Todd, as usual, gives a cogent explanation. With the football program not committing the actions that he outlined, the NCAA does not have grounds to invoke the Death Penalty. However, Penn State can certainly choose to rebuild their toxic environment by imposing it upon themselves. I think they must. If they are to be taken seriously, they can not have business as usual, even if it is with an entirely new coaching staff and Administration. Sandusky was part of the football operations, McQueary was part of the football operations, Paterno was part of the football operations. McQueary and Paterno look to be guilty of obstruction of justice even though they reported Sandusky's actions up the chain of command. They could and should have done much more. I watched the Penn State game today, turned it off at Halftime because I was sickened by the God Bless Joe Paterno sign and the video of people kneeling at his home. It will be the last Penn State game I watch until they convince me that they are serious about making the systemic changes that are required to insure this does not happen again. I'm certain that does not cause anyone at Penn State much concern. I do wonder what is yet to come out on this sordid mess....
