Do you agree with the punishment for the Joe Paterno cover up of the Sandusky ******ry?
-A punitive fine of $60 million, equivalent to a full year of football-generated revenue, to be used in an endowment for programs dealing with child sexual abuse or assisting victims.
-Joe Paterno's record 409 career wins are knocked down to 298 as the Nittany Lions must vacate all wins from 1998-2011.
-Four-year postseason ban, both from bowl games and the Big Ten Championship.
-Players may transfer to other FBS schools and are immediately eligible to play.
-Athletic department on probation for five years, with an NCAA-appointed athletic-integrity monitor being brought in to ensure no further violations are made.
(My Thoughts)
To me 60 million over ten years for PenState isn't that bad, as long as it not the students who have to make up the difference in tuition because then you're punishing someone not involved.
They should have left the wins alone, a win is a win, idc if your a child molester, if your a better coach your a better coach (just one that should be shot on the spot).
Don't touch the Scholarships, again the students-athletes weren't molesting little boys so why are they being punished again?
Every Athlete should transfer if they can, the program ain't going to do shyt for the next couple of years due to no playoffs or bowl games.
Sorry, this is about sports, I asked for a sport section but was ignored.
/Thoughts?

Win count modification is dumb unless the case has ANYTHING to do with it.
Four year ban... care
Four year scholarship reduction... less potential football players... they are banned for four years... care
Transfer, obv. if they plan to play with that four year ban
They are banned for four years... so the probation doesn't matter... care
They are getting all these sanctions because they didn't deal with that ****** and they chose to ignore him.
Yeah, but all the people (coaches, presidents, higher ups) are all facing civil and criminal charges. All you have left is everyone....not involved in the cover up.
If he tried to cover up / hide the evidence to support his other coach, he should be penalized, not necessarily the college, but at the end of the day, it probably is justified.

The school is being held responsible for the actions of those who run it. They did the wrong thing, so they pay for it. They run a school, the school pays for it. You can't really argue against it...

Why the fuck would every Student/Teacher there know about it? Only a few people were trying to cover it up so now they are punishing the students for no reason.
I agree with the charges on both Joe Paterno etc but you can't punish the whole place.

Meh, i guess.
Those individualy are being punished.
If Arun murders someone, does the rest of the MPGH staff get punished for his crime. Even after they put Arun in prison for life?
