The football program didn't allow the access, certain members of the administration did. And they are being dealt with. Additionally, because those administrators were representatives of the school, the school will be paying millions of dollars to the victims that were not protected as a result of the schools cover up.
Damn, you are one hard headed, narrow minded individual. Football Programs, Universities, and Corporations are not just entities that exist in a vacuum. They are run by individuals that have the power to make policy, make decisions, and dictate to others how they are run.
The people in power of the Penn State Football Program (The Head Coach and AD) along with the people in power of the University (The President and VP) made a decision to not turn in a criminal for committing criminal acts on their campus in their facilities.
USC is currently serving bowl and scholarship sanctions for activities that were committed by a coaching staff and AD that is no longer with the university. They are being punished for simply providing money to recruits to entice them to their university to play football.
So, why should the NCAA only be able to punish programs that provide a few $ to recruits, punish schools for a player signing with an agent on his own, but not have the authority to punish a football program that aided and abetted a child rapist so that their football program would not suffer the consequences of this news being released?
These men covered up major crimes committed in their football facilities for the sole purpose to preserve the reputation of their football program. This is a major football issue and is, by far, the worst scandal that has ever occured by a football program. Ever.
But, you think the NCAA or Big Ten should not step in and punish the program that committed the worst crimes and covered up the worst scandal in the history of college football.
OK. Got it.

quote:Yep and they have been fired by the university, charged with crimes by law enforcement and will be defendants in criminal and/or civil courts. All the proper authorities and venues for dealing with what happened.

quote:Yes, paying recruits has something to do with college athletics and is withing the purview of the NCAA's oversight.

So by banning PSU from fielding a football team, how have you punished any of those four individuals?
