Sandusky is in Jail. Paterno is dead. Most of the leaders in this report will never work for Penn St again. None of those guys will be a part of Penn St football ever again, so how does it make sense to punish Penn St football? Thats like putting a murder's entire family under house arrest for 2 years after hes convicted. Makes zero sense.
No. In this case the institution as a legal person had a role to play in this matter. While the individuals should be punished, the legal person also failed through the failings of its agents. Penn State as an institution doesn't get to skate by saying it was the employees' fault. The institution acts through its employees.
This point has nothing to do with the NCAA portion of the debate. It is offered soley to show that the institution is culpable beyond what happens to its agents. More trouble for the institution is warranted, necessary, and expected--whether from a court of law, the NCAA, or an accrediting entity.

It wouldn't upset me if they got the DP, but I think it is unnecessary and not likely to serve much of a purpose other than to give the public the pound of flesh they are craving for as a result of the awful crimes committed.
