And if someone in the Kentucky band raped someone, then it would be ok if the NCAA suspended the basketball team, because that would be about the same relevant action.

Or maybe as the NCAA is an governing body supposedly formed for the safety and equality of the student athletes, legal matters should be left to those organizations responsible for such things.

wat? is the Kentucky band part of the AD? no

would anyone in the kentucky band go about covering this up for years and years to protect a meaningless reputation (which, actually, was tarnished only because of the coverup. Outing the perv immediately would have made Paterno a hero; not an accomplice)

jtdc--the Paterno homers are truly delusional in this.

he NCAA has rescinded Penn State's bowl ban and removed the scholarships penalty that it imposed in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky scandal in 2012.

The NCAA's sanctions on the university included a $60 million fine, the reduction of 40 scholarships over four years, a four-year postseason ban, a five-year probation and that all wins would be vacated from 1998 to 2011.

On Monday afternoon, two of those penalties were rescinded, according to Michelle Brutlag Hosick of NCAA.org





bwhahahha well that was short and sweet
 
from the sound of the way the court proceedings have been going, the NCAA (no surprise here) seems to be on the losing edge of most of the points of contention and are trying to throw out fodder to get as many of them stopped as possible. Looks like the state and allumni proceedings are still going through for now though.
 
Those sanctions were a blessing for PSU. Without them, we would still be suffering through Jay Paterno, Mike McQueary, and the rest of the terrible coaches on offense. Not to mention terrible recruiting.

Now we've got great recruits and coaches, and all it meant was 2 years without going to some shitty third rate bowl game and a few less scholarships.

Had this played out without the Sandusky scandal, they likely would have appointed someone Joe wanted to be the next head coach, and kept most of the existing coaching staff in place.
 
This just proves that the NCAA doesn't give two shits about students, just the money to feed its coffers.

I'm still on the side that believes that PSU Football should have gotten the death penalty.

This proves the opposite. The ones being hurt by scholarship reductions and bowl bans are the students.

The way to punish the university is to hit them in the wallet and hurt their reputation. Both of which are unaffected by reducing the scholarship and bowl ban sanctions.

They are still ineligible to keep any revenue from their bowl games until the original sanctions expire.

edit:

students = handful of "student athletes" annually.

meh.
 
The people involved in hiding what happened should have been fired and the NCAA should have left the program alone. But I don't know. Did any student athletes loose their scholarships which were their only way to afford a good school? If so, the NCAA should be destroyed.
 
Absolutely no way any of this could be fabricated I'm order to increase $$$$ payout knowing the named party can't respond.
 
There are a large quantity of concerning problems here.

the lawsuit, filed in 2013, seeks to determine whether penn state or its insurance policy is liable for paying victims who were abused by sandusky. At least 30 men were involved in a civil settlement with penn state, and the number of victims could be even higher.

"pma claims ... In 1976, a child allegedly reported to psu's head football coach joseph paterno, that he (the child) was sexually molested by sandusky," the judge writes in the order.

The insurance company also alleged that sandusky sexually abused children in the 1980s, according to the court filing.

• in 1987, a penn state assistant coach "is alleged to have witnessed inappropriate contact between sandusky and a child at a psu facility."
• in 1988, another penn state assistant coach "reportedly witnessed sexual contact between sandusky and a child."
• in 1988 again, "a child's report of his molestation by sandusky was allegedly referred to psu's athletic director."

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY!

"there is no evidence that reports of these incidents ever went further up the chain of command at psu," judge gary glazer wrote in the court filing.

It's unclear what evidence the insurance company had in making these claims. A number of depositions from the victims included as evidence in the case's docket are sealed. The footnotes in the judge's filing cite these depositions as evidence for the abuse allegations.

The judge also cautions that since the lawsuit "is obviously not a criminal matter, this court is not governed by the higher standards of proof required in criminal prosecutions."

The named party responded plenty when he was alive and he lied through his teeth. Why is it so hard to believe that he knew of, condoned and covered-up pedophilia for 30+ years when we already know that he knew of, condoned and covered-up pedophilia for 15+ years? That extra 15 years is a deal-breaker for you and the other Joe disciples? "Sure, sure, he allowed Sandusky to prey on kids for 15 years, but not 30. No siree, not old Joe, he drew the line at 20 years!!"

He was a truly noble, yet dirty, old man.

Are you aware that Joe Paterno is entirely irrelevant at this point? The only thing that is of concern right now is cold hard cash, and who has to pay it.

that's what makes JoePa still very relevant. The question is about what and when--now apparently how long he knew it.

This further exposes the university to even more cold, hard cash if he was culpable twice as long as previously indicated.
