So a pervert in the Penn State football program molests young boys, is convicted, and others with knowledge of his abuses are under indictment. That should be the end of that story.

 

But now comes the NCAA, an association of college sport programs which otherwise has no authority over Penn State or any other university, "ordering" Penn State to create a $60 million endowment for child sexual abuse programs, and vacating the past 14 years of victories by the school's football team.

 

In effect, Pennsylvania taxpayers are being punished to the tune of $60 million because a pervert ran amok in the locker rooms. And kids who played their hearts out on the Penn State football field for 14 years are being stripped of their victories and honors. The taxpayers of Pennsylvania are being punished, and 14 years of former football players are being punished, for something they had nothing to do with.

 

Does that make any sense to you?

 

Penn State should tell the NCAA to pound sand, refuse the "fine," abolish football, and focus on educating students.

yes.child molestation isn't like getting beat up in one occurrence it ruins lives and can lead to more of the same.There was a thorough investigation which showed many covered this up and knew about this and chose to let this happen including joe for years.They should be completely embarrassed and pay that 60 million plus to the victims whom lives they have ruined ..Just hope that never happens to your grandchildren.

I made my point and you made your's. All well and good.

 

Any claims against the school by victims should be handled through the legal process in civil suits, which I have no doubt will follow. It should be up to courts, not the NCAA, to determine those damages.

 

As to the reference to my grandchildren, you can go fuck yourself!!!

ah dunno...the people at the top of the Penn state ladder should be punished. In covering up child molestation to protect a cronie was reprehensible, and they are complicit. No action against what was done is condoning the act. This was not fraud, or theft...IT WAS CHILD MOLESTATION AND THEY IGNORED IT TO PROTECT THIS ASSHOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Paterno and the heads of the university should have acted swiftly at the mere hint of such an aggregious act, instead of being culpable in the cover up...despicable behavior on all their parts. They should be lucky that the university is still open. I do feel bad for the student body, but not the ones who defend Paterno. He fucked up....PERIOD!!!

the officials in charge should be the ones that pay for this not the shcool itself...taxpayers shouldnt have to pay for it period...i believe that harry is correct in saying that ncaa shouldnt have no bearing on this action they have placed on the shcool the football program and taxpayers had no bearing on what took place..it should be left up to the courts not the ncaa..

I'm a (or was?) a Penn State fan, and I'm very much still on the fence on this, but I am inclined to agree with you, Harry. I'm still thinking about it.

The punishment is justified. The Penn state football program knew of this and tried to keep it covered. If you nurture this type conduct, then what stops others from trying to cover up such terrible crimes. The 60 million dollar fine is equivalent to one years income from the football program, which will be used to help victims.. Is that such a terrible thing?

 

In serval years, this will be Forgotten by most but the families and victims who will never forget.

- The "football program" describes all individuals involved in any capacity with Penn State football. They did NOT know what was going on. A relative handful did, and they are under indictment. More indictments may come. The focus should be on those who break laws, not those who do not.

 

- It is irrelevant where the money for the fine comes from up front. But where it comes from eventually are state residents whose tax dollars pay for colleges and universities. (I know liberals find it difficult to understand that government doesn't create wealth and only takes it from those who do - that doesn't justify robbing taxpayers of tens of millions that could be put to better use.)

 

- As to the money being used to "help the victims," that's not all it's intended for under the NCAA's fine; irregardless, the NCAA is not a court of law and has no freakin business acting like one. The courts - juries - should determine compensation for Sandusky's victims, NOT the NCAA.

How can the money be Irrellivent at first and then rellivent later? As for where the funds come from, as far as I know, they haven't said where, so maybe we jumping the gun. I do agree, the taxpayers of state should not accountable for this.

 

As for the "football program".. I was only referring the individual's in charge. This situation seems very simular to what happen in New Orleans and the head hunting bounty on players. The league came down hard on the team & coaches..

 

As for funds for victims.. Those funds will be used to help victims of all molestation crimes. Help with education, councelling and whatever support is needed.. Not as a personal damages.

Pete, even if the $60 million comes from revenue generated by the Penn State football program, it's still $60 million off of the bottom line from a STATE FUNDED PUBLIC SCHOOL that they would have otherwise had - and therefore it comes out of taxpayer's pockets one way or the other.

 

As far as the "Football Program" is concerned - the one argument the NCAA made that has given me pause is the one they made regarding covering up the criminal activity of one of the coaches in order to protect the football program - i.e. the football program taking precedence over the safety of children and the overall integrity of the institution. However - that being said, we have a criminal and civil court system in this country specifically to deal with criminal activity; and the non-reporting of an alleged crime by the powers that be at Penn St. IS A CRIME. If the possibility of having your career ended and facing prison time isn't enough to dissuade those that covered these heinous crimes up, why would a penalty on the football program?

I only wish there could have been some way that the kids who play the game would not be punished for the misdeeds of their coach and administrators.

 

I guess we just call them collateral damage like when bombs are dropped on a city during war. We can use Dresden, Germany as an example.

 

As for Coach Joe and the administrators may they all rot in hell and suffer eternally.

The NCAA is a sanctioning body. Not a legal jurisdiction. There are too many hard working innocents that are being punished because of Sandusky's actions. Since when does a civilian organization claim the power to levy fines, especially on this scale. Penn State can, and will, move on from this unfortunate event. As far as the football program goes, it can fall by the wayside, temporarily or permanently. The board of directors need to decide what is important to Penn State & the college students of Pennsylvania.

As far as Im concerned. the sanctions were in excess, but never the less justified. The NCAA should have stressed to Penn State that they should set up a fund for the any victims of molestation or else. This should have been Penn lead in good faith rather than being forced.

One thing I have found very interesting is that the President accepted the NCAA's ruling with no discussion with the Board of Trustees.

 

The Board of Trustees has been kept in the dark as it was with the Sandusky affair. Penn State is already repeating what got them into in the first place, ignoring important administrative parts of the university and keeping them in the dark.

 

In a way they have already repeated the error of their ways.

 

Perhaps as severe as the penalties are they still have not learned. :no :no :no

sorry folks, but this is not just a "one off" type thing. The level of cover up and the length of time it occurred over smacks of 'CONSPIRACY" and for what...so a sick asshole could bugger young boys on the penn state premises while highly important people looked the other way so the "footballl program" could generate revenue for the school??????????? And knowing this was occurring, there should be no financial penalty because of what, the school placed priority on the law, morality, and safety of any individual on school grounds at any time? No, it's priority was money...pure and simple...greed. The school is state funded right? Well, how much money is generated by the football program? How much of that lines pockets at the top? Here in Alabama, we know for us...its a LOT!!!! i imagine Penn State not so different. So these worhtless motherfuckers who acted like child molestation was low enough on the list to keep garnering a payoff at the expense of the lives of these poor victims just sat in the booth, watching the games, looking at Sandusky on the sideleines, knowing what he had planned for the unfortunate young man he kept by his side......and counting money and smoking cigars.....and thinking to them,selcves " poor kid, glad its not one of mine.......BUT LOOK...WE SOLD OUT AGAIN...NOTHER ROUND OF BEERS BOYS?!.... Absolutely pathetic.

soorry boggy, in your last statement...in the end, knowing that...it wasnt a deterent, not even a close call..........and these men knew the law. Did it compel them to action? Did they uphold anything but greed in the face of it all???? Did they do anything?????? What, and lose that money in a scandal???? No way..................

Then again the NCAA is another self serving organization solely concerned about the mighty dollar and not the welfare or academics of the students.

 

While I condone what the NCAA has done to PSU but it does nothing to change my mind about the self serving motives of the NCAA.

 

The NCAA is nothing more than a big business whose primary focus is on money, nothing more, nothing less.

As much as we all want justice and recompense the facts are still the facts. The NCAA should keep their nose out of the civil law matters and deal soley with the sports and programs involved and let the civil courts do their jobs. I believe if I was the president of the university after much contemplating tell the NCAA to fuck themselves and quit football at least for the next 4 yrs. Yes the crimes committed were horrific and degrading and many may never recover completely from the deep wounds inflicted on them, but its not the NCAA's job to determine right or wrong or compensation for such legal atrocities. Harry you probably heard me give a loud AMEN! By the response of some it's clear some doesn't understand what the NCAA really does and should be sued for over stepping their boundaries in this matter. If by no one else by the state of Pennsylvania. I really don't think the DA has the balls to do this as they are a sports mob organization!
