So—the question was should the NCAA give PSU the death penalty or not? A lot of people are calling for it. These violations are a lot more serious than recuiting violations.
I don't know why you are asking this. Are you claiming that PSU incurred a gain of athletic talent because of these crimes, as they would in wrongful recruiting? Does the NCAA have a death-penalty provision for this type of crime? if not, are you advocating an ex-post facto action? The action rests with the NCAA, they can do whatever they want. You see, I'm not a believer in the punishment from association actions that are so popular with the Democrats and trial lawyers.
I strongly believe that the police better do their job and punish the persons who were involved in the crimes. Our society needs that. The NCAA will do what benefits them - nothing more. Just watch what comes out of this and see if I'm right.
