not surprising at all. i imagine fanposts are hard to moderate over there now.

[Pete]

You guys think the NCAA will hit them hard?

[michigancat]

do you guys think sandusky's connection to the second mile might have something to do with this?

[Cire]

I think the kids were part of the second mile, not sure how sandusky is connected.

There is increasing national pressure on the NCAA to impose the "death penalty"

http://espn.go.com/espn/story/_/id/8162972/joe-paterno-true-legacy

I hope Penn State loses civil suits until the walls of the accounting office cave in. I hope that Spanier, Schultz and Curley go to prison for perjury. I hope the NCAA gives Penn State the death penalty it most richly deserves. The worst scandal in college football history deserves the worst penalty the NCAA can give. They gave it to SMU for winning without regard for morals. They should give it to Penn State for the same thing. The only difference is, at Penn State they didn't pay for it with Corvettes. They paid for it with lives.

I wasn't in this camp, nor anywhere close to it. What happened at Penn State was an issue for the law, not bylaws I thought. If the school was going to get punished it would do so by judges and a jury of their peers and not the arbitrary justice system the NCAA leans on with the Committee on Infractions.

But then I read the 267-page Freeh Report that came out on Thursday morning, listened to Louis Freeh himself during his press conference and waited to hear what the Penn State Board of Trustees and the Paterno Family had to say.

And I kept coming to the conclusion that Penn State should be given the death penalty.

In light of the Louis Freeh investigation report that dropped like an anvil Thursday morning, the NCAA no longer has a choice but to aggressively pursue the so-called death penalty for Penn State football.

Since it has been determined that Penn State knew a lot more than it let on — including possible involvement by its late football coach in keeping silent about Sandusky’s actions — then the NCAA should prepare to hand down its death penalty to a Division I football program for only the second time in its history, after Southern Methodist University received it in 1987.

This one time the public should welcome the NCAA’s heavy hand.

Shuttering Beaver Stadium for two years would take Penn State football down a peg. It would also punish loads of hard-working athletes who have done nothing wrong, as well as all the fans. But that will be a far better than allowing a pedophile-sheltering athletic department that was bent on self-preservation to have itself preserved. If Penn State football carries on this fall, then the worldviews of Curley and Schultz and Spanier and Paterno will prevail. Though all four men lost their jobs, their mission to protect Penn State football at all costs will win out in the end.

"When you hear the 'death penalty' you think it can't happen but with all things you just don't know what will happen," senior defensive tackle Jordan Hill said during the Lions' annual charity event, Lift for Life. "When that time comes, if it comes, then we'll worry about that. Right now our eyes are looking forward to what's coming up."

Not usually a Steven A Smith fan, but I appreciated this.

Yes, very good.

[Pete]

Here's the thing, I don't think the NCAA will do anything at all on this. 

I think that they will be concerned about a vague precedent being set on how to deal with criminal events.

Personally, I think that unless we have another mass ass-raping of kids, the NCAA shouldn't be too concerned about that.

[SkinnyBenny]

I didn't think so either until the Freeh report came out, but now it seems like media types are really putting the heat on for the death penalty.

I'm sure it's been said repeatedly, but it's so disturbing to know that our fanbase has this same potential. I mean, thanks for not raping and/or ignoring raping of kids, Coach. 'preciate it.

Pretty much any fanbase is the same way.

[SkinnyBenny]

Nah. Ours would be just as bad as Penn State because we also have a revered old coach who can do no wrong and is above scrutiny in the eyes of most tucks. Ours would be just as bad. I don't see too many others doing that.

Or imagine what would happen at Nubb if something like this came out during the Osborne era.

The small towns of Nebraska would filter their best kids to Nubb to be molested.

Let's just hope the NCAA does the sensible thing here, which is nothing. Let the legal system handle legal matters. The NCAA should not be concerned with issues that give no competitive advantage.

trying to decide what does and does not give competitive advantage is not black and white.

On some levels, how lucky is LHC Bill Snyder that there was a regime change at K-State?   I am not saying there would have been a Sandusky situation, so the lurking respects can relax.

But there's absolutely no doubt that Snyder under Wefald-Krause welded just as much if not more power than Paterno had, under the current regime, not as much.

The NCAA is probably hoping like hell that Penn State steps up and does some self-imposed sanctions and acknowledgment of how mumped up this is, so they can roll with that.  PSU could come out and say that while these heinous sexual crimes by one individual are wholly unrelated to the football program, the incredibly poor handling of them are a result of football being the priority of the university for far too long, and as a result we're reducing scholarships by __, foregoing postseason, taking ourselves off TV for __ year(s), etc.

That'd probably appease everyone except the (legitimately and literally) butthurt victims, who will be suing the crap out of PSU.
