re: #130 lawhawk

The football program should have been disbanded. The university institutionalized the failings that allowed Sandusky to commit his abuse and didn’t do enough to protect innocents.

The scandal will eventually fade and the program will eventually return in full form.

Heck, a point shaving scandal at a bunch of NYC area colleges had longer lasting results -

Penn State should have at least done the same as LIU, or the NCAA should have imposed a similar fate. And that was for point shaving (gambling) - not sexual abuse of minors by a school official with a coverup by other school officials.

I agree. Frankly, continuing “business as usual” has no impact. At the very least the football program should be suspended for 5-10 years. The only way to force change is to shock the system and remove the revenue source.

I think continuing the program shows that the system values money and tradition over children.

It’s shameful.
