Would you be willing to call for a temporary ban on the football program to right the wrongs?


Idk. Seems like you'd be punishing the wrong ppl. Everyone that covered it up at PSU was either fired and facing criminal charges, is dead, or in jail.

That's the problem created by judicial persons. When they commit crimes or wrongdoings throught their actions, other people also get the brunt of the punishment. Take Enron. Skilling, Fastow, and others got punishments but that didn't stop the SEC from going after the entity, not that much remained.

Let's put a hypothetical that is a bit easier to understand. If a corporation or school was responsible for enabling and covering up a murder for hire scheme, the people responsible would go down, but I don't think people would be clamoring to save the entity itself. Maybe I'm wrong on that.
