Heath Evans: Penn State Needs To Be Shut Down

[fitty76]

That's easier said than done. You have A LOT of businesses that rely on those football games. Especially in State College, PA. Shutting down the football program is ONLY going to hurt those businesses. The coach is gone, the AD is gone, the President is gone. What's shutting down the football program going to accomplish? Besides punishing people who had nothing to do with this scandal.

It's funny that a lot of you posters still thinks the NCAA has power. They don't have the balls to shut down a program like Penn St. The NCAA won't even be running college football in 5 years.

I would like them to find a way to strip Paterno of a few wins. he does not deserve the record. Still wondering why this did not come out until after he got it.

Sounds like the same mindset that allowed kiddie rape to go on for 10 years

That makes no sense at all.

But there are NCAA rules that prohibit football players receiving those things. As far as I can tell, there aren't any NCAA rules that require coaches/ad's etc... to report criminal activity to the police. I am sure the NCAA would love to hammer Penn State for this, but I don't think the NCAA is able to just arbitrarily punish Penn State because they want to. There has to be an actual NCAA rule that was broken.

Besides, by the time the Lawsuits are over, Penn State might not be able to afford to field a football team.

so you're saying since there's no rule against buttfuging a minor, ncaa shouldn't have jurisdiction.

Got it.

Why doesn't it? They didn't want any negative consequences to befall their program which is why they kept this quiet.

Same mindset.

How can you take away wins in this case?

because the money it brings to the community with beer stores, book stores, parking, hotel, blah blah blah is kinda sorta important.

don't punish those businesses for this poo. it's no where near the same mindset...

Okay, what does shutting down the football program going to accomplish? Did cheating and law breaking in college football stop when they shut down SMU?

Wait so there are other colleges programs that are secretly hiding kiddie rape factories within it's walls?????

I could see your point it this whole child rape scenario was going on at every campus. It doesn't ...that's why this needs to happen.

But I guess their program is worth 20 child rapes. Glad you can put a price on it.

[Claws]

damn.

he got us there.

NCAA doesn't have the balls to do it anyway.

[Panthro]

So they should if they had the balls...is that what you are saying?
