Looks like the NCAA is about to go head hunting now...

[vols-1]

FYI:

NCAA says no to Paterno family appeal of sanctions

"The Paternos' letter, obtained by Onward State, an online news organization serving the Penn State community, states that the NCAA "acted hastily and without any regard for due process" and that the Freeh Report is "deeply flawed because it is incomplete, rife with unsupported opinions and unquestionably one-sided." The Paterno family also had requested an in-person argument before the Infractions Appeals Committee, the letter states.

You Sir know your facts. I'm still waiting for the NCAA to strip PSU of all OOC games for a season!!!

There was an investigation, and the DA couldn't get enough evidence to charge Sundusky, or send it to trial for that matter.

I'm not too sure about that one. There was certianly some evidence there, even a confession from Sandusky that he showered naked with one of the victims back in 1998 in the grand jury report in November of 2011.

Jerry Lauro, an investigator with the Department of Public Welfare, testified that during the 1998 investigation, Sandusky was interviewed on June 1, 1998, by Lauro and Detective Schreffler. Sandusky admitted showering naked with Victim 6, admitted to
hugging Victim 6 while in the shower and admitted that it was wrong. Detective Schreffler advised Sandusky not to shower with any child again and Sandusky said that he would not.

What did the NCAA do to ever prevent this from happening again??

If your answer is anything except "nothing", then you are honestly pretty naive to think that reducing some schollies and fining a university, is going to keep some sicko from molesting children.

No, but it might make TPTB at another institution think twice before covering it up.

You get on people about using hypotheticals; however, this is exactly what you argue here.
