As much as your probably right the death penalty was never an option that was going to fly.  As horrific as that situation was it didnt give PSU an advantage on the football field which is what is needed ie the SMU situation in which a death penalty situation could apply, and even at that point SMU had been on probation already and warned repeatedly to stop before they finally got the death penalty.
 
The problem the NCAA ultimately ran into is that everyone who was reponsible for that horrific scenario playing out is either A. Dead B. In Jail C. No longer associated with the program.  At this point your punishing PSU superfans and current players who probably couldnt pick Sandusky out of a lineup if you paid them.  The NCAA was scared S less that a federal jury would side with PSU and hit them with huge damages so they basically folded there tent at this point and said "mission accomplished".  I always figured the sanctions would never last the entire time it was enivitable unfortunately.
