NCAA President Mark Emmert Talks Penn State, Freeh Report, 'Death Penalty' With Tavis Smiley (VIDEO)
What next at Penn State?
www.huffingtonpost.com Penn State Death Penalty (Croweblog)
The Penn State football program should be silenced for at least 14 years. It's as plain as the nose on Joe Paterno's face.

Some key things he said that indicate to me they will bring the hammer down............
"This is as systemic, a cultural problem as it is a football problem."
"We’ll have to figure out exactly what the right penalties are," Emmert told Smiley. "I don’t know that past precedent makes particularly good sense in this case because it’s really an unprecedented problem."
Again the key is he thinks this IS A FOOTBALL Problem and its an UNPRECEDENTED PROBLEM!!!!! With wording like that it doesnt sound like a slap on the wrist is in order.
HE also said the NCAA is at a time where they have the courage to DO THE RIGHT THING.
I say 2 years MIN..........5 years would be appropriate.

The VIP thread was meant to be an off-shoot of the Dorian Johnson recruit thread. Stuff related to the scandal, but to be kept in house, or away from the eyes of rivals.
The other is just a continuation of the previously pinned thread. Just an overall ongoing discussion of the scandal.
In taking pappy's suggestion to try to organize things a little, I notice one of the most sizable chunks of scandal topics was about NCAA sanctions and the death penalty, so I also created this subtopic thread to see how having some subtopics would work. Perhaps we won't need it. But in any case, I am at least using it to track external articles related to the topic. If nothing else you can find plenty of articles to back up any argument for the NCAA to swing a hammer. (and hey, its the only place on the web that I know of collecting them together)
I was considering other subtopic threads related to discussions of Penn State cult culture or a Paterno-specific one. I'm not sure if we need that many subtopic threads though. It's just to try it out, but I also don't want to swell the number of pinned threads too much.

The death penalty for Penn State
A coach molested children on campus, aided by a head coach's evident indifference, and top officials hid the crimes. If that's not lack of institutional control, what is?

Its amazing how the entire country sees the evil that was allowed to run through PSU. I was driving through Charlotte today and the afternoon talk show was just killing PSU and Paterno. Both said the death penalty was the only option, they just argued over when it should start...this fall or next.

It is impossible to cancel the season this year.
And that is actually the worse case scenario for PSU because they are just going to get hammered every game they're in by protesters or opposing fans and the media...it will be a constant reminder.
And then after the fervor dies down a little, if they death penalty gets wielded, they won't be on tv anyway.
If they were smart they would've suspended football operations after the Nebraska game, if not before, and concentrated on an outside national search for a new president...not a football coach. But we know where their priorities are.
