Penn State received it's punishment and it's a doozy.

I totally agree with the monetary portion of the ban but completely disagree with the other conditions. The individuals who were involved have been or will be dealt with. They will be punished and the University will be paying a hefty fine for their involvement but to remove the games won, take away scholarships and bowl games is not punishing the wrong doers, it is punishing those not involved. The players have done nothing wrong and should not be involved with this decision and that's who is getting hurt by the decisions. This is a legal and criminal matter and not an NCAA concern. They have overstepped their authority and in my opinion have acted illegally and this should be challenged but as most sports people know the NCAA is a dictatorship and over reacts on many issues.

Super analysis of the situation, Willy.  One can only hope that cooler heads at the NCAA will relent their draconian punishments on the many present and past athletes of Penn State who had nothing to do with the cover up of a coach's criminal perversions.  If they don't, then the NCAA has created a new class of victims by their ruling, effectively cornholing all those Penn State athletes and their accomplishments since 1998, solely because of the actions/inactions of a handful of non-athlete coaches and athletic directors.

"cornholing" just might be the perfect word to describe the NCAA's ruling and perfectly describes the University's situation. I hope Penn State doesn't follow Nebraska's namesake "cornhuskers" and rename themselves the "cornholers".

LOL, very good; I can see that comparison coming up to these newest members of the Big Ten conference.

Other comparisons might come with the:
