Can someone explain the Penn State Football thingy
I don't follow football other than to know how annoying my school will be that day. Normally on home games I head to Chicago to avoid the retardedness that goes on. I stayed because I thought Penn State got the "Death Penalty" of sports meaning they can't play football. But come Friday I see my local buffetts flooded with Penn State car flags. My school's football team got their asses stomped so all the bars were going nuts with pissed off people who's lives revolve around wether their team wins or loses. Or Penn State fans screaming "We won!" despite they weigh 150lbs or 400lbs with no muscle development (I'm assuming they didn't play in the game).
Anyways why is Penn State able to play football and what punishment did they get in layman's term? I know a $60millino dollar fine but what is this death penalty thing? |
They didnt get the "Death Penalty" in terms of not allowing them to cease football games all together...There hurt more in the sense that they have a 4 year Bowl ban coming down from the NCAA as well as the Big 10 Conference. And they lost recruiting ability with the scandal as well as the fact that many players transferred to different schools without penalty.
See Wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_p...otball.2C_2012 So really it's like there just playing football, To play football. Right now for them its all about pride. |
They also lost their record for every win for a pretty long period of time

Part of why football profits are spent elsewhere is due to regulations. One example is the Federal law Title IX. Part of what it does is require some kind of balance between men's and women's sports programs. Women's college sports tend to lose money. |

Erase 11 years of stats? While I agree that Sandusky should be shot at dawn for his perverse activities, the current sanctions do nothing for past errors and only punish current students. The NCCA officials are in the same low life scum class as Sandusky with their actions of punishing innocent students. |

Didn't some of the administrators in addition to paterno actively hide the fact that he had been accused of missing kids for years? I thought that was the reason they lost so much.
