The NCAA governs schools as it pertains to athletics, and their rules are set up to keep schools from gaining unfair advantages, in athletics. This has nothing to do with that.


The NCAA has zero jurisdiction in this situation. You guys are confused.

Totally an option. There is a coverup from top to bottom in the administration. Complete and total lack of institutional control that resulted in the rape of underage boys.

I'd say it's a little worse than some free tatoos or a house for mom, and we saw how strongly USC and OSU got punished.

if you watched the special on smu, many agreed that it will never be done again. When they made that call, none of them had an idea on how bad that was going to affect the school. It took the Mustangs like 30 years to do anything good in football. If I'm not mistaken, it husrt the in tuition since many believed it was too hot to handle so they took their money elsewhere.

Especially when the admin says we're turning Sandusky in and the head football coach talks them out of it and allows the man access to athletic facilities?

What part of "institutional control" don't you get? This was


Jul 12, 2012, 12:55 PM

the head football coach, athletic director, and school president giving an assistant football coach access to children, athletic facilities, and athletic events, after they knew what was going on, then covering it up for 14 years. Then to make it even worse, which is mind boggling in itself, 11 years ago the admin was going to give Sandusky up and the head football coach talks them out of it. It doesn't get any worse than that, except maybe hearing Matt Millen and others still trying to give Paterno a pass.

Just because they use the term "institutional control" doesn't mean it carries the same weight as the NCAA. The NCAA can find a institution guilty of lack of institutional control in regards to another violation.

In this case there is no other violation. If they want to come after Penn. St. for ethical reasons they would have to have specific rules outlined by the NCAA that Penn St. broke. The NCAA is not the federal government and cannot enforce rules outlined by the Law.

Wrong! The NCAA can do anything it wants to any college AD


Jul 13, 2012, 3:18 AM

it wants for any reason it wants if it feels it falls under "lack of institutional control". It's a monopoly.

Just like the NBA, NFL, MLB, NHL, etc, can punish their teams for any reason they want. In fact, to show just how incorrect and flawed your logic is, about 90% of the things schools get put on probation for are things that are perfectly legal and have nothing to do with the law and are done by colleges in other endeavors.

If you have any talent other than athletics that a university deems valuable, a booster can give you a job, a place to live, pay you money, etc etc etc and it's legal and part of doing business. Do that with a football recruit, however, and you're in big trouble.

That is precisely why they use a term like "institutional control" because there is no way to write a rule to anticipate very possible scenario that could be acted upon by athletes, coaches, or administrators.

probation since by the time the NCAA finds folks guilty, the players involved and typically the coaching staff as well, are long gone. This is about punishing the program, athletic department, and school for allowing this. As well as sending a message. And it's naive to think fans, alumni, and students are not complicit because they are since most would have gone along with the cover up had they known about it because all they care about is their image, their football program, and winning.

Jul 12, 2012, 12:42 PM

Nowhere in the NCAA rulebook does something like this get mentioned. If it is not in the NCAA rulebook, then they have no business sticking their noses into it. Is it the NCAA or ACC's business about the Rebel flag on statehouse grounds? No just as the NCAA shouldn't have an impact here.

Second point is that the author tries to make it sound like football was put above the kids, but that isn't the case. If Sandusky was still a coach while Paterno and others new about the incidents, then I could agree, but most of the "cover up"/inaction occurred while he was not coach. This says to me that merely saving face, not winning football games, was more important than the kids.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: Re: death penalty proposal for penn st. football


Jul 12, 2012, 12:42 PM

Disagree. While the acts of Sandusky, JoPa, and Penn St. Leaders is by far one the most deplorable act ever conducted in the world of college football, what occurred was not done to gain an advantage in football itself. Suspensions, fines, and program "death penalties" should be reserved for offenses that occur with that aim in mind. These acts fall outside the NCAA's athletic natured jurisdiction. These criminals should be persued, tried, and convicted in the court of law. Giving Penn St. the "death penalty" only serves to punish athletes and students who neither knew or condoned these atrocities. I understand the need to seek justice but don't let the heat of the moment cause you to punish the innocent.

you're smarter than that.

While the actions and inactions of Sandusky, Paterno, and others at Penn State were dispicable, the NCAA's definition of "institutional control" pertains to athletes or programs gaining an unfair competitive advantage. The things that took place at Penn State fall well outside of the NCAA's athletic jurisdiction.

Imposing the death penalty only punishes coaches, athletes, students and fans who did not know anything about what was taking place and in all likelihood would certainly not have condoned it.

I'm not sure how they would fashion the potential penalties, however, aside from the so-called death penalty, and I don't that will or should be an option.

Jul 13, 2012, 4:21 AM

First of all the NCAA tries to regulate colleges and universities by imposing and enforcing a set of rules. You cant inforce a rule if there is no rule. I dont know but I'd be suprised if there was a Section 118 paragraph 72: "No coaches showering with young boys shall be permitted...." I do know that a coach can pee on main street in greenville and not anything to worry about as far as the NCAA.

Lack of institutional control? I dont know if thats going to stick either. Not to take this lightly but i dont think they did anything to give themselves an unfair advantage on the field, or in the classroom. While what happened there is discusting, I dont know if the NCAA has the authority to enforce punishment for the gross felony criminal charges...I mean these are charges that will be worked out in court rooms, with jurys, and rightfully so.

The NCAA doesnt punish you for breaking federal laws, they punish you for breaking NCAA rules. What kind of crazy precedent would this set? NCAA isnt punishing campuses with high rape or domestic abuse statistics are they?

Penn State football is forever stained with this...nothing could make this any worse for Penn State.
