Message: [QUOTE="augustaTC, post: 2118860, member: 7216"] My brother went to Penn State, so I'm hardly unbiased. I think the legal system has finally completed its due process and, as usual, some will argue that penalties weren't enough (or too much), but it is what it is. The University has paid enormous financial penalties. Enough? Who can say, but certainly unprecedented. My biggest gripe has been that the NCAA President (who's left a trail of let's just say questionable decisions as he bounced from university to university, including UConn) grossly overreached his and the NCAA's authority in what to me at least seemed a bid at personal self-promotion and unwarranted piling on. And those actions almost, but not quite buried the football program, when virtually no-one who had even a tangential relationship to the Sandusky tragedy was active - different coaches and totally blameless athletes who had nothing to do with anything that had happened many, many years before they entered the university. You never want to forget the victims or the circumstances that allowed the atrocities to happen. But the individuals have been held accountable in courts of law and a very fine university has a stain on its reputation and image that will probably remain for generations. [/QUOTE]
