Pennsylvania Governor fighting the NCAA Penn State Sanctions  (1 vote)
According to the article below Pennsylvania Governor is now suing the NCAA over the sanctions they placed on Penn State regarding the Jerry Sandusky case. It appears that Pennsylvania's Governor is more concerned about the Penn State football program than he cares about the child victims of Jerry Sandusky. The Governor and Penn State should accept the the NCAA sanctions, move on, and focus their time and energy on helping to repair the lives of all of Jerry Sandusky's victims. Penn State could have received tougher NCAA sanctions like the "Death Penalty". According to reports innocent children were molested by Jerry Sandusky for YEARS and nothing was done to stop it. 
Pennsylvania Governor (Article) "Winning is not a sometime thing: it's an all the time thing. You don't win once in a while; you don't do the right thing once in a while; you do them right all the time. Winning is a habit. Unfortunately, so is losing." - Vince Lombardi (NFL Hall of Fame Coach)

Maybe I am in the extreme minority, but I am completely alright with the Governor trying to defend his state's flagship public university against unfair sanctions. The aforementioned sanctions do nothing but punish innocent people, as all involved in the scandal and cover-up are no longer affiliated with Penn State University.

It was a house of horrors for countless numbers of innocent little children and those insensitve pricks can only think of their precious football instead of having some humility over their deeds. I hope that PSU loses every game they ever play and maybe one day the football program and school will be shut down. I HATE PENN STATE and EVERYTHING THAT IT STANDS FOR!

I would think that since the governor is a member of PSU BOT that he just opened up the possibility of additional penalties for PSU.....maybe now they will get the death penalty.

At least some of you have ablilites to read and know the real truth of whats going on instead of piling on with zero clue of what is and what isn't true. For that I appreciate it. That's the trouble with this country and the world. You read something or see a TMZ spin and run with it as Gospel. I've got alot of respect for SC and friends down your way, just remember if it ever happens to your University, you'd want rational treatment as well. Sick and corrupt scumbags have and will be brought to justice but it could happen anywhere. I hope this investigation with Discovery and legal Due Process will convict others and exonerate 99.9% of a great University. Just like SC. |

@NittanyLionFootballFreak..While I can appreciate your standing and your love for your school I can't excuse what happened up there. You say that the sanctions hurt many people that had nothing to do with the scandal but.... the same could be said for any program that gets slammed by the NCAA. SMU got the death penalty for things not nearly as bad as Penn State did. Surely a lot of people involved with SMU had nothing to do with the violations(fans, players, boosters, employees) but they all suffered. It's just the way it is sometimes. Maybe next time (if there is a next time)someone will step up and do the right thing knowing how severe the consequences can be.
Thanks for everything you've accomplished here Marcus....Good luck in the NFL!! |

Many say the death penalty would have been better than what they got.
I do disagree when you compair what SMU did verses Jerry Sandusky while at Penn State. SMU violated NCAA football rules.......Jerry broke the law. There were also many Penn State leaders that covered things up which also is a legal issue. However, giving potential prospects cars, cash, and favors to get them at your school is MUCH different! SMU got the death penalty for those violations. I'm still not sure why Penn State (The university) received what they got. Those individuals involved should receive MORE than what they will eventually get, but I feel their decisions violated the laws of the land, not NCAA football rules.
My opinion only!

I agree. No one is saying that the guilty don't deserve to be punished. The question though, is whether or not the NCAA has the right to dole out that punishment. I tend to side with the "this isn't their jurisdiction" crowd.

And the fact that the head coach and the college BOT were aware of Sandusky's penchant for young boys but allowed him to bring his victims along on road trips is OK by you ? Are you saying that didn't involve the football program ? If it didn't involve the football program why did they fire Paterno ? Even tho they fired him only after their little secret became public knowledge.... |

The aforementioned sanctions do nothing but punish innocent people, as all involved in the scandal and cover-up are no longer affiliated with Penn State University. The fact is that this is a legal matter, and not a NCAA matter. The NCAA is an athletic organization with academic standards that must be met. Theoretically, the NCAA is not allowed to punish a program over something that is a legal issue not involving a school gaining a competitive advantage from something that would jeopardize a students athletic eligibility. There is nothing in the NCAA bylaws that PSU agreed to that states that the NCAA can punish PSU over these actions. It is an FBI and a legal issue, and one that the individuals responsible are being punished for. This has nothing to do with PSU gaining a competitive advantage. Therefore, the governor is legitimate in pursuing legal action against the NCAA for damages in violation with PSU's contract with the NCAA. Do I condone what happened at Penn State? No. Do I think the NCAA was right in punishing PSU how they did? No. What's that saying about 2 wrongs not making a right? |

Not that extreme...At least I hope not....the NCAA penalty mechanism frequently punishes those who had nothing to do with the infractions. With the exception of the "Show Cause" penalty against coaches NCAA penalties are typically born by the successors not by the guilty parties themselves.
