Sound off: What should be Penn State's fate?



Sickening. Disgusting. Stomach churning.

The Freeh report on Penn State was released today and revealed a concerted effort not to reveal but to enable child molestation in the Penn State football program. The question now becomes: is getting free tattoos or enabling child rape a more dangerous threat to the NCAA and all it stands for? The NCAA, for it's part, has announced an investigation into Penn State's football program.

So what do you all think? What should be the Penn State football program's fate?

Sound off!

Total decimation. 1 year, at least, of no football. Decade long probation period.

Absolutely horrible. Let's not forget to respect and pray for the victims and their families. Anything that the NCAA does to Penn State will not be enough to help those families out. I hope the penalty is harsh and unforgiving.

They may want to think about removing Paterno's statue -- and then they deserve a NCAA death penalty in football. Get rid of the program for 5-10 years...

Well said. I do pray for any victim of child rape. I'm a pretty tough close to 40yr old man, but some of these details make me tear up. I cant imagine the torture and destruction these young men are going through today. That said, minimum 1 year suspension of football. 5 years football probation. And all incoming freshman have to do community service in Happy Valley for organizations that provide youth services. PSU will make a sizable donation to legitimate at risk youth programs also. I know it wont happen, but it should.

The people who helped cover it up are going to prison. As a head coach, you're responsible for your staff and players. The staff violated the law of the land, and was allowed to do so under the head coach, who himself violated the law of the land. If this came to light back in '98, one coach would have been gone. If it would've came to light in '01, two coaches would have been gone, including the head coach. You could venture to say that the football team benefited from '01 to '11 by having their head coach present to lead the team.

As for the football team and possible sanctions; let the young athletes transfer out without sitting a year, and shut down the program for a calender year.

Re: Sound off: What should be Penn State's fate?

I don't think the NCAA should do anything, it's not really within their boundaries to act on something like this. However, I do think that the people who conspired in these events who are not already dead; (Paterno), or going to prison, (Sandusky); should be brought to trial for their roles in these events, and that this should go all the way down the chain.

At the same time the victims and their families should begin filing civil suits against these persons involved, the Paterno family and PSU as a whole. Knowing how NCAA investigations are always controversial, clumsy and full of blunders; I just honestly believe they would be more of a hindrance than a help.

Luckily for the NCAA, all of the investigating has already been done. They just have to go interview the same people.
