Andy Asked:

Do you feel that the way the NCAA punished Penn State for their cover-up of child sexual abuse is the right punishment?


http://blogs.wsj.com/dispatch/2012/07/23/penn-state-alumni-and-others-react-to-ncaa-penalties/?mod=e2tw

As you can see in this article, NCAA vacated all Penn State wins from 1998-2011, reduce scholarships, and fined them 60 million dollars and banned from games. I am concerned that some of the punishments are unfair; what I mean is that it seems like students might be punished for something they didn't even do. DO you feel the punishment is right, too harsh, or not harsh enough?

Far too harsh. It DOES punish students who did nothing. I've felt the NCAA was outmoded quite a few years ago. They need to take it apart and build a new organization that exists in the reality of the modern world.

If a little knowledge is a dangerous thing, then that makes me a burning truck filled with TNT hurtling through a rocket fuel depot.

I believe the penalty not harsh enough.  The university should be totally barred from all sporting events and every last person involved in the cover up should be prosecuted, kicked off campus and never allowed back in any learning institution in the future.  As far as it not being fair to the other students, well boo-hoo; it is not going to ruin their lives to do without football games for a few very short years.
