the responsibility to make sure that a guy like McQ doesn't go to irresponsible sources and the media.

Then you call HR and PR and the lawyers and your bosses and you don't go home until you have decided just how you are going to report it to the police and who is going to not sleep until it is resolved.

As opposed to actually doing the right thing, which is going to the police and severing all ties with Sandusky.
