a vacation of all wins dating to 1998




Yeah because they sure gained a competitive advantage and used ineligible players.

Vacating wins for moral reasons...Awesome NCAA.

Arresting 95 year old Nazi crimianls doesn't make the streets any safer, but it needs to be done. It's called justice.

normally i would agree with this but for whatever reason this one time i don't. all they cared about was winning and making money, which is what put them in a situation where JoePa didn't say anything or at least didn't take the right actions to see it through. they deserve what they got.

@CharlesRobinson: Penn State signing "consent decree" is NCAA-speak. What it means is that PSU was fully on board. These are basically self-imposed penalties.

Seeing how Penn State is basically on board with these penalties, I have no problem with that.

This is my problem with the NCAA getting involved in this.

Next thing you know LSU will get sanctions for allowing the purple and gold rebel flag on campus.

This had nothing to do with competition on the field, so while lawsuits and arrest should be a part of the mix, NCAA penalties should not be.

DIAF. this is about changing the culture of a program and showing the world you cannot put your football program over the well being of human life.

You don't think enabling a pedophile by giving him access to kids and then covering it up by the entire athletic department in order to prevent news of it getting out affected the competitive advantage at all? How many recruits would've changed their minds knowing this stuff went on and the black eye the program would've had in the media?
