  • This is just the ncaa trying to be seen. They seem to love high profile cases in which the media takes a great interest. Just last they were saying not much could be done because there was no precedence or specific rules for such a case. If not for the media storm Penn St wouldn't have any sanctions.

    If the ncaa is genuine in their decision, lets see what type of preventative measures they take for future cases. Not only for coaches/admin but for student athletes who also break the law.

    Will NCAA self-impose sanctions on itself for lack of control in naming Graham Spanier to chair Emmert's Group on Athlete Welfare? Hmmm.

    Agreed. Do you know of anyone with a good opinion of the NCAA?

    Didn't think so: http://www.paulruschmann.com/clips/book_reviews/unsportsmanlike.htm

    "Byers now calls the NCAA a conspiracy against college athletes, and maintains that amateurism, the organization's cornerstone belief since its founding in 1906, has been twisted into an excuse for hypocrisy. Amateurism allows a free market for coaches, but imposes both a salary cap and a reserve clause on players."

    Unbelievable the the NZAA would swoop in so fast in this particular case. It seemed like forever for them to decide on the SC, OSU, UNC and Miami cases.

    I know we all have our different opinions on whether PSU should be punished, but I think we can mostly all agree that PSU losing scholarships is not a fair punishment. Why punish 6, 9, 12 or 30 kids for the actions of others?

  • It's difficult to comprehend how anyone would think it right to hide child abuse, in any form...much less to hide it to protect a damn football program?

    Unbelievable.

    Although the children are the first and only real concern...there are also innocent people in that large Penn State family that did nothing to merit this. No one will feel bad for them.

    I hope our own fans stay on this board and not feel the need to join the jackals we all know will flood their forums after the announcement Monday morning.

  • I feel bad for the nitty fateful, because they hade no idea that this sick stuff was happening outside of football and their holy man joe was not doing .What needed to be done ten years earlier and now the fans an the program will be bashed for a long time to come and the filth that lurks in humanity. That loves to bury themselves around events like this will, come in doves, not blaming the one's truely responsible but everyone there under penn state name it will follow them for life...thats the sad part a great program now lost.

    Are sancations were unjust and had a agenda behind it.

    But what will be slam down on penn will be emoral in sight and justified by many, yet in the end something has to give. An hopefully those kids can at least play sports, not feel dirty but innocent.

    So, to the penn state fans "Make Life Better"

    Fighton!

  • Covering up child sex abuse, indirectly destroying lives, all for the greater good of Penn St football. That should be enough to bar them from The NCAA forever in all sports, not that that is what I'm calling for... Nothing that's done to the Athletic Dept or University should be looked at as too harsh or unjust...

    They had a full FBI report to go off of. They didn't have to do any investigation themselves.

    I assuming you're being sarcastic. Penn State is an example of a lack of institutional control of the worst kind. Knew it...and didn't nothing about it for over a decade.

    Actually, they even took actions to allow it to continue happening...
