Really? I'm shocked this is even a debate. I'm fairly certain systematic rape and, at the very least, relatively little action to stop it within the athletic department would seem to be the very definition of "lack of institutional control" no?
 
It really seems to me the bigger sports/ncaa-related issue here (so obviously it pales in comparison to the legal/emotional issues surrounding the case) is that an NCAA athletic department put it's image above it's moral duty to at least put forth serious, serious effort in potentially outing a serial child rapist. That is absolutely an NCAA issue.
 
Listen, I never hated Penn State and still don't but I really don't think there's a single penalty that I would deem too harsh in this instance. They can take away all of JoePa's wins and when someone complains they could respond with, "Oh, you mean the guy who knew child rape was happening but just wasn't sure what to do about it? You're worried about his sugar bowl win? Really?"
