re: #143 garhighway

If the level of service they have now has been artificially subsidized by a corrupt football program, then having it revert to what it would have been in the absence of that program smells like justice to me.

Yes, except that, again, the current students had no knowledge of the situation, so essentially (by this logic) they were misled into attending an institution that would have looked less competitive had the full situation been known.

My sole point on this, once again, is that the argument that suspending the football program “punishes the current players” is invalid, since any punishment, more or less, punishes current students.

I am not arguing that PSU should not be punished (actually I did argue that they should have self-punished before it got to this stage, but that isn’t an argument against punishment).
