This punishment should come against the school
and its officials, not the students, and clearly this decision goes against the
students. What the hell did they do to deserve this? Nothing!

Joe Paterno followed university protocol when this
incident took place. Again if the NCAA decides to punish the university, then
do so, but it is solely the fault of the university for having questionable
protocol.

Penn State won those games whether the NCAA takes
the wins away or not. I always question decisions to take wins away. It would
be as if a third party decided to take the win away from Texas, revoked their
independence, and made Mexico the ruler again. Penn State won.
If the NCAA wants to punish people in a fair way, it is the
individuals involved that should be punished. This needs to take place on an
individual level, not at an entire institution level. I believe this was an
attempt to “look” tough on child abuse and to come out looking like a hero.
Shame, NCAA! Shame!
