It just never really made sense to me. Its a good PR move for the NCAA, sure, but the football penalties never really made sense to me

Fine the ever living shite out of the athletic department, make their lives a living hell, make sure every guy that lead the program is fired, do all that and more, but giving a direct punishment to the current and new players and brand new coaches to try to make sure they are not good at football anymore, just makes no actual sense to me

None of these people were at Penn State when these infractions were found. Therefore, when they decided to set foot on campus at PSU, they knew that their football program was subject to sanctions. They are not being punished. They knew the possibilities to which they were subject, and they made their choices accordingly.

As far as the players who were at PSU when all this was found out, the NCAA allowed them to transfer without sitting out a year. Nobody is being unjustly punished.
