Some massive penalties there NCAA. 

Remember when the NCAA defenders said the sanctions would cripple Pedo St for decades? Remember when I laughed and said hide and watch? Well, here we are. 

In the eyes of the NCAA, college football is more important than the raping of the children of the Happy Valley and greater Pennsylvania community.

The NCAA is a disgusting, morally bankrupt organization that has sold its soul to ESPN and television contracts. I wish it would die the slow death it so richly deserves. 

Sometimes I wish the P5s would just split so the rest of us could get back to real college athletics.

Sometimes...

I understand your frustration. I think that those who are responsible for the victimization of those kids, now men, paid for it (most at least). I think that punishing the institution and the current coaches and kids was never the appropriate course of action but that is the only weapon the NCAA has to threaten people with.

The current kids could have been allowed to transfer without sitting a year. I think that may have even been part of the sanctions. So get that BS outta here. It's a terrible excuse because you simply like college football and like the status quo. 

"Institutions" are made up of people. A lot of powerful people that made up this "institution" willfully turned a blind eye to the anal rape of young boys. Let that sink in for a minute. 12-15 year old boys being anally penetrated by the DC of the football team. Having a grad assistant report it, only to have it covered up to protect the "Saint" image of Joe Pa, who was anything but...

Yes, the institution deserved the death penalty for allowing the multiple anal rapes of children by a faculty member in a school facility and lying to cover it up. Are you forgetting that the school president and AD were indicted for perjury for lying to a grand jury? Hence continuing the coverup to protect the "institution" and themselves? Probably represented by school attorneys the whole way. 

It's disgusting to see that university playing a bowl game 2 or 3 years later.

North Texas was affected in an odd way by the way the dominoes fell after the Sandusky scandal at Penn State.

North Texas would have hosted Michigan in the Jan 1, 2014 Heart of Dallas Bowl if Penn State was not suspended from postseason play. Michigan subsequently moved up one slot in the Big Ten bowl slots and and played in the Texas Bowl in Houston while the Heart of Dallas bowl was relegated to taking a UNLV team that sold very few tickets and was not much of a television draw.

Such a missed opportunity for our program. We could have been in a bowl with a storied program, possibly beaten them, and our fans and band could have gotten a good lesson on what "game day" is really all about.

 

Of course, how many great game venues have our fans and band gone to in the past (UT, A$M, OU) and they still haven't learned about what a great game atmosphere is and the TRUE role of a college band. No reason to think that Michigan could have made a dent in their indifference to what their role is supposed to be.

 

Of course(2) it could be worse. Our band could be like this......

When things are good it is a credit to the institution and the head coach! When things go bad all the sudden they know nothing and are the dummest guys in the room!  Wait is this college sports or Wall Street! Hello Rick Petrino, what a joke!

We are talking anal rape of children, not wins and losses.

Or are wins and losses just more important to you?

I agree with everything you said honestly. I just don't think it is really an NCAA thing. I think that the university should have to answer for it Legally... and I wish more heads could have rolled, even retrospectively. But I am fairly uncomfortable with the lack of legal punishment in place of NCAA reprimands that are doled out unevenly. That is all. I believe there was some sort of break in the process that allowed PSU to get back into bowls so soon.

I am agreeing with you dummy! It is about holding people responsible no matter what their title!

I would agree that it isn't an NCAA  jurisdictional thing IF Sandusky has done this at home or at his camp that wasn't associated with Pedo St.

He didn't. His camps were on Pedo St. property and used Pedo St. facilities. Pedo St. continued to allow the camps after having information of wrong doing by Sandusky had been reported to them. That puts it smack dab in NZcAA jurisdictional control and is the worst "lack of institutional control"  to ever have occurred during the NCAA's existence.

And, in the words of Dennis Green, they were who the NCAA thought they were, and the NCAA let them off the hook.

Forget the death penalty, just kick them out of the NCAA entirely.  They don't belong.

It is sickening that they still draw huge crowds to football games.  If that was my school, I'd be done with them forever.

I'm content facing UNLV and beating them rather easily.  I'm not so sure we have a game like that if we're playing a P5 and it could have been a blowout the other way and that would have looked far more poorly from our casual fan base.
