10. Corbett is sort of right, but for all of the wrong reasons

I agree that the sanctions were overly broad and penalized many people who were not at fault. I also agree that the NCAA apparently over-reached beyond their own rules. I agree that the NCAA's ability to kill college football at Penn State if the University didn't agree to all of their demands does raise anti-trust issues.

However, this is being done too late, and for all of the wrong political reasons. Part of his reasoning is to distract attention from Attorney General Kane's investigation of Corbett's lack of investigation of Sandusky.
