Per ESPN, the death penalty won't be applied.

2. I tend to agree

and I think that big time college football should be eliminated, but the PSU mess does not rise to the level of a death penalty. SMU was caught paying its players, sanctioned, and of course told to not do it anymore. They continued to do it. I think once you finally got this scandal revealed, the right steps have been taken. The biggest thing the NCAA should do immediately is to allow the current scholarship athletes to transfer without penalty. As they transfer PSU should not be allowed to bring other scholarship athletes in until some period of time.

For those that say there was no technical NCAA violation, I disagree. A coverup to protect the football program is a violation.
