@charlesrobinson In Big 10 terms, Penn State football just became Indiana Football.

So in the end, the Paterno/Bowden battle for all-time wins leader came down to who had fewer vacated wins. ... College sports!

Other than the fine (which is only one year of football revenue), there's nothing extraordinary about this penalty.
Emmert yammered on about needing to change the culture -- this does none of that. Taking money away won't change the culture. Mandating more adminstrative staff and reports won't change the culture.
There will still be 101K mouth-breathing Paterno worshipers filling that stadium in the fall. If you want to change the culture, *THAT'S* what you have to take away.
This was the case that absolutely demanded suspension of the program, and the NCAA didn't have the balls to do it.

"Blowing up Penn State gives perfect cover for every other big football school that is now, to use NCAA president Mark Emmert's phrase, "too big to fail," which describes all of them, and which describes the NCAA, too, while we're at it. It creates the illusion that everything is on the up-and-up again, and that other schools will see Penn State and totally get it now (they won't). In its own stupid way, it's the perfect end point for the Penn State scandal: rotten institution punishes institutional rot." deadspin.com/5928204/the-ncaa-is-using-penn-state-to-justify-its-own-horrid-existence/Did he really use the phrase "too big to fail"?
