The NCAA is the most hypocritical, self-serving, greedy, and sometimes even sinister organization in American sports.

For the record, I listened-in to the PSU BOT conference call vote on accepting the decree and most BOT members expressed a reluctance to accept it, but recognized the need to implement safeguards, care for the victims and move forward. All BOT members also expressed concern for BOT failures as well.

Regardless of news reports about issues such as challenges to NCAA authority, please note that there are serious people doing serious work outside the spotlight to mend PSU. Coach Bill is an excellent example of these people and represent the future of PSU.

Nonetheless, as with Sandusky’s victims, PSU will always carry this scar.

Oh yeah!!!

Look at OJ!!! Nothing happened to USC!!!

Shut up!!!

Whether the NC2A over stepped its boundaries isn’t the issue. The issue is that no authority figure, did anything to prevent this unspeakable tragedy.

You’re so objective bigbuckeye76!!!

If a victim can feel that PSU was punished too harshly than I am not a disgrace!!!

The NCAA has no right to sanction anyone when they set the majority of these guys to fail, overdrive them physically, and bankrupt these schools!!!

College football is too big of a money-maker for any university to stop it’s unethical practices. A decade of top-ten finishes far outweighs little scholarship reductions and bowl bans. Massive fines and “death penalties” are literally the only thing that can cause a major program to stop their cheating. The NCAA understands this, tries to get serious, and then everyone squeals like a stuck pig over it.

As far as this lawsuit goes, didn’t PSU select the fine instead of a three year death penalty? Is Corbett saying that PSU should get that instead of the 60 mil fine?

Of all the people that should have done more to prevent the evil doings of one Jerry Sandusky, Tom Corbett’s name sits at or very near the top of the list.

This dirtbag of a human being should be sharing a cell with Jerry Sandusky at this very moment.

What’s next? Ted Kaczynski suing the US Postal Service?

At the end of the day great cause, wrong person speaking on the situation.

Victim #4 supports antitrust suit.

“However, one of those victims, so-called Victim No. 4 who was abused by Sandusky for years on the Penn State campus, supports the lawsuit according to his attorney.

Moreover, the attorney, Benjamin D. Andreozzi of Harrisburg’s Andreozzi & Associates blasted the NCAA for trying to play the role of victim and never asking Sandusky’s actual victims their opinion in the case. Perhaps most egregious, it assumed that the victims would find Corbett’s lawsuit, but not the NCAA’s actions, as an “affront.” That allowed the NCAA to essentially use the real victims as a public relations tool without any knowledge of whether the assertion was accurate.
“Victim No. 4 was very disappointed when he learned of the NCAA sanctions several months ago,” Andreozzi told Yahoo! Sports Wednesday. “He was particularly upset the sanctions were so broad that they impacted people who had absolutely nothing to do with the abuse or the failure to properly report the abuse.”

It’s okay to get their input, not the public’s when they don’t know any of the victims.

“Penn State is not a party to the lawsuit and has not been involved in its preparation or filing, the university stated.

University officials said: “The University is committed to full compliance with the Consent Decree, the Athletics Integrity Agreement and the implementation of the Freeh report recommendations. We look forward to continuing to work with Sen. George Mitchell as the athletic integrity monitor for complete fulfillment of the Athletics Integrity Agreement. We recognize the important role that intercollegiate athletics provides for our student athletes and the wider University community. Penn State continues to move forward with an unwavering commitment to excellence and integrity in all aspects of our University and continues to be a world-class educational institution of which our students, faculty, staff and alumni can be justifiably proud.”

just sayin………

You can’t scapegoat someone when you’re sleazier than Penn St. itself!!!

Sandusky’s acts went on from 1998-2009. Meanwhile you and bowl directors have hoarded bowl game money for years when it was supposed to be for charity!!! Yahoo! Sports and HBO Sports unveiled this in 2010 and 2011.

To scapegoat someone to suck up to a knee jerk reacting public after their request for punishment was based on what USC went through (oh Reggie Bush getting stuff from another man) is immoral particularly when you have your own personal demons (and the bowl money is just one thing. NCAA Corruption can be found in a 1400 word article by Taylor Branch in “The Atlantic”)!!!

Also to the Pro-punishment public: you look at yourself in the mirror the next time you want punishment based on a false equivalency!!!

Other people committed personal misconduct and their schools went through nothing!!!

When you ask for stuff that Penn St. got you’re allowing the continuation of NCAA power abuse!!! They don’t care about building good people or morality!!! They care about profits and sucking up to people in knee jerk-reacting fashion like you!!!

How do I know? Go ask Cam Newton, Terrelle Pryor, UNC’s academically unqualified students, and their teammates and coaches!!!

They way they were not punished are microcosms of the disgust that everyone should see in the NCAA.
