I feel that the NCAA was overreaching in the sense that they are handing out sanctions against a school for something that had no impact to what happens on the field/court. What happened was a criminal act by someone and the NCAA is punishing people who were not involved and likely had no knowledge of what happened.

Under similar logic, our Athletic Department should have sanctions levied against it by the NCAA for the financial "issues" that were recently brought to light to the tune of something like 20 million dollars.

I had forgotten that Pedo State hired James Franklin after players in his program at Vandy were involved in a rape case, and that he was on the record for contacting the rape victim about recruiting pretty girls, and how he wouldn't hire a coach unless he had a pretty wife?

I sure am glad they are back in the saddle over there.

"Penn State football deserves death penalty for cover-up"

In reading through the 14 page thread above.

1. Cr1028, 93-98, forevereagle and Five&Dime were all pretty upset over damage that was sure to come to Penn State if they got anything more than a hand slap on the wrist. A slap on the wrist is exactly what Penn State received and all is now forgiven and it's back to business as usual.

2 . LongJim owed UNT90 $20 over their bet that Penn State would/would not get the death penalty.

Also in that thread, this by TFLF, including a link to the report that some here need to reread, as they have bought into the false narrative to justify easing of sanctions against Penn St.:

http://www.scribd.com/doc/99901850/REPORT-FINAL-071212-1#download

"Full report - 267 pages - on scribd. Don't have time to read it, but just skimming it I don't see how Penn State escape without major sanctions. Full sections of Penn State continuing to give Sandusky access to the footbal facilities and allowing to hold camps there even after the 1998 and 2001 investigations.

This was a cover up aided by the athletic department and by the many in the administration. It's shameful that so many grown men could allow it.

How could any of them even stand to be in the same room with a guy accused of child molestion, much less continue to alow him to have access to kids with their full blessing on their campus using their athletic facilities? It's gross. Joe Paterno is a fraud. Give me the payment-under-the-table scandals of the 80s over this stuff. This is just horrible.

I hope Penn State is given a Death Penalty equal to or greater than that given to SMU in the 80s. Raping kids is worse than giving cash and cars to Eric Dickerson and his pals."

And from his reading of the report:

Here's the KA-POW moment in the report, Batman:

"For the past several decades, the University's Athletic Department was permitted to become a closed community. There was little personnel turnover or hiring from outside the University and strong internal loyalty. The football program, in particular, opted out of most of the University's Clery Act [my emphasis, the Clery Act is a federal law that requires certain University offical - in this case it was Curley, Paterno, and McQueary - to report sexual misconduct against minors to University Police officials so that they would be included in federal statistics. Curley, Paterno, and McQueary, according to the report, all failed to do so], sexual abuse awareness and summer camp training. The Athletic Department was perceived by many in the Penn State community as "an island," where staff members lived by their own rules." - p.139 of the report.

But you guys keep on believing Joe Pa was a saint, because that's what you were told over and over and over again growing up, and holding on to that perception is more important to you than any fact that will ever be presented. Human nature.

So, Joe Pa-dophile wins are back. Will Pedo St.'s wins be far behind?

So lets take a look at what one of their money making football programs being used to rape multiple children while the administrators of said program willfully ignored those rapes actually was assessed because of the rape of pre-teen boys:

A couple of lost scholarships for that program and that's about it.

Oh. And they had to pay $60 million. So I guess the NCAA is ok with pimping out children.

Pedo St. will emerge as the dirtiest program in college football in the coming years. They have been told they can commit the ultimate sin and suffer minimal consequences. They know the consequences will be even less for paying players and cheating their ass off from here on out.

I continue to hope that university never wins at anything. Ever.

Feckless, arrogant, self-aggrandizing, inept — if you needed just one episode to illustrate everything wrong about Mark Emmert's tenure as NCAA boss, he just handed it over, tied up with a bow.

No matter how Emmert and his lawyers try to spin it, the settlement announced Friday in the Penn State case was another big blow. Gone are the last of the sanctions levied against the school and coach Joe Paterno in a 2012 consent decree. Back are Paterno's wins and maybe now his statue, too, small consolation though they may be.

But most important, gone are any lingering doubts about the motives and methods behind the organization's ham-handed rush to judgment in the wake of the 2011 indictment of retired assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky on child sexual-abuse charges. Faced with a mid-February deadline to defend those actions in a real court, the NCAA threw up its hands and basically said "never mind."

http://www.bostonherald.com/sports/college/college_football/2015/01/jim_litke_maybe_joe_paterno_will_get_his_statue_back_too

They told us they had authority to knee-cap Penn State football. They told us on July 23, 2012 it was written right there in the NCAA constitution.

Except it wasn't. That's basically what the NCAA agreed to Friday: Its authority to impose such sanctions didn't exist.

Ever. . . .

In the last week, Oregon State president Ed Ray -- former chairman of the NCAA executive committee -- admitted he barely scanned the Freeh Report before pronouncing a sentence on Penn State.

The same Ed Ray -- USA Today reported Thursday -- was believed to have voted in favor of the death penalty.

The death penalty is what should have happened.

But the NCAA never really wanted it. They never really wanted to do anything or know anything about it.

That's why no one read the report.

Act like we are big and tough, wait a while, and then when the public has forgotten, ease the sanctions and claim ignorance.

Real close to walking away from college athetics.

Way to rewrite things. Those who were pushing for the death penalty were the ones who chose to remain oblivious to the facts.

"Those" being the one guy mentioned in an article published by CBS who has a vested interest in the Pedo St. cash cow pushing out that milk?

The NCAA wanted this to go away quick and fast so that the public would lose interest and they could reduce the "punishment" they were never going to fully enforce in the first place.

And I predicted it when it happened.

Oh my . . . you've been wrong about everything in this whole ordeal, and now you want to claim some kind of special prescience.

Told you the sanctions would quietly fade away.

And they have.

Next step is slapping that statute of Joe Pa-dophile back up in front of butt rape stadium.
