Two names I have now are Janitor A and Janitor B. And Freeh makes it clear this is a cultural problem that included many people, not just Sandusky and the 4 guys at the top.
Exactly.

Most places are extremely intolerant of child rapists. However, Penn State Football is a haven for a child rapist. Take away Penn State Football, you take away a pedophile's safe haven.
So by removing an entity...not infrastructure, not the accused...but a program, you'll stop pedophilia? Really?

Doesn't the NCAA have the right to punish any member institution on moral grounds? Doesn't every member institution have a moral code it must live up to?

And I mean everyone - from the coaches, administration to the receptionists, highly involved boosters down to the assistant equipment manager. EVERYONE. Then you put a panel that is completely independent of Penn State in charge of hiring new people. If everything was thorough and done the right way, that might be acceptable.

No but you do set a precedent that ignoring or covering up any such disgusting acts will get you hammered.

so what's your better idea?
My better idea is to keep the NCAA in its own jurisdiction, and let the law handle criminality.
It ain't rocket science.

How do you know none of those people would engage in pedophilia and/or harbor other predators? Do you replace professors? Graduate assistants? The secretary in Arts & Science?
Do you replace all nearly 9,000 employees (that's ONLY those involved with academics)?

This is in the ncaa jurisdiction.

The people currently with the football program had zero to do with these horrible events. If you're going to hurt them, then why not hurt the other sports?
Would a coverup occur because of the other sports? I doubt it.
The university as a whole is much more important than the football program or any other sport.

Does USC have another major scandal brewing? You sure don't won't PSU to get the hammer. Are you scared the NCAA will find out something about USC that you feel should only be handled by the justice system?

Too many people in other sports would be effected by shutting down football program....from a financial standpoint
The program will be crippled because the program was the reason for the cover-up.
Also, I would be floored if the only people that knew were those that have been prosecuted and JoePa. Our society as taught us that people aren't very good at keeping secrets

Editted that post. The Ncaa currently is the one who recieves the tax exemption. As for me starting the league, I don't have the resources to do so, yet. As for the stadiums, that would be up to the schools. The players wouldn't be employees due to Title 9. The stadiums could be leased but I doubt many schools probably would want to do business with someone who took their biggest market ingredient in the athletes.

You've said it's an entire culture all the way down to two random janitors. If we're using your speculative logic here then you would have to strongly consider replacing everyone. You know, since they're in the 'culture' and all.

If ever a program was running out of control it was USC. The fact they were not given the death penalty was because the NCAA did not have subpoena authority to question under oath the boosters, agents, and others. Honestly, USC got off easy. Deal with it.
Is this too long for sig quote? Because, my God man, this is just awesome.
