I will be honest, I just to not see "justice" being served here in any way.
I personally believe that there is a special place in hell for people that commit crimes such as these, and I fully support the pursuit of justice in the court system to the absolute FULLEST extent that the law allows (and wouldnt cry honestly if some jailhouse justice was administered as well).
That said, this, IMHO, does nothing to further that cause, and only looks out for the interests and power of the NCAA as an organization itself, and helps to silence the ever louder cry of those that want something, anything, to be done.
This will have a far more reaching impact than on just the Penn State football program and the University itself.

Yeah? How many decades did the coaches and administration cover it up?
Or are you going to just keep tossing out irrelevant garbage without backing anything up?
i still don't understand what the shock is here. this is the way the NCAA handles EVERYTHING. why would they handle PENN ST. any different?
That's the problem, they never went after anybody like this, this was a criminal act, they never went after ANY school who committed a criminal act.
No shock, I knew that the NCAA would find a way to involve themselves.i still don't understand what the shock is here. this is the way the NCAA handles EVERYTHING. why would they handle PENN ST. any different?
What I am expressing is disagreement with what they did based on the nature of the case versus others (and no, in no way shape or form am I saying this is not as bad as recruiting violations, just different), and they procedure that they used to do it.
What about the culpability of the local DA's office in this whole mess?? They declined to pursue charges against Sandusky during the original investigation back in 1998...
if you're not shocked then my post doesn't apply to you
you don't owe ME any explanations . question, have we ever heard or seen anything similar to what happened in penn st occur at another university?
Does this mean that JoePa no longer has the record for most wins? Or will there be an asterisk?
He is no longer the winning est coach in college football, at least as far as the record books are concerned.
see that i don't agree with. i realize the cover up by joe pa in this situation but those wins had nothing to do with the horrific acts that occurred at penn st.
Some of you are sounding like many in Happy Valley.
For the 1st time, if ever for me.. I agreed with what was brought down.
Those at the university, both athletic staff and those employeed by the university, thought the schools reputation, especially the football program...was MORE important than the sexual abuse that was going on the school grounds and under supposed the 'watchful eyes' of the supposedly 'caring' staff and officials.
And for those that are complaining about those 'paying for the sins of the past'...you will more than likely NEVER get 'real time' sanctions because the investigations can take years and players and coaches leave.

Probably not. Listen I think Sandusky should go to jail plus with anyone that covered it up including Paterno if he was still alive, I just don't think the NCAA has a right to stick their nose into this.

the issue CY is that these are uncharted waters for the NCAA. honestly, most were going to think it wasn't enough or that it was too much. either way this will set an example for those universities who have staff members deciding to cover up something disgusting as this or any other crime. as i said before, the one thing i don't agree with is with the removal of those wins.everything else i agree with. but we all knew something was going to and had to happen.
