Sandusky is innocent, he said so

"It's not like they couldn't replace them in a heartbeat. "

The rumors that I have heard were that if they tried to kick them out it could get tied up in the courts for awhile. I don't know how true that would be because if that is how Penn State would handle it that would look even worse for their image. If the Big Ten was to decide to kick them out Penn State could start to clean up it's image by maning up and excepting it.

The other question is, if you kick them out does that end their football program? What conference would pick them up? Also would you allow players to transfer out without having to sit out a year? I would allow players to leave unpunished, but this is the NCAA they try to act tough all the time.

"Sandusky is innocent, he said so"

No, you miss heard him. He said I am going at taking away a child's innocences.

I'm sure the Garbage East would pick them back up.

Roddy White is just a mo..ron

I hope they get sued into extinction. This whole episode should be an example - and it won't be - of why you don't deify head coaches. Unbelievably, people in Happy Valley still think JoePa is being railroaded and they should still have a football team. What was te greatest trick the devil ever pulled?

People don't talk about him much, but McQueary should face some charges too. Yes he told Paterno, but he saw Sandusky raping a little boy, and he ran away. What a coward. He should have beaten Sandusky almost to his death.

And how much you want to bet that McQuery didn't get promoted over his coaching ability? Maybe Joe Paterno promoted him because he kept what he saw between the Penn State people? I can't see how that didn't play a role in his promotion. Good thing is McQuery will probably never coach at the colllege level again.

I just think from a players perspective, what decently rated recruit in the nation would want to go to this school? And have to deal with all these distractions and the possiblity of the football program being suspended. If this program isn't axed completly it will be bled to death anyway.

I don't know if a total death penalty is warranted, but a 30 year suspension should work just fine. Everyone involved with the scandal should be dead by then anyways.

You would think, but their 2013 class is already looking good... http://rivals.yahoo.com/footballrecruiting/football/recruiting/commitments/2013/pennst.-34;_ylt=AuzuBiebyIDp_cr24T9TmkNGPZB4

Probably helps now that their head coach actually goes on recruiting trips...

same thing

Oh I thought it meant permanent in some cases, but whatever. I can't remember this happening in any recent cases though.

true but a lot of the worst details are only starting to come out now, I'd give it some time.

You know that the death penalty doesn't remove your program forever? Kentucky basketball got the first death penalty in 1952 I believe...

Some of thoses recruits have actually stated that they wanted to go to Penn State because of this Scandal.

"true but a lot of the worst details are only starting to come out now"

Like what?

well the one example everyone looks to is with SMU, but that was only for a few years. If giving improper benefits to players is enough to get a program axed I would think a coach <raping childeren while using the athletic facilities should be enough.

But yeah if you gave a 30 year ban to the football program that would be the same as cutting the team.

Of all teams, the only one in college football to ever receive the death penalty was Southern Methodist University in 1988. Weird that a little Methodist school would be the one have had a scandal worthy to shut down the program rather than a powerhouse.
