infrared41 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Why would the NCAA reprimand Penn State, especially when the money is right there to be made? They probably views this as "negative publicity is still publicity". Penn State is still going to sell out. All their road games are going to sell out. They know college football fans are too dumb to boycott.Right, because pedophilia is always a good draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NCAA doesn't care about anything but making money. They don't pay players because there is money to be made, and I believe they won't crack down on Penn Sate for the exact same reason.

The fact that what happened at Penn State is unprecedented can't have anything to do with it. Yeah, it has to be about the NCAA not wanting to lose any money on Penn State. That's the only possible explanation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As of this moment, I have ZERO faith in the NCAA -- But if they were to take action against Penn State, by view of the NCAA could quite possibly change.

Penn St wills till sell out from people/alums who are feeling overprotective of the school in the wake of the scandal, those that don't think Paterno did anything wrong and is being "railroaded", and those with a morbid curiosity to see what it going to happen this year at games. Away games will probably draw even better just because they'll be a target of people who are rightly angry and want to boo the hell out of them, etc... And I have no doubt that an inordinate amount of violence will ensue at both this year compared with a typical football game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A crapton of people will watch in hopes of them losing, and even more will show up at road games to loudly boo them. On top of that, the delusional Joepologists will still fill up home games as if nothing happened. POTD: 2/4/12 3/4/12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 But how much revenue does the NCAA really see because of Penn State football? Directly and indirectly?Is this one program really that important in the NCAA's finances that the NCAA will do nothing? I think you're overvaluing how much they care about Penn State's dollar.

You have have a few people in Happy Valley that really upset if the program is shut down. But your going to have an entire country upset if the program is allowed to play on as if nothing happened. I also think the NCAA has alot of political pressure on them to act. Would not be surprised to find out the NCAA was getting calls or e-mails from politicians daily basically saying if the NCAA doesn't take action, they will. And I don't think the NCAA is going to put themselves in a situation where they can be gone after as well for going to bat for Penn State football.

Just like every inbred yahoo who still talks of Him as a saint makes the entire Penn state "nation" look bad, the opposite would be true if the "right" side resorted to "wrong" tactics. It's hypocrisy to protest against one person who committed crimes by lmmittibg one yourself, even if the nature of the crimes is markedly different "The views expressed here are mine and do not reflect the official opinion of my employer or the organization through which the Internet was accessed."

FiddySicks Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 That's the way I've felt about this whole situation. What happened at Penn State was absolutely awful. But to act in a violent or illegal way against what happened would only be continuing the vicious cycle. I understand the vitrol people have towards this, and its well merited, but it has to be approached in a level headed and rational manner. Frankly, I find the reaction some have had against this whole situation to be nearly as disappointing as the issue itself.

infrared41 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 The NCAA could literally (yes, literally) carpet bomb Penn State back to the stone age and it still wouldn't be enough for some of the people participating in this thread. If the NCAA decides that Penn State shuts it down for a year, certain people will be on here complaining because it wasn't two years. If it's two years, they'll be complaining that it wasn't five.

There is no reason to resort to vigilantism or the like. However if PSU plays this season, the NCAA and Big 10 do nothing, and the trustees continue to try going about their business like nothing happened (or they're too spineless to stand up to a few Joepologist alumni) then things like this will be the least of their problems. If the bodies in charge don't act this sooner or later, I fear this will just be the beginning of a very scary time in Happy Valley and anywhere the PSU football team plays. Because the longer they don't act, the more reason some people will see they have to act outside the law and regulations themselves. As for this board, frankly it's nice to see a place not inundated with people who feel the need to defend Joe Paterno out of cultlike imprinted reflex.

Dexter Morgan Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Penn State needs to knock this down immediately! JoePa was not an educator, coach, nor a humanitarian. He was an enabler, a coward and a fraud.And those players running behind him, if done today, would turn and sprint the other way.Take it down or add "Pedophile enabler"The NCAA could literally (yes, literally) carpet bomb Penn State back to the stone age and it still wouldn't be enough for some of the people participating in this thread. If the NCAA decides that Penn State shuts it down for a year, certain people will be on here complaining because it wasn't two years. If it's two years, they'll be complaining that it wasn't five. And so on... Just an opinion...Is that not fair? considering the actions or non-actions of the university? I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
