Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

Given the timeline for PSU response to the four questions I don't see how you can label sanctions being announced now as anything less than "hurried". The most obvious reason for doing so is to allow players to transfer and schools to fill schedule holes.

None of the camps have started. I don't believe any school is in fall session as yet. These kids could easily move in the two weeks or so that are available.

IMO the quickest path to PSU returning to respect as an academic institution would be to jettison big time football completely. I had constructed a scenario where PSU had worked with the NCAA to come to just such a conclusion. The flaw is that I can't envision a decision making authority at PSU who is in a position or would be willing to make this decision. If the BOT were involved there would have been leaks and push back. It would be an incredibly ballsy move by Erickson.

They simply must hurry in this case if they are going to levy sanctions against Penn State. Just look at how many Penn Staters you read of begging for the the first games to arrive. Once football starts up so does the "healing process" (or the narrative of one at least) and the will to take action against the university starts to decrease. It's as if they are hoping they can just run out the clock on the public's anger. That can't be allowed to happen if it can be helped.

And if the NCAA oversteps its bounds in such a way that they end up going to court and getting demolished too, I'm OK with that as well.

Here is the thing Paterno family and all PSU FACTS types....be careful what you wish for.

The Freeh report had no subpoena power, it isn't testimony taken under oath and it's mostly circumstantial. Ok, but what happens the first time one of these families says "fuck your check" to PSU, goes to court and some lawyer looking to make a name is allowed to subpoena? Does get people on the stand under oath?

At this point the fact the Freeh report as it stands isn't enough to convict in criminal court is the last thing they have. There are 10-50 (???) guys running around out there who literally got fucked in the ass by Sandusky and have a pretty good idea PSU helped cover it up. So the bet, for the Paterno cult members, comes down to how strongly you feel none of the victims/families will push for their day in court and how strongly you feel nothing bad can come of it?

Everyone will have their own idea's as to the probabilities of those two events happening. I personally put the odds somewhat less than the chance of the Easter fucking bunny showing up on my door step with my winning lottery ticket and a date bricked Jessica Alba.

With a case like this, who outside of Ped State is going too say the NCAA overstepped their bounds, irregardless of the penalties they impose?

My prediction is that the "unprecedented punishments" are going to be a lot less than what many are anticipating. Without going into too much detail since this comes from a poster on a premium board, it looks like the NCAA is getting pressured by member institutions to not branch their enforcement powers into this area too much. There will be punishments, but I think those of you expecting to see the death penalty will be disappointed.

The Freeh Report was pretty damaging. Never has the NCAA got this much help in determining a punishment. And I think even after tomorrow morning they won't be done.
If the NCAA determines that ineligible players were used then those wins get tossed. Bowl games included.
USC could be the template for Ped State. That is pretty harsh.
But there might be a complete shutdown of football for a couple years to let the culture die down. That would be best for them.
Also, I have been thinking the DOE and Congress will want to get involved.
Tomorrow is just the start of punishments.

Re: CBS report on sanctions

I don't have a horse in the race, but this is one of the more ridiculous things I have witnessed in sport. A few individuals break the law (??) and BSPN is claiming there will be unprecendented sanctions? With no ncaa rules broken nor a single competitive advantage gained?

You would have been better off paying Cam Newton's father the $250,000... Or maybe Seastrunk's handler $20K out in Oregon.. Better yet, PSU could have shocked the world and made a March Madness tourney run by ponying up the $200,000 Anthony Davis' father was asking for.

Penn State would have been better off paying for football players than covering the tracks of a child molester for fourteen years? You don't say?

Dumbass, the entire point of unprecedented sanctions is that what happened at Penn State is far, far worse than the types of issues the NCAA normally encounters.

I wish that Penn State had simply paid for a couple players instead of this shit. The would would have been a much better place for it. Instead, the university, the coach and the cult were turning up their nose at people who did those things while at the same time engaging in something far more sinister.

I think most realize they won't suspend football but it's how much they cripple it

JFC, now we have PSUers citing the 5th amendment of the Constitution in defense of NCAA sanctions. :slappy:

I missed the clause in the Constitution or due process / 5th amendment where the rule of law does not apply to PSu and its staffers. Such as:

- the right to a fair and public trial;
- the right to be present at the trial;
- the right to an impartial jury;
- the right to be heard in ones defense

I must have missed the part where Curley, Spanier, McQueary, and the Paterno family were thrown in prison without a trial. :lol:

Well, ESPN interviewed people in front of the stadium when they took down the statue. The first person they interviewed was the 3rd Juror in the Sandusky case. Same case where they all deliberated and found the guy guilty of doing what he did.

Here's what she said...
