The program should absolutely be shut down for a while, at least two years.

I don’t see the NCAA doing that. I don’t see Penn State doing that. It’s all about money.

If SMU deserved the death penalty for cheating, how much more does PSU deserve a punishment 10 times worse....

When asked why he didn’t retire a decade or so ago, Joe Paterno stated: “It would leave college football in the hands of the Jackie Sherrills and Barry Switzers”.

I lived in Murphy, TX and would drive by the SMU campus and the whole campus was quiet during their suspension. Like dead.

Considering the severity of PSC inaction while these young boys had their lives changed forever I would easily recommend a permanent revocation of NCAA football status and no revenue from any TV coverage of any sport at PSU.

When the coaches, executives and some board of trustees members closed their eyes to these despicable acts they deserve the most severe punishment possible.

I agree with you. The Big 10 and NCAA will not let a top tier team to be shut down. To much money.

There will be a “special” program before the first game, and then Penn State will pretend it never happened.
