I absolutely hate agreeing with you, but you’re right. I’m angry, and the angry thing to do is shut down the program forever. But the program wasn’t responsible; individuals were. In fact, shutting down the program would be counterproductive because it would serve as a proxy for justice, while the people who turned a blind eye to the abuse, and enabled it, get to go about their lives. Much better to destroy them, than the program they were “defending.”

You don’t have to hate agreeing with me. Great minds think alike.

Thanks for the post.

I'm seeing a similar theme throughout this thread.

NCAA sanctions will not take the place of any civil suits or criminal prosecution.

The upcoming NCAA sanctions are an institutional punishment for the failure of proper oversight.

And for those who think that those currently at PSU are innocent, let's remember the riots that occurred when Paterno was axed. And the former chair of the Board of Trustees JUST resigned a couple of days ago.

Any penalty won't hurt the students who are there to get an education one bit.
