I didn't see the point in punishing Penn State's football program. Vacate Joe Pa's wins from that time and take them away from the school, but almost decimating the program like that was bullshite.


Joe Pa and Sandusky got everything they deserved, and probably deserved more. Hell, you could have banned all those involved in the cover-up from football for life and then serve jail time. Those men were evil to the highest degree.

But there was no need in punishing the players and future players there. They weren't the ones that fricked kids in the shower.

It's pretty common for players and coaches uninvolved with NCAA offenses to suffer from sanctions. The NCAA rightly enacted a special provision allowing the players to transfer if they so desired, with no delay.

The program should have gotten the death penalty. The Penn State community showed an unacceptable lack of perspective. Their fanaticism immediately fostered a victim mentality overriding any rational consideration of the crimes that took place.

can't the same be said pretty much any time the NCAA comes down on a program?

I think this was a much bigger example of a program flying off the tracks then the shite the NCAA nailed USC to the wall for over the Reggie Bush crap.
