Meh Joe Pa is dead and Sandusky is in jail. Let them move on and stop punishing the kids who had nothing to do with it
I totally disagree with this. You could say the same thing about any team that got sanctions
They got the5 years and should have served them

if the current admin looked the other way.

If those responsible have been dealt with, then it's done

Honestly punish the university officials don't punish kids who weren't even born when this shite happened
Posted on 12/3/16 at 8:25 pm to Byron Bojangles III
All the people that covered it up are dead or will be punished, correct? If no one there now was involved, why should they be punished?

The NCAA never had any business sticking their nose in the Penn State situation. They enforced sanctions based on a situation which they have no authority over whatsoever.
It was a complete farce

Because the precedent must be set. That type of bs should be a death penalty. I mean, seriously, the fact they are even playing this game is appalling.

JoePa was there for so long he's family to that school and it's fans. When family fricks up, you still hold a soft spot for them and that's how I view PSU fans with JoePa. I don't think that means they agree with everything that went down, or the way he handled everything, but that doesn't change my initial point.

I would argue that the cover-up of the Sandusky mess had more to do with the football program(protecting it) than any other one thing. But wait, not only did they cover it up...they gave the perv his own office...on campus.
I don't give one single frick about their football program. They setup shop for a pedofile and then looked the other way while he raped little boys in their showers.
Posted on 12/3/16 at 9:18 pm to Jabstep
Penn State should have paid for their pedophile ring with the death penalty. It's a disgrace that they are actually playing in this game.

If you look at most pedo state fans they look like fricking children is the only time they can get laid.

Again, those people are dead or out of the program. No one there now had anything to do with it.
Posted on 12/3/16 at 9:32 pm to RLDSC FAN
And again I'm not arguing for them to be penalized today
Posted on 12/3/16 at 9:33 pm to Jabstep
I get what you're saying, but this rhetoric implies that football is some sort of currency that can atone for such atrocities, which is sort of the problem in the first place. Penn State's problem was caused largely by their placing too much value on football. If we're still going to worry about football sanctions at this point, we're doing the same thing.
The university got popped for $60million and just this week, for $7million more. Now we're talking.

How could paying a kid or an academic scandal warrant tougher sanctions than what took place at that University?
$$$$
They want more of it.
Prohibiting the athletes from getting money helps the NCAA, media, conferences, and athletic departments keep more of the money. Lifting sanctions on a historic university with a loyal fanbase and alumni also brings in more money.
In case you haven't noticed, college football is all about money.
