PSU actively covered up child rape for 14 years. Over those 14 years, the football program made hundreds of millions of dollars.

If Paterno and others had reported Sandusky as soon as they heard the allegations the program wouldn't have been hurt, Paterno would be a hero, and Sandusky's victims throughout the years would have been spared.

PSU will still have a filled football stadium over the next four years. People will spend plenty of money there and everyone will still have a job. They got off easy, IMHO. Paterno got off easy, too, by dying.

There are appropriate criminal and civil penalties. The NCAA violated due process, excess punishment, standing, and relevance principles all over the place. This is an abomination bigtime.

“PSU” did not cover up rape anymore that corpoartions pay taxes

PSU is not a person
PSU is tens of thousands of students and thousands of faculty at multiple campuses- mutiplied over a 11 year period is hundreds of thousands of students

a number of MEN on and off the coaching staff and adminstration and the local POLICE covered up rape-
So punish THEM

"PSU" did that? Actually a handful of despicable cowards covered up, and they're either dead, in prison, or soon will be.

I thought conservatives were against guilt by association...

Hosting a child rape operation should be costly.

Sports has become too tolerant of all crimes committed by players and coaches. Character should count in sports.
