The NCAA has no jurisdiction in these matters. How can the NCAA punish PSU with the Repeat Violator rule when PSU has never been found in violation of breaking an NCAA rule?
Stopping the football team from playing in no way fits the punishment for what happened, if anything it cheapens it.
Now, if the BOT suspended football ops at PSU, then so be it.
If the NCAA wishes to kick the school out entirely, they can as can the Big 10.

I agreed with you until I heard a reporter on the radio today.
He said you know why PSU covered up the scandal? Because if it got out that it would affect recruiting. So in a way, the coverup was part of an unfair advantage. Had the news of the rapist come out their recruiting and reputation would have suffered.
I say let the NCAA frick them up. PSU should self ban for a year regardless.

The NCAA is a totally and completely worthless organization. It has a rule book that is 4 inches thick, but doesn't have a rule that a recruit's father can't shop his son to the highest bidder.
The NCAA hands down major sanctions for a kid hocking his championship ring at a tatoo palor and getting cash for it, but can't step in when a football coach, AD, and President cover up and continue to allow a child rapist to use their football facilities to execute his crimes? Yes, that is the NCAA for you.
Absolutely!!! The Penn State football program should be shut down for a minimum of 2 years. The Death Penalty should be demanded by all decent, civilized college football fans with any morals at all to be hammered down to Penn State.

This is a very good point. The agency best suited to punish Penn State is their accrediting organization, the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. Some of the most basic principles of accreditation have to do with the integrity of the institution, proper institutional control and supervision by the administration and board of trustees, providing a safe environment, and fostering an appropriate culture and environment. Penn State's administration and board of trustees made a complete mockery of those standards.
Forget banning the football team for a year. That's small potatoes. Let them go without any federal funding for a year. Make any incoming students have to go elsewhere for a year if they have federally funded student loans. Of course, that would never happen though, because PSU's accreditation isn't currently on probation.
