Seriously think of other violations... FSU is known as Free Shoes University because they gave some kids free shoes. TN has hostessgate because Lane Kiffin got hotties to meet recruits at campus visits. Bruce Pearl got fired because he had some families and kids out to a BBQ and made too many phone calls. SCAM Newton stole a laptop once and his dad tried to get some money for him to transfer to certain universities. Well none of that compares to 10 years of covering up child molestation. DEATH PENALTY.
Sure, LBRU (little boy raper U) has certainly shown "a lack of institutional control". DEATH PENALTY.
I'm torn on this... On the one hand, yeah, Penn State deserves the death penalty. No doubt. On the other hand, all the people that had anything to do with this atrocity will either be fired or in prison or both soon. I have qualms about screwing over the hundreds or thousands of people who earn a livlihood through Penn State football. Think of all the hotel owners, restaraunts, gear sellers, vendors, etc. that will lose everything. I just don't know. I'm starting to lean toward something more like a 5-10 year TV and Postseason ban, and loss of scholorships. Plus all players and commitments can transfer penalty free.
A lot of people will lose their jobs though. Businesses will suffer ect. Penn State is a brand and I'm sure a lot of people depend on that football program that are not even attached to that university. So yea, in a perfect world drop the BAN HAMMER... but I dunno. It isn't so black and white when you think about it.
Anyone who defended him was in denial. You had to be real naive to actually believe he didn't know more. Unfortunately we live in a f**ked up society where football is life and everything else comes second at any cost. Sh*t, I applaud those very few professors who actually had the balls to give a jock a failing grade because that's what they actually got. Coaches in movies who believe in doing the right thing are precisely that, coaches in movies.
