Was not an isolated instance. Was a cultural problem organization wide.
Article on how fucked the Penn State football program is, to those idiots who think they got a slap on the wrist:

Reading that, i think they actually got a harsher punishment than SMU did when they got the death penalty.
If the NCCA wanted to hand out a punishment, then ban the people responsible.
Slap on the wrist. And isn't a loss of Scholarships going to hurt the students more?
Also, no NCAA rules were broken.
what good does removing wins do? If you want to strip credit from the head coach, that is fine...but why should the students suffer as well?
why/how are students suffering? The scholarships that are lost are for football players only.
seriously over stepping imo. They should not have removed the wins, that's absolute garbage and doesn't just shit on the program or the coaches, it shits on all the players that worked so fucking hard for those wins. NCAA proves again they care absolutely nothing for the people that actually play the sports and everything about their money, prestige and image.
I don't see how stripping wins in the history books hurts any student or player.
I think it was aimed at JoePa, and his legacy etc.

"Article 6.1 of the NCAA’s Constitution states that “[t]he control and responsibility for the conduct of intercollegiate athletics shall be exercised by the institution itself and by the conference(s).”"
More
"Article 10 of NCAA Division 1 manual states that “ndividuals employed by a member institution to administer, conduct or coach intercollegiate athletics . . . shall act with honesty and sportsmanship at all times.” Rule 10.1(d) indicates that the cover-up that occurred protecting Sandusky’s actions would also run afoul of the NCAA code of ethical conduct:
“Unethical conduct . . . . may include, but is not limited to . . . (d) knowingly furnishing or knowingly influencing others to furnish the NCAA or the individual’s institution false or misleading information concerning an individual’s involvement in or knowledge of matters relevant to a possible violation of an NCAA regulation.”
Except there is no NCAA regulation against having sex with non-student-athlete little boys.
Sandusky did not violate any NCAA rules, and Joe Paterno didn't violate any by not reporting Sandusky to the NCAA.
The NCAA is arbitrarily jumping on Sandusky and JoePa. If Sandusky's crime was driving 1MPH over the limit, and JoePa knew about it and didn't report it to the cops, would his wins still be vacated and Penn State hit with a $60 million fine?
The NCAA is just being a self-righteous prick.

You are kidding us right? If a schools president, athletic director, and football headcoach conspire to cover up child rape. That is about as textbook lack of institutional control as it gets. Of course the NCAA doesnt have a rule on child rape. I am sure they dont have a rule on a coach bombing a building neither.
After the success of the 1991 season, Hobert became implicated in a major NCAA scandal when it was revealed he had received a series of loans totaling $50,000 made by friends and family while Hobert himself had no assets and no specific payment schedule.[2] This would cost Hobert his college eligibility, and was a mitigating factor in the University receiving NCAA sanctions for lack of institutional control, in turn leading to head coach Don James resigning in protest.[2] Although several other Huskies players were implicated in improprieties, Hobert became the most well-known face of the sanctions, leading to him receiving death threats.[2]
