I fail to see how mass punishment of university faculty and students, sanctions against entire sports programs, that had nothing to do with Sandusky and his cabal of enablers, “teaches” anyone anything...
...I’m curious as to what you mean when you say ‘mass punishment of faculty and students’...do you mean that they won’t be able to watch football for awhile? That’s considered mass punishment?
...In actuality, that’s an inconvenience, which hardly ends with Beaver Stadium deprived students...many people are inconvenienced every day. I went to three different colleges, none of whom fielded a football team...an annoying, but totally livable inconvenience for a huge football fan such as myself.
...what doesn’t advance the situation any are hysterical equations of temporary loss of fun and games with ‘mass punishment’...
You and I both know these sanctions will cost all of PSU more than fun and games for football players and fans, it is a big loss of revenue (that benefitted ALL programs and scholarships) and big loss of opportunity for many athlete-students
The faculty and students and football players at PSU did not do wrong. A cabal of MEN on the faculty and administration did wrong and those MEN should be punished. Will the PSU president and other adminstrators who failed everyone lose their pensions? How about the cops who failed to follow up? How about the smarmy grifters who ran “Second Mile” as a charity?
Unlikely
But everyone is too “PC” to really asign blame and correction. So you punish a “school”. Let the beatings commence until morale is restored.
