From reports it appears that they are going to really hit PSU really hard!

Weak as in it not their purview to impose a fine, let alone a relatively large fine, on malfeasance not directly related to NCAA college sports.
Boot PSU out for a generation and let them apply again in the future.

Minimum 2 year death penalty for all sports, reduced scholarships for all sports for ten years sounds appropriate

If he looked, it wouldn’t be hard to find someone named Paterno with mob connections

A huge fine without the addition of the death penalty should be looked at as a payoff. An apology to SMU may be in order.

One of the best things would be to severely limit psu’s scholarship allotment to about 20 per year for several tears, crippling the program. Let ‘em cheer for Pedstate as they lose to Indiana University.

Bulldoze Pedo State to the ground and then nuke it from orbit just to be sure. And take that abomination of a statue to the Fort Sill artillery range and use it for target practice.

Was a great school.
A place offering annual events.like “Cunt Fest” and “Sex Faire” have become sleazy party schools, what ever else goes on.
When Spanier’s mess is cleaned up, it might become good again, but as things now stand the entire university is deserving of ridicule. As is any individual even if unconnected who tries to claim other wise.
Give up on this one, and throw your effort where it belongs - working with other alumni to clean things up, even if it means litigation to restore the lost value of your degree.

Just what would the infraction be to earn a death penalty?
To: God luvs America
“they will use the Sandusky affair to fill their own bank accounts and may give a pittance to the victims or victims groups to make themselves feel better...”
That is why I suspect that in the absence of death penalty for the football program this is nothing more than a payoff by Penn State, a bribe to keep their program going.

Wait till the victims get their lawsuit judgement.

I am a PSU fan. Have been since my youngest years. PSU isnt going to dwindle away.
Its a great school. The Sandusky crimes, and those of the officials who didnt do all they could to stop him, are the crimes of those who participated. Collective punishment stinks and any so-called conservative who pushes collective guilt and punishment is welcome to kiss my lily white tookus.
Because a few dirtbags failed, are we to flog the entire community?
Let those who did the crimes do the time.
I do agree with you. The perp has been tried and found guilty, justice has been handed out. It's time to move on. I mean, we could play these coulda, shoulda, woulda games until the cows come home on who should have done what but I always maintained the that it is up to the victims themselves to bear the responsibility of reporting any possible crimes to get the justice system rolling (unless a policeman catches them in the act). Yeah, maybe Paterno and the administration could have done more, I don't know. We have to remember, Paterno was born in 1926, he is/was part of a generation that did not go out of the pecking order much like we do now, I'm sure he told his higher ups about it and maybe he thought things would get done.
I think the NCAA is being, way way too punitive on Penn State, they might as well drop the Tsar Bomba on the place, yeah, that will show them. B-P
I just don't like all of this finger pointing and frontier justice that seems so prevalent in these post against Penn State. We need less knee-jerk reaction here.
For the record, I never went to Penn State but have relative and friend who went there. I know I'm going to get clobbered but I figure someone has to speak out.

I can see the thug wannabes are alive and well on FR.
One wonders if their ‘’sense of justice’’ would be offended if someone in their family were charged and convicted of a crime and powers that be came to their door and demanded a pound of flesh from them to atone for what a relative did. After all, they might have had an idea their relative may have done something wrong, and maybe not. But, they should have known. Guilt by proximity and surname or genetics. Makes no difference. Someone from the east side of ‘’Anytown, USA’’ committed a heinous crime...well, let’s carpetbomb to the city limits. Damn the innocent folks downtown. Brutal justice must be served.

That is a strawman arguement. The school through its most powerfull officals chose to commit the vilest of crimes and in doing so they violated their contracts with the NCAA. If they don’t like it they can always choose not to be part of the NCAA.
Using your logic Ford Motor Company shouldn’t have had to pay out any money over the Pinto because the decision to cover up the dangers and not repair the problem was made by some people in the company and forcing them to pay lawsuits would only punish innocent Ford workers who had nothing to do with that decision.

Penn State’s endowment is said to be $1.7 billion, subsidized by the US taxpayer. Sixty million won’t hurt much, but wait ‘till the lawsuits hit.

Thats more than Penn State is worth. I have a feeling that there are ten or so families and their lawyers that are about to find out exactly how much Ped State is worth.

You are correct, I was wrong. The NCAA decided to take a stand against pedophile enablers.
One simple phone call to cops in 2001 and Joe Paterno could have been a hero for standing up for children and taking a stand against pedophiles.
That's all it would have taken. Just one phone call.
To: Cdnexpat
Simple solution. Punish the guilty.
You advocate a shotgun to perform brain surgery.
By the way....whatever did the NCAA ever do to the Duke grand muftis over the judicial lynching of innocent lacrosse players? Did the faculty ever pay a price for their mob mentality?
You know the Duke dukes suffered not a bit. The NCAA is corrupt as the day is long. If any organization deserves a ‘’death penalty’’, it is the NCAA.
