NCAA Reconsidering Penn State Sanctions?

To hell with him.

Pretty sure he's already there.

There's nothing to discuss. JoePa's wins may be reinstated but not his character, reputation and legacy. All he accomplished as head coach of Penn State has been obliterated by his inexcusable neglectful silence and inaction that exposed innocent children to a sick bastard pedophile. Thus ends the life and career of Joe Paterno. To hell with him.

We don't agree on much if anything, but you are spot on here sir.

It seems the root of the problem is that the NCAA had no authority to impose the penalties on PS. I suspect the Family of JoPa will win it's Law Suit or accept a settlement from the idiots at the NCAA. The 60 million dollar penalty will also probably be adjusted down or dropped completely.

In my opinion, the NCAA should have waited until after the Criminal Proceedings to do anything, but they caved in to the Public outcry to blame everyone associated with PS Athletics.

I hate Penn State and never liked JoPa but there was and is a rush to judgement in this case and that's why the NCAA's case is falling apart.

IMHO

PSU should have to install, outside stadium entrance a bronze statue of Sandusky with his hands "fatherly" on the top
of left & right kids' heads. Allow them to take it down in 5-10 years. Just make sure it's where the visiting Moms of recruits
can notice it.

NCAA punishment spotlight in media headlines is overshadowing reports, reminders of those being prosecuted for the Pennsylvania state crime breaking the proper & legal actions of not reporting by straightway
state hotline phone call (even the suspicion) of child improprieties directly to the experts trained in ferreting out
pedophiles via long list interview questions by which pedophile thinking trip themselves up.

My point = this horrid event-scandal would serve as a public service announcement reminding all mandated first
reporters to never hesitate to phone the hotline even at suspicions. Heck, they give you the choice of giving your
name or just remaining anonymous. They just want their detectors to interview the suspect to compile possibilities
of pedophilia. Authorities could have got kids names from Sandusky's organization and, I guarantee their interview
of kids would have turned up pedophilia years earlier.

Make going after the real crimes/criminals to stop future non-reporting mistakes like this, make media screaming
headlines = not treat the football aspect as the important event.

Regardless of what condition the NCAA 'punishment' ends up, this is in fact the legacy I see left for Joe Pa. No number of wins, or money donated to the school in his name (and he gave A LOT over the years), will ever lessen that fact. Everytime someone brings up the name Joe Pa it will be forever connected to harboring Jerry Sandusky.

You're absolutely correct, but what does the governing body of collegiate athletics have to do with that? How did it offer them a competitive advantage? It's a criminal and civil matter as several others have already stated. It's really none of the NCAA's business.

MJM, this is a terrible argument. With this POV, WTF does Winston's raping of a coed have to do with collegiate athletics? It's a civil matter right?

Ever hear of Tilte IX? Apples and oranges...

It's not apples and oranges. Any group you ever join will likely have a morals or bringing disgrace on the organization clause. Morever we already explained why it was a competitive advantage and the obvious reason that the Rape Staters wanted to hide it, and shockingly, didn't just sweep it under the rug but took a blind eye and allowed it to continue. You rapist apologists make me sick.

The NCAA is a bunch of pvssies, as always.

The fact that your on the same side of the argument as Booby Bowden says it all.

Perhaps to some but being in agreement with Alvin does not say much about the argument. I don't see him harboring Sandusky, but rather having admitted that he should have done more that just pass it on.

I remember all the ex-players who indicated that he had a positive influence on them as well.

I'm not defending the NCAA or Pedophile State. I just don't believe it was within their jurisdiction to stick their noses in it like they did. I also think it's comical that the NCAA has to backtrack because the head of that disfunctional organization lied during the hurried process and they were afraid of losing a lawsuit. They can both rot in hell for all I care.

His wins should be reinstated. His good name will not be. Old Joe was not the only one to blame at Penn State but he could have done alot more alot sooner.
