What it did was to make sure that Paterno’s Legacy could never be used as a selling point in the future, and that’s pretty big.
What do you think Alabama would be today, if they didn’t have The Bear’s Legacy to sell?
No, what they did was cop out! The NCAA as of today has shown itself to be nothing more than an associate member of NAMBLA.
To allow this “university” to engage in ANY sport under the NCAA banner ever again showed abject cowardice.
The school, at its highest levels KNEW they were choosing protecting their program over the past and future safety of innocent children. PERIOD. This wasn’t one person, or a low level staffer, this was a consipracy that went to the highest levels of the school.
Allowing them to continue to play ANY sport under the NCAA banner shows that the NCAA is a joke, and frankly cares no more about those victims, than Penn State did.
“What do you think Alabama would be today, if they didn’t have The Bear’s Legacy to sell?”
As a Bama fan I agree with you. What a nightmare Penn State. I still cannot understand why they covered this up. This makes the SMU scandal look trivial.
