Going off on tangents get you nowhere dude. Why don't you get back on track here and focus, focus like a laserbeam OK?
This is a criminal offense involving Paterno and his superiors, not a violation of NCAA football or general athletic rules, there is a big difference there Mr. Einstein.
And as a side note, your equally ridiculous statement "The problem is that JoePa apologists like yourself NEVER go to bat for any of these college dui criminals (& assaulters)
Why should we, they're thugs! Unfortunately you fail to recognize the fact that their individual actions as athletes do not result in sanctions being imposed on their respective universities.
To impose sanctions on Penn State as a university for the possible civil actions of Paterno and his superiors is equivalent to preventing the sales of Chrysler autos due to the arrest of Sergio Marchionne.......
As I said previously, this is a criminal action against university management which has nothing to do with NCAA athletic rules violations and the NCAA has exceeded it's authority...
YOU: Why don't you get back on track here and focus, focus like a laserbeam OK? This is a criminal offense involving Paterno and his superiors, not a violation of NCAA football or general athletic rules, there is a big difference there Mr. Einstein.
Hey, I bold-faced & underlined it 4U...so that you could actually get on track and BEGIN to focus...
What is a DUI if not a "criminal" offense?
What is assault -- like the two BYU players accused of -- and charged in Provo UTAH -- if not a "criminal" offense?
Otherwise, are you serious? Are you awake? Did you forget your a.m. energy drink and coffee?
DUIs and criminal assault inside of a restaurant is not mere a "violation of NCAA football or general athletic rules..."...wow...you've gotta be the dumbest poster on FR...
Allow me to repeat myself--but reword it--to make it as clear as possible 4U:
If you are a college player...and you are arrested for a DUI offense...the effect goes beyond what happens in a criminal court...For example, like the Oklahoma State player arrested for a DUI, the effect of that meant football game discipline of missing one game.
For the two BYU football players charged with assault, the effect of that was (a) dismissal from the football squad; and (b) dismissal from the campus.
Genius...those are ALL things that go beyond the courtroom!
In these cases above, the penalties were imposed by (a) the coach in the Okla State case; and (b) first the BYU athletic dept in conjunction with the BYU coach in being dismissed from the team; and (c) the BYU admin in being dismissed from the campus.
If the coach, athletic dept, and even the university admin can weigh in in imposing penalties beyond the courtroom, ya better believe the NCAA has the power to sanction as well.
