Report: NCAA To Hit Penn State With “Unprecedented” Penalties
Deadspin ^ | July 22, 2012 | Sean Newell

Posted on 07/22/2012 8:32:31 AM PDT by John W

Tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. in Indianapolis, the NCAA will reportedly announce how it intends to punish Penn State following its handling of the the Jerry Sandusky scandal. The penalties have been termed "unprecedented" and will be leveled at both the school itself and the football program.

According to Armen Keteyian, a source had "never seen anything like it."

Things are happening quickly, now.

I support killing the program for 5 years. Bring about a 100% overhaul.

Let people understand how widespread the damage can be for keeping silent and allowing this stuff to go on.

The administration of Penn State will be forced to dance for one hour, on national TV, while wearing pink tutu’s. Then they will have to admit that they like turtles. Carry on...

Good. I was a HUGE Penn State fan for decades until last fall, but I agree its time for the axe to fall.

Start by officially naming them the “Nitally Lions”.

Over 90% of the people who will be affected by bringing down Penn State athletics had nothing with Jerry Sandusky and didn't even know Jerry Sandusky. Anyone who can be shown to be involved helping or protecting Sandusky should be prosecuted. Anyone involved in the cover up should be fired. People at Penn State who had nothing to do with this should be left alone.

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.

This is a cure for homosexual pedophilia and its tolerance by people who are now gone?

Why not just raze ol’ State down to the ground.
THAT will punish the chickenhawks who preyed on little boys and girls and the men (now dead or gone) who let them do so?

Lets go back and revoke the tax exempt status of Second Mile and re-tax everty contributor, too. After all they all are guilty, right

Make that 99.5% among the faculty and 100% among the students

What the “Death Penalty” will do is provide an incentive.

The people who suspected Sandusky had plenty of incentive to keep their mouths shut. Next time, seeing what happened to Penn State, they’ll have incentive to speak up.

That’s the theory, anyway.

I disagree.

I would send the message: homosexuals and child molesters ruin our society. They ruin our schools. They ruin everything. Do not tolerate them. Be vigilant, and report their transgressions at once, or else a lot of innocent people will be hurt -- and it will all be on you.

I never liked Joe Paterno. That said, if the NCAA punishes Penn State for something unrelated to competitive advantages that might have been gained, Penn State will sue and win.

College football is a tax exempt racket. It is where Republicans with too much money/time on their hands/need for an artificial identity give money to an institution that loathes them and takes their kids and tries to induct them into some cult of the Left.

No penalty will punish the real offence: the cover-up of an Administration because the perpetrator was a homosexual predator and they didn’t want to face the backlash from the PC crowd if they had called out this degenerate for what he actually was. The NCAA will say this is for covering up for a pedophile and will say nothing about the motivation for Sandusky’s pedophilia.

Also, what is the NCAA going to do about lesbian relationships between members of coaching staffs and players? Those are very common.

That’s the phrase used to describe the termination of a sports program for some specified period of time.

Bulldoze Penn State to the ground and then nuke it from orbit just to be sure.

You must be a huge college football fan like myself. We all know the NCAA always punishes non-revenue schools to send a message to the big money schools - who usually get off with a slap on the wrist.
