What Penn St didn't do was disgusting but the NCAA's but they weren't cheating to improve their game. Don't understand why the NCAA felt the need to do this.

Yeah. They needed to leave it alone imo.

I thought Grambling doing that was ballsy and really out of line. Wins should be the last thing on their mind. They should be more worried about making sure the victims are taken care of first. Then we can worry about wins later... much later.

I'm kind of with Ho. This is a legal matter instead of an ncaa matter. I've never cared for Penn state, but I feel bad for their fans having to go through this.

just for the sake of argument... isn't covering up to protect the product on the field tantamount to cheating?...

I can see both sides of this. Everyone that was involved has been removed from the program. The players and the current coaching staff are the ones being punished by the bowl ban. Not sure there is a perfect punishment for what was allowed to go on up there.

I think the NCAA has far too much power across the board.

This PSU thing is a different kind of institutional ugliness. It would have been hard not to act.

What makes it even worse is this is all that's being brought up on ESPN and other media outlets that cover sports because it is a big story but at some point you have to let go so people that were effected by this can start to heal.

Cazy crazy crazy is all I can say. So many punished for something that should ahve been stopped years ago. Many more victims got abused and now the university is paying the price. Sad part is, the top 4(well, 3 and a wife) are probably recieving pensions that will allow them to sit back aand be set for life.

Funny Jhen. I still have to put up new light fixture in bathroom so no worries. I sent wife a picture of newly painted guest bathroom and she now wants new light fixture. Gotta love it.

About to head home and continue packing. Less than six days left in the first house I bought. Not sure how I feel about it but it's long over due. Need a bigger house if I want a bigger family.

Had a friend that worked in the supply house I used to get my work stuff from named Jerry Sandusky. Was a great guy. He died about 10 years ago so he didn't have to go through all this crap. Couldn't imagine having the same name as that animal.
