IMO we're beyond penalties for MSU athletics [View all]

People are talking about whether or not MSU's athletics program should get the death penalty from the NCAA. I think we're beyond that.

The NCAA and MSU higher-ups knew Nassar was a creep and knew it for years.

Just a thought: When a liquor store repeatedly serves minors with the owner's knowledge, he loses his business license. MSU and NCAA let Nassar stick... Himself, in multiple children over the course of decades.

The questions we should really ask are:

1. Should MSU have accreditation as a university?
2. Should the NCAA have a business license?
