I've been hearing people say for days that giving Penn State the death penalty would be hurting all the businesses that rely on the revenue that comes from football, the athletes that are playing at PSU, and the other sports that depend on the football revenue. That's why this happened in the first place, people being more concerned with the cash flow than the well being of innocent children. The Penn State "brain trust", was hell bent on protecting the program at the expense of the victim. They need to feel the financial gut punch that a 5 year ban is going to create. It should also prompt other universities that would protect "the program" above all else, to institute policies that would prevent this complete institutional neglect from happening again. I'm not sure if the NCAA has the fortitude to institute the death penalty in this case. They'll say the no one gained a competitive advantage as a result of these crimes. But you tell me who was more deserved of drastic sanctions SMU, USC, Ohio State or PENN STATE #deathpenaltyforpennstate.
