For anyone (and there are a lot of them) claiming that the NCAA has no jurisdiction or should just concentrate on individuals and not the program, allow me to introduce you to section 2.4 of the NCAA bylaws, the Principle of Sportsmanship and Ethics:

For intercollegiate athletics to promote the character development of participants, to enhance the integrity of higher education and to promote civility in society, student-athletes, coaches, and all others associated with these athletics programs and events should adhere to such fundamental values as respect, fairness, civility, honesty and responsibility. These values should be manifest not only in athletics participation, but also in the broad spectrum of activities affecting the athletics program.

That about sums it up, I'd say.

I didn't even address what the NCAA’s jurisdiction is. I don't care.

I said that this approach is meant to get people angry at the wrong people and punish the wrong people. It attacks people who had nothing to do with Sandusky and people who didn't know Sandusky. It goes after people who are completely innocent. If it is shown that people were involved with Sandusky go after them. If people were innocent leave them alone. It is as simple as that.
