Message: [QUOTE="RF2044, post: 979007, member: 40"] That's why I couldn't believe the backlash to their initial sanctions. Yes, they were unprecedented--but that's because the atrocities associated with the cover up were unprecedented. That the Penn State "joebots" behaved as though THEY were the victims demonstrated that the sanctions weren't severe enough, and that the culture was even further gone than I thought. Reducing the sanctions after one year was both a cop-out and negative reinforcement of that broken culture, IMO. This quote from the article sums it up perfectly: [INDENT][I]"The culture hasn’t changed. Nothing has changed. Nobody learned. The NCAA should have shut down Penn State football. The punishment wasn’t enough."[/I][/INDENT] [/QUOTE]
