The actions covered up to better the organization. This wasn't the individuals getting in trouble outside of the org and it reflecting poorly on the org. It was the org(at that time). When an organization's president, director, and highest paid employee all take action to do what they believe is in the organizations best interest, the action belongs to the organization.

I didn't say they didn't deserve anything. I suspect there's more to the story, and there's legal reasons why the NCAA did what they did.
SO the end result is in fact: nothing of consequence happened to Penn State's football program. They got away with it. The program will be back to where it was (or better!) next year (if they have the proper coaching staff).

College kids: known supporters of kiddie rapists because they are bored and stuff.

so one of the biggest scandals in NCAA history, involving incident children, isn't something to be outraged about? ok dax.
so wait, every single person that had a hand in this isn't at Penn State anymore? lol
They should have gotten whatever death penalty SMU got. It wasn't just individuals that let it happen, it was the culture.
The actual law of the land provide a whole litany of options. The NCAA overstepped the mark and they clearly now realize that.

The NCAA overstepped the mark and they clearly now realize that.If the NCAA overstepped the reach of their rules to punish a program that thought it was a good idea to cover up child rape, I think that's an appropriate step. Why have any rules at all if you can't punish an institution for covering up child rape?
