If football doesn't exist at Penn State:

Good news for Ohio State's Buckeyes.

Five years, in my opinion. Let the players transfer to other schools or keep their scholarships, since it isn’t their fault.

Doesn’t matter to me, but I don’t see a reason to shut it down at all.
Coaches are all gone, new students now, President fired...

now if the board will resign...

why just the football program???

the former president, VP and the AD were also involved in the cover-up- the VP and AD are charged with perjury ....

no one on the PSU football team today was involved in anything w/sandusky...if its going to be the death penalty it should be all PSU sports considering the amount of decision makers involved in the cover-up...

Since it’s really ALL about the money, take that away from them.
Otherwise, there is really no actual punishment for their institutionalized looking the other way.

Close their football program down for at least five years, let them have to earn from the scholastic aspect of the university.

They DO teach something more than football?

Slash coach salaries too**, pay them the same as other instructors, less incentive to sacrifice children for $$$$$$$!

If the football program never recovers it’s former “Glory”, that’s a consequence they have deserved.

And pull down the stinking Paterno statue too!

**Slashing coach salaries should be done everywhere, too many coaches make more than state governors!
They take state funds, so the state should have a say.
If pro-ball wants to continue using the colleges as a farm system, let them put money into the ENTIRE university, not just the pockets of players essentially winning a lottery.

Louis Freeh’s investigation, released last week, concluded that top Penn State officials — including former President Graham Spanier and former head coach Joe Paterno — “repeatedly concealed critical facts relating to Sandusky’s child abuse from the authorities”

Shut down football at Penn State until the last rape victim has died of old age...

Penn State WILL NOT be given the so-called Deathy Penalty. Who is the worthless, corruption CAUSING NCAA to judge any program anyway? The damage is immense and lasting to both PSU and the football team. Who would want to play there now? The nutty football fanatics will have nothing to cheer about for years. What better punishment is there than that?

The following joke says it all|:

They are moving the statue of Joe Paterno from the front of the football stadium. They are moving it to the front of the library to remind people to be quiet.

(You can certainly argue that SMU should be lauded, not punished, for allowing revenue-producing players to get a piece of the college football revenue pie)

I disagree. Student athletes already receive an all-expenses paid scholarship which for most non-athlete students cost from $10,000-$20,000 per year, or more. And many of these non-athlete students pay for their college expenses with student loans which have to be paid back.

Instead of punishing the players, how about big fines & jail time for the officials?
