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.
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.

Before today, I wanted to believe these people just didn't realize the magnitude of their failure to act. After this report, I'm ready to throw the book at PSU.
The Freeh report makes it pretty clear that there was no institutional control. Compliance was decentralized and understaffed. There were repeated instances of child rape inside the football complex, where the AD and head coach (and McQuery, but he had a lot less power) knew there was a pedophile. They knew this about him, and still allowed him to bring children around, and even travel to games. They never even attempted to find out who the boy was in the 2001 incident. There is no defense or justification for this. The NCAA can, and IMO should, nail them to the wall for lack of institutional control, dishonesty and whatever else they can come up with.
The sad thing is, in 1998 the DA declined to prosecute. And in 2001, if they had just gone to the authorities and done the right thing then, the fallout would have been over in a few weeks. They could have taken the high road, said this has occurred, and here's how we've addressed it, in accordance with our values. Instead they just covered it up. And kids lives were destroyed.

Stopping the football program for this is like taking away a bank robbers drivers license.
