In reply to the discussion: Will the NCAA do the right thing and slap the Death Penalty on Penn State football? [View all]Tuesday Afternoon
(56,912 posts)1. I got laughed off DU2 for suggesting it. So, NO don't hold your breath --
all I wanted them to do was bow out for ONE WEEKEND in solidarity and out of respect for the victims. Somehow this was twisted to mean that -I- was victimizing the Sports Program.
whatever.

Don't see how punishing uninvolved people via some kind of "Death Penalty" is doing the right thing.

The NCAA will never use the death penalty again on a Divison 1 football program
