If the rumors above are true, that's just like the death penalty and then getting the death penalty again

This could be just a drop in the bucket, if the feds go after PSU for the Clary Act. One would think, this would be something that is almost guaranteed will happen..

ummm yes. Football pays for damn near everything at most D1 schools. a year without it could very well kill some of the non major sports at penn state and shut down bussiness around penn state.
im not saying they shouldnt get it, but the NCAA saw how it killed more then just the football program at SMU and thats why most have said the NCAA would never use it again. doing the rumored things to penn state is the death penalty without calling it one.

Lane Kiffin needs to get as many of those kids to USC. scholarships don't count against the total amount allowed.

The death penalty as we've seen it in D1 has only spaned the course of a calendar year....two, max. IF some of the sanctions that BTB posted come true, it's going to be much worse than JUST getting the death penalty. Although highly unlikely, that's the reason I posted #9 from that rumored list.

I just don't see the justification for penalizing the football program, especially when everyone apart of the tragedy is dead and gone. Take millions and millions but don't punish kids that had zero to do with it.

You can say the same thing for just about every NCAA infraction. There were plenty of guys who played for USC that had nothing to do with what Reggie Bush was doing off the field. They (as a program) had to pay the price for Bush's wrongdoing. Paterno & Co. all fall under the NCAA umbrella. Whatever penalties are levied will be justified, IMO. Those clowns who covered these crimes up over 14+ years should have thought of the implications for turning their heads the other way. Is it fair to those that had nothing to do with it? No. But life isn't fair.

Because it was the football program that was harboring this subhuman, scumbag, pos Sandusky and gave him free reign to "do" whatever. He was spotted in the weight room a few days prior to when all this ish hit the fan. The NCAA should consider putting the Penn St. football program in their code of conduct because there isn't a clearer example when it comes to the definition of "lack of institutional control". They had a clear recruiting advantage by not coming clean the day Sandusky was exposed. Joe Pa was the puppet master and chose to turn the other cheek, so everyone followed suit. And how is everyone that had something to do with it dead when the former university president and AD are indicted on perjury. Anyone who sympathizes with Penn St at this point is a blind lemming.

A death penalty not only affects the school but it affects the conference. A TV ban would be a heavy message sent & the other 11 members of the Big Ten might not agree with that.
A good reason I think Penn State won't get it as bad as mentioned.

I'm a die hard Husker fan. I could care less about how their potential punishment affects NU. People are forgetting about the real victims in this tragedy.

And I agree which is why I felt Penn State should have handled this matter on their own.
Too many things get involved when the NCAA has to step in.

How fair would it be for all the previous schools that have been sanctioned for tattoos, free condos, etc. if the NCAA didn't get involved. They have to act on this.

Right, because up to this point they have certainly shown an ability to adequate handle matters of discipline internally.

Were those cases as egregious as this? I don't think so. Penn State BoT's have the power to shut their own program down.
This is way beyond a NCAA matter and given how inconsistent they can be PSU should be able to handle this on their own.
