Let me be clear ... I don't care what happens to PSU football. I have believed that they have put up a phony, almost nauseating, front of purity since Rip Engel left and Paterno took over.
 
But at the same time I think there's a lot of confusion about what the NCAA can and will do. Most of the people seem to believe tht the NCAA is some kind of quasi-government agency that runs things. They don't understand that th NCAA answers only to the University presidents.
 
I think what they will do is appoint committees and do studies into the limits of their charter and all sorts of bureaucratic stuff and play "stall ball". And the scandal will disappear off the front page. And in the end the NCAA will huff and puff and do little.
 
This is the same NCAA who has allowed college football to get to its current point. College football is a great sport, but at the same time it's a compete joke. A significant proportion of the kids playing it are barely literate and are getting little out of the college classes they attend.This is the NCAA that's going to fix the problems?
 
The major universities can just leave the NCAA if they don't like what the NCAA does. And that's been discussed many times.
 
The NCAA isn't going to do anything to endanger the cash cow that football represents to these schools. Whatever they do to Penn State, they have to do to others. And that's what will guide their eventual actions ... if any.
