Interesting take but probably a bit too far. And likely unpopular given the current climate.

You also think they should have their accreditation pulled. So you’re willing to punish students, academics, that had zero to do with athletics, who may have never sat foot inside an athletic venue, because of your rage over that low life? The entire student body should be punished? What a bizarre take on an already horrific situation.
