How about a scholarship reduction, post season ban, and canceling their non conference schedule for 2 years? It's not quite the Death Penalty, but it would still ne significant.

I like the non-conference ban for 2-3 years. I actually think this would be a pretty effective punishment without doing the collateral damage of a death penalty.

missed it re the Trib reprint. Takes the editorial courage down a piece. Not much risk for the Trib to payback from PSU rabids and fans.

I don't know if the NCAA will have the guts to do anything other than cover itself as best it can. I hope it will, but not counting on it. What's much more important is what Penn St does. From the...

The statue was taken down this morning. The library will keep Joe's name.Here's the LINK to PSU President Rodney Erickson's statement.
