The NCAA has several morality clauses in its bylaws which clearly entitle the organization to ban Pedo State outright. They offered a compromise which allowed Pedo State to A: keep playing, without subjecting itself to opening the records and staff access to yet another investigation followed (in the probable estimation of those who were in charge at the time the deal was offered) by a lengthy suspension from NCAA athletics period along with public revalation of additional dirt turned up by the new investigation.

The NAMBLAny Lions got the lightest sanctions possible for them. Rhythmic Slappy Valley ain't gonna just waltz away from decades of homosexual child rape.

Here’s the problem.

1. They do not clearly entitle the organization to punish Penn State. The way they have selectively chosen to enforce it in the past (Baylor basketball coach covered up a murder and they didn’t invoke it) would work against them in court.

2. The President of Penn State acted without consulting the BOT. The university by-laws do not allow the President to write checks prior to consulting the BOT, which happened in this case.

3. Louis Freeh’s report has more holes than Barack Obama’s birth certificate. I’ve read it in its entirety and the conclusion that this was a massive coverup to protect the university’s image is not even remotely supported at all by the facts in his report. Louis Freeh also recently wrote a report on a FIFA (soccer) President that resulted in the man’s lifetime ban from the sport. That ban was lifted last month by a Swiss court that ruled Freeh’s conclusions didn’t match the evidence provided. (Sound familiar?). Louis Freeh is also a left-wing political hack who ran a very shady FBI back in the 90s. Guess what Joe Paterno was? A life-long conservative Republican. Freeh was hired to do exactly what he did. Pin it all on Paterno.
