John Thompson and Rick “Doc” Walker: Both agreed on Thompson’s radio show that the
course of non-action taken by Paterno and the fact that they continued to allow
Sandusky access to Penn State was so unbelievable and so illogical that only
one conclusion could be drawn: Sandusky
had some serious dirt on Paterno, and if Paterno blew the whistle, Sandusky was
going to take Joe Pa down…
Mr. Tony: Not Kornheiser, but our local Mr. Tony called for
Penn State to “shelve
their football program, effective immediately, for five years. Let the players
transfer.” We disagree. Simply put, the institution as an institution
did nothing wrong, the leaders of the institution are guilty of wrong
doing. As importantly, and maybe more so
depending on one’s perspective, the current players, some of the coaches, the
trainers, all the other football program employees, the cheerleaders, the
students, the fans, the alums and the
boosters did nothing wrong. Why punish
everybody? How about starting an assistance fund for the victims and making Penn State football donate $1 million a year for five or ten years?
While
it seems unlikely that the Suits In Indianapolis (Formerly Kansas) will take
any action claiming they don’t enforce the law just the NCAA’s rules, it would
make sense for them to remove the transfer restrictions for Penn State’s
current scholarship football players.
Speaking
of the NCAA and Penn State: One of the
NCAA’s favorites is “lack of institutional control.” That’s almost funny. Almost.
