Final Verdicts from the NCAA handed down in the wake of the conviction of Jerry Sanduskys' sexual abuse of young boys is all but sounding a Death Tone for Penn State football and many more of its athletics are an atrocity. The following are the sanctions levied against Penn State next to which I will submit a small piece of TRUTH and you decide. *note to remember Mike McQuery has given 4 different versions of what he saw/heard ranging from rape to horseplay*
60 Millions dollars to be paid to the NCAA... NOT to any charity that helps sexual abuse victims or the victims themselves. JUST SAYING (reportedly equivalent to a year of Penn States Football revenue)
4 year ban on blow appearances. ... This ONE might have made sense if the NCAA had actually done and investigation of its own and not just gone w/ the public and media spin on the Sandusky Verdict.
4 year reduction in scholarships from 85 to 65. This effectively Cripples the program and puts them on par to be man handled by just about Any Division 1 school and discouraging any but true blue and white bloods from attending.
Vacating of Wins over a 14 yr period. ... THIS ONE is not only and injustice but a straight forward Attack on a single man who was CLASS all the way. Did he push to protect his players like Any coach does, YES! Did he KNOW (were not talking about presumptions thought about or any other spin ppl want to put), did he have Factual Knowledge of what Sandusky was doing? So far there has been no evidence he had any prior knowledge and moreover when you take into account that McQuery phrased what he witnessed as "horseplay" inappropriate or not rational people Educated people will tend to say to their superiors hey check into this because i have cancer and kids to coach this is YOUR arena.
The moral of the story, the NCAA is doing one and only One thing and that's jumping on the JOE PA crucifixion band waggon. Why? Because its easy and mainstream media friendly to do so. 4 .. FOUR different versions of one event were related by the VERY person who said they witnessed it... FOUR Versions. But yet McQuery keeps his job for doing EXACTLY the SAME thing JoePa did? Ya long story very short is that this is NOTHING but spin and crucifixion of one who was the very embodiment Class.
To steel a movie phrase "All you've done today is weaken a nation"
