These two incidents (and their punishments) are hardly analogous .

They also had free chances to transfer and not go there.
So if someone grew up a Penn State fan and is recruited by PSU, what does that guy do? If he really wants to go to PSU, what do you tell him? Sorry, if you come here you're getting punished for someone else's actions? Oh, but you could go somewhere else even though you really won't wanna go there.
Just drop some fine or some shite on the university and let the players play.

Again, take a drive through PA between Pit and Phi. There's literally nothing there, and PSU is right in the middle of it.

Well, that's obviously nonsense, but I also understand the "punish only those involved" argument. Of course, that's easier said than done.
That being said, I suppose the sanctions were the best course of action.

Watching a full blown cult of personality is both fascinating and terrifying

If they want a statue of Joe Paterno on their campus then fine let them have it. Who are we to say otherwise, we don't live there or have to live with it.

Come on man. People in that program knew their DC was having sex with boys from his charity, at the school, and covered it up. They should be happy to have a football program.

It's beyond sad that I agree with this instead of making fun of you.

It helps you understand the cult though.

He was no longer their dc after the 99 season.

You'll let me know when we can have nice things again, right?
Posted on 9/8/14 at 8:57 pm to Korin
And?

Just making a correction.

All college football fans are cultists. Your perspective changes when you go from outsider looking in to participant.

You still don't get it.
It's called...embedding.
The first thing you hear regarding this scandal - you think it's forever gospel and the truth despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
