Janitor that witnessed the rape in the shower stated that the incident was the most horrific thing he had ever seen in his life. He is a KOREAN WAR veteran.

I wish! But unfortunately preliminary reports are that the findings in the Freeh report leave little opening for the NCAA to step in.

The NCAA steps in when it suits them. Regardless, Penn St needs to be shut down. All of Paterno's wins should be vacated as he covered up the rapes to keep his program from getting a black eye.

Death Penalty

Unfortunately, I dont think it will happen. If you watched the ESPN doc on SMU, one of the things they repeatedly say is that they'll never dish out the death penalty again since the unwanted consequence was a complete devastation of a program. I'm sure that they never thought this type of cover up of an activity of this nature would happen either.

I cant stand PSU and would love to see it happen to them but just dont see all the other schools aka the NCAA coming down on them so hard they are effectively removed from the athletic landscape.

I don't think this is under the aa's purview... They aren't an arm of the justice department. This is a criminal matter in which the perps happen to work for an athletic department. Lock up the guilty parties and be done with it

It falls under the NCAA Bylaws for Code of Ethics

As coaches and administrators, they are an arm of the NCAA. They represent them in every aspect of their jobs.

The NCAA has every right to conduct an investigation on criminal misconduct of a member institution, its AD, and its coaches.

A criminal matter in which the perps made every calculated move in order to protect the football program. I say prosecute by all means, and administer the death penalty through the NCAA.
And strip all wins possible, remove the statue of the devil himself, Mr. Conspiring Paterno.

since the death penalty is just that to a program, religate them to Div II for a few years and ban them from TV. They still play ball but just not at the quality they're used to plus they are limited on schollys. Just an idea

Very interesting. I tried to stay away from the Penn State discussion because it grossed me out but read bout the Freeh report and wow. I think society will deliver a death penalty if the NCAA doesn't. There is no way you could be proud to be a Penn State fan after all of this and the coverup. It's far worse than SMU or anything else ever done.

I am quite certain that I have never agreed with David Climer @ The Tennessean.

Except for this lone exception:

I'd be ok with penn st shutting down their own program for a year were they to do so.

The kids/players need to be given their scholarships for the off year so they can stay in school for the period, otherwise they become a side casualty.

They would also though have to pay back everyone on their schedule to cancel their games (probably plus some to make up for scheduling someone else last second) as well as pay something back to the contracted networks to do so.

Not letting them play for a year still makes them a casualty. Release them all as they desire without penalty if the program is killed.

I'll get skewered it appears, but the death penalty does nothing to correct what happened. Purge the leaders and anyone else that was found culpable as necessary and start over immediately.

I'm with the death penalty, one year for each child that had his dignity ripped from them.

Let the current players transfer.

Harsh? Walk in the shoes of one of those kids. Damn penn state football.

Wasnt it also the university that hired Freeh to look into the matter of what all had happened (& then report)?


Edit: espn answered my post for me. Yes this was done by penn State's board of trustees; they hired him to research the matter within the university.

I'll add that I only suggest the Death Penalty from an emotional standpoint. Legally, the Athletic Dept, namely the Football program, will most likely not be punished by the NCAA. That may be hard to fathom for some, but legally speaking, I'm most certain thats the right call.

The death penatly would hurt the university's pockets for sure, but the fans, players and other coaches who had nothing to do with it would end paying the price for the sins of the former regime. That is what sucks about that kind of punishment. That is why no one should ever be allowed to have that much power and control. It usually ends up ending badly.
