(Poll) How SHOULD Penn State be Penalized?
I'm not trying to take away from the discussion in the Sandusky thread but I did think this pair of polls would yield some curious results.
This is the thread for what they /SHOULD/ get if you were in charge of the NCAA. SI

Ok, I thought about it for a while and came down with this:

Honestly, I'm much more interested in punishing the actors than the program. Because of that, I only selected money damages and a long probation period.

Whoops- I accidentally selected >1 year death penalty instead of 1 year as I had said. Too many poll options. What moron started this poll, anyway?

No option for the removal of PSU from Division I?

Forced demotion to non-scholarship FCS is what I'd do with them and then affix a period of time before they'd ever be eligible to move up to FBS again. That'd kick them out of the B1G and just seems like the simplest way to do it.

Just make them forfeit ALL football related revenue - not just the profit, all of it - for 18 years

I think if you let the players transfer without penalty the rest will handle itself. I hate to think that the current players are going to pay for something they had zero control over.

I see this as binary. The NCAA should either expel them or do nothing. Some sort of half assed probation, scholarship loss, etc. punishes the wrong people and eliminates a potential healing source.
The NCAA should focus on enforcing its own rule book rather than grand standing in a criminal and civil liability matter. |

The culture in Penn St needs to be changed. I dont think its the current players that should be punished so they should be allowed to transfer but Penn St the University needs to pay for their actions or lack there of.

Every time I think the death penalty might be too harsh, I read the Penn State football message boards and that sets me straight. |

So since they're being docked $60M, what happens to PSU's other athletic programs that require that revenue to function? I'm no college athletics economy scholar, but I seem to recall reading/hearing somewhere that for the most part, college athletics are largely funded by the "profitable" sports (football and basketball). I know that there has to be SOME punishment to try to curb future instances of this, but it seems like no matter what they do, many people who had absolutely no fault whatsoever in this instance are getting completely screwed.

Unfortunately, this one is really tough to reconcile without going straight to the "life is not fair" clause. There's no way to adequately punish those responsible in a solely personal matter. They also had a large sphere of influence and the culture they created there had a huge role to play in how this happened.
Also, you have to create a deterrent for future programs and the only way to do that is going to be with punishments that harm those who are not involved, namely the other athletes and students at the institution. SI

They made it a point to say that the revenue couldn't be directed away from non-revenue sports in order to pay the fine. They also noted that money is fungible so who the hell really knows. It's a $12MM fine for 5 years on a program that netted about $40MM last year, so they'll be fine. And you also have the fact that the donors will be cutting this check fairly easily. Inevitably though, you will hear some stories from the PSU faithful about how this has punished all the innocents, whether it's factual or not. |
