The Freeh Report and the Future of Penn State

[B-more Ravor]

See SMU and Oklahoma, circa mid 1980's.

Thanks for making my point. Those programs violated NCAA by-laws - recruiting violations, prohibited benefits to players, etc. - and were repeat violators (and had received previous punishment), which the NCAA's rule on death penalty calls for when applying the death penalty. They were appropriately punished, pursuant to those rules.

In this case, what the authorities at Penn State did was criminal, but not necessarily a violation of NCAA rules.

Again, what happened at Penn State is waaaay bigger than the football program. It show an educational institution that was totally out of control. The penalties should appropriately come from the authorities that deal with those issues - prosecutors, the State of PA and the Department of Ed.
