I’m in no shape or form defending Penn State....

What I think is over the top is basically two people, one who is dead...caused this terrible evil to exist and continue...

The players are the ones who are going to get hurt the worst and they had nothing to do with this....

Sure fine then 60 million, no bowl games, but to take away their wins just seems like too much...the players won these games and they will carry the burden of the punishment ....

How so? Are you referring to current or past players? The current players can resume their careers at other universities. As far as the former players, many of them were able to play in the NFL because of the reputation Penn State had at the time they were there, so you can't take that away from them.....and just because in the official records the wins may not be there, doesn't take away any of the memories and sense of accomplishment they may have had while there at Penn State.....and even if they are somewhat punished, it pales in comparison to the punishment that Sandusky's victims received.
