Don’t waste your time.
FR is no different than the entire media on this point, which seems to be engaged in a massive battle to see who can overreact the most.
If everything we’ve read is true, then the “guilty parties” at the university are either a) dead, b) in prison, or c) currently facing trial. The people who will be punished by the NCAA for a situation that did not involve any actual athletics programs are a) the residents of State College, b) students and student-athletes who were mostly in middle school when this happened, c) small business owners in State College, and d) Penn State alumni, all of which had nothing to do with the actual crime.
The NCAA referred to their punishments as “unprecedented” because they have thus far ignored all of their standards (investigations and hearings) and are accepting the Freeh report as basis for sanctions. They’re also possibly acting well beyond their actual authority, which can only be done with the willing acceptance of the University.
Make no mistake, the mob rules at this point. George Zimmerman has no chance. The reaction of many people, including the vast majority of FR, to this topic makes the reaction of the NBPP in Florida look reasoned in comparison.
95% of the German people didn’t participate in Genocide, but they still had to pay for what the Nazis did. Also, you CAN’T tell me that State Penn fans didn’t know there was something wrong with sandusky.

...if that’s your main point, then simply replace the place name State College with any other place name where a college program has been sanctioned and, well, I think you’ve pretty well described the effects of said sanctions on that place...
...I’m sure you know this...just curious why you apparently think anything should be different for PSU and State College...
