I posit this question . If a coach condones credit card fraud by another coach— ok, he is aware the other retired coach murdered his wife, would this justify the sanctions agreed to by Ped State? Why is is relevant to football? Why has the school football program been destroyed? Who were idiots representing Penn State? Sanctions have in the past related to a violation of NCAA rules. Do we now have a rule that if we know of a crime committed by anyone in the program— we banish football.We punished 87 innocent football players for the acts of two retired employees? This was a horribly stupid act by Ped State and the NCAA and totally misplaces the blame. I can understand get Pedterno’s name off campus but DESTROY FOOTBALL? unbelievable.

The school was aware of serious felonies committed by their top assistant coach. Failing to report those crimes allowed them to keep him around, allowed them to keep him as part of the football program, and allowed them to keep the Penn State name looking clean. All of these things caused them to gain competitive advantage vs. if they had reported Sandusky's crimes.

In order to gain this competitive advantage, the school took actions that allowed Sandusky to continue raping children.

The NCAA went far too easy on Penn State. If anything the entire school should be burned to the ground.

Talk about “over kill” What does Penn State have to do with this? Are we going to impute the crimes of a professor to the engineering department and stop students from graduating? Are we going to punish 93 young football players for the criminal acts of a retired pedophile and an old coach with Alzheimer? Why? Somebody give me an AMEN!! This is madness.
