re: Let's do a vote. Death Penalty for Penn State?

Yes to death penalty. All of the current players will be able to transfer with no penalty. No player that has the talent will "have his career ruined". There will be some lost jobs to innocent people but at this point who really knows how deep the corruption went.

3) Punish the memory of the dead

4) Make us all feel better

5) Allow us to move on - and not have to talk about PSU and be reminded of what happened by the presence of their football team...which might accidentally spark continued meaningful dialogue about the incident and annoy the hell out of us.



So you think that crap is worth potentially ruining the college career of every current Penn State player and hundreds of lost jobs?

You people can't be this stupid

I should be asking that...

It was called sarcasm in the extreme.

What about the 3rd string WR that is about to be a senior who has practiced his arse off for 3 years and won't get to go on the field with his parents on senior day? I guess it is fine and dandy to ruin that for him so you can "teach a lesson" to people who are no longer at Penn State.

I also think its hilarious that people think its easy breezy to transfer schools. What schools are going to take transfers at this point?
What are the odds that a school that will take you even has your major?
Are all your credits going to transfer?
What about the relationships outside of football that you forged you have to just up and leave them behind if you want to continue playing football?

Also lol at "some lost jobs".
A Penn State football gameday probable creates 1000-800 jobs not to mention the businesses around the area who's business is predicated upon the 100,000 people showing up on those 7 saturdays.
What about the new coaching staff are you paying them their full salary for sitting around doing nothing?

No

No

You haven't been around here long, have you?

To those who say no death penalty (Im not even fully for that) how about severe sanctions? I dont understand how anyone thinks the NCAA should do nothing when the AD was actively covering it up in the interests of sports.


IMO I think the program needs to be turned into Baylor basketball. Take away a severe amount of scholarships bowl bans for a decade (exaggeration but yall get the point).

It's not like the average PSU fan, or players, for that matter, knew this was happening and assisted to cover it up,

i have to think we're only just beginning to learn who knew what and when. at a minimum we know that the janitors, mike mcqueery and his family, paterno, the president, the AD, the victims' families, and everyone involved in the 1998 investigation knew.

that's a lot of loose tongues out there, and probably a lot of paper trails yet to get sniffed out.

speaking hypothetically now, how would you feel if sandusky was passing boys off to a couple of big time penn state boosters through the second mile?

I had actually heard at the very beginning of all of this shite that there might be some credibility to this rumor. Also I had heard there may have been some mob money tied up, which is why there is still an ongoing FBI investigation right now. Either way I could care less about the 3rd string WR who was never going to have a career in football anyway. Get your free degree and move on with your life. Players that have a chance to play in the league will certainly find a place to showcase their abilities, but that place SHOULD NOT be Pedo State University.
