I think the penalty is kinda dumb in most respects.

$60 mil? handful of rich alums will more than make up for that.

Vacate all the wins? Um...so? The people hit the hardest, IMO, are the current football players who had nothing to do with nothing.

And the Board of trustees, as far as I know...are all still in place.

So what really was accomplished...other than smacking around the current Penn State football program?

Responses:

Current players can transfer. Other schools granted extra scholarship spots for them, even. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 24, 11:51 3
- Oh sure...there's that. My concern, for the current players though...they're still kinda screwed. - Jim Jul 24, 11:56 2
  - If they're good, there will be spots...if they're not; they can stop playing and retain free rides.... - Will Hunting Jul 24, 11:58
  - I am sure the NCAA will expedite the transfer process. I like that the current scholarships can just not play, and still get the ride, too. - The Dark Spawn Jul 24, 11:57
Showing Penn State that institutional control is a requirement - something I don't think the Board of Trustees *still* gets. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 24, 11:46 4
- yeah, they all need to go - znufrii Jul 24, 11:48 3
  - they really do, but I don't get an *all new* board, with no institutional knowledge, helps anything. -- nm - world's most beautiful creature Jul 24, 11:52 2
    - put them on a schedule so they're all rotated out over the next 2 years, rather than all at once. -- nm - znufrii Jul 24, 11:53 1
      - I think it's more than two years, but yeah, accelerate the schedule. -- nm - world's most beautiful creature Jul 24, 11:54
it's the Board and former officials who are not getting penalized that I have a problem with -- nm - Remlik Jul 24, 11:45 1
- Yep. What's the point of the penalty if a large group of the problem aren't punished at all? -- nm - Jim Jul 24, 11:46
