Citing Penn State‘s ”reckless and callous disregard for the children,” the NCAA has fined Penn State $60 million, vacated all of Coach Joe Paterno‘s wins from 1998-2011, and banned Penn State from the next four years of bowl games. While not going as far as invoking the “death penalty” for Penn State, the NCAA has now officially removed Paterno’s legacy as the all-time winning coach.
The Louis Freeh investigation into the Jerry Sandusky/Penn State child sex abuse case revealed Penn State actively attempted to cover up the rapes.

Yeah! The NCAA screws more innocent students.
Here's a crazy idea, why don't you blame the real villains here. If the university staff had done the right thing in the first place and sought to stop Sandusky, help his victims, and prevent him from creating more victims, the NCAA would have had no reason to step in.
I'm sorry that many "innocent students" are being penalized by not being allowed to participate in games that they can live without. But I'm far more sorry that several boys were sexually violated and that the powers that be actively sought to further their violation by covering it up.
I know where my priorities are. Where are yours?
