NCAA source: unprecedented penalties against Penn State Monday

Submitted by Leaders And Best on
Not sure what this means, but if they are announcing it without a letter of inquiry, it probably means Penn State administration and AD is in agreement. I am guessing a fine or profits donated to charity with no TV ban or death penalty.

but it's not possible now. I'm pretty sure their entire athletic department rests on the revenue of football. Cancelling that kills all other sports.

Also, what about the teams that play PSU? Do they get a free bye week? Maybe scramble and play anyone free? How does that play with the BCS computer?

No PSU football also hurts the B1G. What about revenue from the BTN?

Shutting down PSU helps nobody (not the victums). Letting current players go and schollie reductions are best. Bowl game ban also hurts the B1G.

Was it more fair for USC players to suffer penalties for things one person--Reggie Bush--did, even after he went to the NFL? Also given the fact that the coach, who is alleged to have turned a willful blind eye to what was going on, had also left for the NFL? Were those sanctions more fair to the USC players who had nothing to do with it than the PSU ones would be? I have spent half my life in universities, and never, in any capacity, have I seen such institutional corruption, misplaced priorities and downright contempt for the mission of the university as I have in this case. And it is all about the football program. The conspiracy and cover-up was, 100%, done to "safeguard" the reputation and sterling name of the athletic department's cash cow. And if the Freeh report is to be believed, it involved all 4 of the top officials with authority over the athletic department, football program staff and students involved in it. At least 4 innocent boys were raped after the decision to cover it up as well. This is why the football team has to face sanctions. And yes, it is unfair to those who had nothing to do with it. But that doesn't make it any different from any other NCAA team sanctions. And in this case, at least, it is necessary to make it clear that this type of institutional and leadership failure cannot be tolerated, excused or be allowed to happen again.
