I'm addressing only the sanctions, not the sex scandal.

There should be no sanctions as listed in the article above. I think there are more than that list shows.

I don't blame the alumni supporting the lawsuit. I'm with them in spirit.

I don't believe in punishing the innocent for five consecutive years down the pike.

I don't believe the NCAA is a court of law picking out on their own who is guilty of what.

I remember being in our crowded church on the Sunday morning after the assassination of MLK. The young, dewy-eyed substitute pastor fresh out of seminary leaned forward during his sermon, and pointing here and there and almost in a shout, said over and over, "YOU pulled the trigger, and YOU pulled the trigger, and YOU pulled the trigger......"

An usher, plus our township supervisor and I immediately got up and walked out.

As a conservative, I don't believe in socialistic mass guilt, nor mass innocence, nor not much mass anything....and I don't feel any now-and-future innocents in the Penn State football program as well as their now-and-future innocent fans should be punished for nothing just so the NCAA can proudly flex its muscles and scattershot its considerable firepower at the innocent and guilty at will.

Bingo. The NCAA has gotten too big for its own britches.

...no doubt you would be utterly flabbergasted to know that many other ‘innocent fans’ have been ‘punished’ by the NCAA throughout the years by NCAA sanctions...I’m also sure you realize that the punishment is aimed at the school and its administration of the offending program...
