Even Sandusky was afforded by our legal system “Due Process of Law”.
Shouldn’t those at Penn State who had nothing to do with this scandal be accorded the same???

NCAA is a private self regulating body, it has nothing to do with the US Governments legal system, your attempt to equate the two is laughable.
There is NO DOUBT Penn State ACTIVELY covered up Sandusky, you can quibble about WHO exactly was involved and who wasn’t, but there is NO DOUBT, NONE that powerful people within the university CONSPIRED to cover this up.
Here’s the facts that folks that are defending Penn State just don’t want to face...
In 1998 Penn State held an internal investigation into Sandusky after a mother complained her son had been molested in a shower by Sandusky at Penn State. The entire investigation was kept quiet at the time, and when it was through Sandusky suddenly “retires”. PEOPLE AT PENN STATE KNEW, and KNEW by 1998, if not long before WHAT SANDUSKY WAS DOING... those in power consciously decided to COVER THIS UP! It wasn’t arbitrary that the NCAA picked to vacate wins from 1998 on.. they chose that date because it is undeniable, that from that date forward People in power at PENN STATE KNEW what Sandusky was doing, and chose to cover it up. They chose not only to cover it up knowing what he had done, and that he’d keep on doing it, but they continued to let him use their facilities!!
This Penn State is innocent is NONSENSE.. this isn’t a criminal prosecution, its a private governing body that PENN STATE voluntarily CHOSE to belong too.. no one forced Penn State to be part of the NCAA, and the NCAA is under no obligation to meet the legal standards of a criminal prosecution to punish or ban a university from their ranks.
Your argument is a non starter, and frankly foolhearty.
Penn State knew, by 1998 the knew damned well what Sandusky was doing, and instead of turning it over to the authorities, they held an “internal” investigation and brushed it under the rug, so he could keep on doing it for nearly another decade and a half! Who exactly knew, you can debate until the cows come home, but there is absolutely no doubt the powers to be at Penn State knew and conspired to protect their program and one of their own over protecting innocent children. This cover up wasn’t the work of just one person, it was a conspiracy that required very powerful people to happen.
This Penn State is innocent is nonsense, and frankly the NCAA copped out. Penn State should never again ever play a sport under the NCAA banner if they truly believe the PR Like they feed about what College Athletics are about, you can’t get more corrupt than a university who’s leadership knowingly allowed a pedophile to roam its halls and prey on boys rather than do the right thing just to protect their sports program.
