SMU didn't begin to rise to this level. One of the NCAA's big pet peeves is 'lack of institutional control.' if this wasn't lack of control, I don't know what is.

In addition, by not revealing the abuse when it happened gave them years to ride on their exhalted claim of being a clean program. That alone gave them an advantage.

So they want to ride on with no penalties on the program when that the coaches of that program was the center of it. There are assistant coaches still there who were around. I don't believe they had no clue.

As far as punishing innocent players, the NCAA has done that for years. When they sanction programs with any penalties, they punish some not involved. Why is PSU exempt?

I think sanctions that hit their pockets are more important than the "death penalty" justiceischeap Jul 2012 #1
