Football sanctions are a good start, but how about sending some of these low-life pedophile enablers to prison?!

Not exactly what happened but you get the idea.

I think the worst thing that could happen is for some prosecutors to try and convict administrators for looking the other way and then lose their cases.

Right from the start, Penn State has tried to lay all of the blame on Joe Paterno…I hope the Trustees and Administration all go to hell..Like Joe’s family, I would like to hear Joe’s side of it..
Yes, Penn State can tear down his statue…and then give back the millions Joe earned for them, as well as the millions he personally gave them.

@Fur, if one or more administrators knew about child abuse and refused to report it for fear of adverse publicity (or whatever reason) shouldn’t they be required to account for that?

What is the greater injustice: being indicted and acquitted by a jury, or not being charged at all?

At first I wasn’t for punishing the program, Paterno & Sandusky are gone, so why penalize the players, I thought. Then I read an excellent post at RedState.com today by Jeff Emanuel. He changed my mind…screw Penn State!

Is there something beyond the “Death Penalty” for the Penn State football program, cause that simply isn’t enough.

How about a “Drawn and quartered with body parts sent to the four corners of the Commonwealth Penalty”

Or how about a nice Roman Republic style decimation, with one in ten members of the Penn State administration being put to the sword

@RickeyG

Thanks for the heads-up – great article.

Like the idea of melting the Joe Pa statue into a plane bronze cube and leaving it on the ground in front of the empty stadium for years/forever.

If Penn State football receives the death penalty – either from the NCAA or the Penn State administration – this may likely effectively mean the end of several other sports programs as well. In most universities, football and basketball revenues finance much of the entire athletic department; combined with Title IX requirements, one could anticipate that Penn State may end up canceling all university sports.

Ironically, the football players themselves would likely come out of this just fine – they are elite football players and if sanctions are imposed, they are allowed to transfer to another school without penalty and most can probably do so easily. However, many of the other athletes in other non-revenue sports may not be so fortunate, and they may either be denied the privilege of competing at a Division 1 collegiate level or required to compete at lower levels (with decreasing scholarship opportunities).

What Paterno and the Penn State administration did was horrible, inexcusable and should be punished. However, and this has been my problem with NCAA sanctions as a general rule, the major effect of the punishment usually falls on the current players who had nothing to do with the scandal. Furthermore, in this case the effects of the punishment will not only affect the football players, but college athletes of other sports at Penn State who not only had nothing to do with the scandal, but had nothing to do with the football program.

Putting a sleep mask or blindfold over Joe’s (statue) face sounds appropriate too.
