IMO, take all football away from them until 2020 and let all their current players and prospects transfer to other schools without penalty. Also, Penn State should pay reparations to anyone molested. Any other suggestions?
Here’s my suggestion. Revoke all sanctions until evidence is discovered that supports the conclusions of the Freeh Report.
When evidence is finally discovered, you can put the sanctions back in place.
Ryan McCombie, PSU board member: “Due process is not a theoretical concept to me. It is one of the core values that I fought for as a Navy Seal and as a 26-year veteran of the US Navy. I spent much of my adult life in 3rd world countries ruled by tyrannical dictators. Little did I know upon retiring from this exciting yet stressful vocation to bucolic Central PA, that I would become embroiled in a comparable experience here.”
Like I said, for me, if I were the NCAA no team from Penn State would EVER be allowed to play under the NCAA banner again, period.
This university showed, at its highest levels, that playing sports was more important than protecting kids.. they knew what he did and was going to do, and covered it all up just so they could protect their program.
If that isn’t repugnant enough for the NCAA to say, we don’t want you playing ever again under our banner, you have shown you are completely unworthy of the spirit and purpose of college athletics, nothing is.
Anything short of the death penalty, for EVERY sport at PSU, was a cop out, and not suprisingly the little whores at the NCAA copped out. NCAA showed its just as much worried about its money than it is doing the right thing, its basically an associate member of NAMBLA at this point.
I would have immediately expelled the university from the NCAA forever, allowed, and help any athlete at the school to transfer without penalty, and founded a fund to help the victims.
The NCAA had an opportunity to show its not just a money grubbing entity, and truly believes the PR line it feeds about why it exists, and it didn’t, it failed miserably. Whores, the whole lot of them.
Agree completely, however the later bit about reparations is a matter for civil court.
If anything deserved the Death Penalty, this did. The NCAA isn’t going to survive this. They hit SMU with the Death Penalty for far, far less.
The irony? The NCAA did what they did for THE SAME EXACT REASON Paterno covered it up - the money. How could they not see that?
