39. You mean the same ADULTS who rioted when Joe Paterno was finally forced out?

These weren't "kids", they are adult university students.

There's a systemic rot in the entire Penn State culture right now that has permeated even the student body. What punishment do you think will be severe enough to get their attention and remind them of exactly how terrible this really was?

I'm pretty sure Penn State football players will get picked up elsewhere - they're the least of my concern really. Some other teams will snap them up asap.
