What would be justice? Penn State Question?

How does the punishment impose taxes on the citizens of Pennsylvania? The money is coming from the football program. The only thing I don't like is that the $60mil fine goes to the NCAA. Instead it should go to charity groups that work to prevent sexual abuse like this and work with victims.

My understanding is that the current players will keep their scholarships, however, the number of scholarships that Penn State will offer in the future will be reduced.

As for Paterno, his statements prior to his death already revealed that he was aware of Sandusky's actions for some time, yet took no real action. Worse still, the memos that were discovered later explicitly informed the recipients, which included Paterno, that they were to keep this quiet. During this time, Paterno could and should have spoken out, but didn't. So yes, he was partially responsible.

Whether or not you agree with the punishment leveled against him, consider the following:

1: Do you think it would be fair for Penn State to profit from a staff involved with such criminal activities over the past 2 decades?

2: Honestly, Paterno is getting off easy. If he were still alive, it's quite possible he might be facing criminal and civil charges.

The ancient culture believed that when we die, the good in your heart was weighed against the bad deeds you had done during your life. If the good outweighed the bad, you went on to paradise, otherwise you went to hell. Considering all the good things Paterno did during his life, it's terrible to think that this single issue possibly outweighs a lifetime of good works.

Personally I think Penn State got a slap on the wrist. I would have disbanded the program entirely for a number of years, make the school pay back all revenues earned from football and its related licensing, broadcasting and other contracts during that time, and decree that even the team will not exist during this time. The players will still play...but not as Penn State players.

I trust footballfanatic. the entire administration would desire to flow. It become so user-friendly as calling 911 or knocking Sandusky the fuc out in mcqueary's case. all of them knew he become a monster and did no longer something to end him. What might all and sundry else have accomplished in the comparable difficulty??? greater! it could have been ordinary to make beneficial it by no ability surpassed off lower back yet they have been greater annoying some scandal. unwell fukking human beings. all of them.

Have to agree with all of the above.I reserve my sympathy entirely for the victims of this establishments staff.I have none for Paterno who sacrificed the safety of young children to save his own reputation,by his own admission.I think they got it about right.
