The NCAA bylaws contain at least one clause that requires member institutions to act affirmatively to uphold the highest standards, provide a positive environment for the growth and development of student athletes, etc.
 
It also defines the concept of Institutional Control, and defines the President and AD as the ultimately responsible parties for ensuring that said control is maintained.
 
It sure sounds like Penn State violated both of those clauses flagrantly, and in a case that involves the [B]rape of children[/B].  If [B]any[/B] of the bylaws - including all those piddling little bits of nonsense dealing with players earning $100 - are enforceable and meaningful, [B]then the ones in question here are also[/B].
 
The issue was covered up to protect the football program, due to its status and cultural importance to the University.  It is an Athletics issue, because the coverup stemmed from the nature of the football program in and of itself.  The PSU Administration, including [B]the persons charged by the bylaws[/B] with acting to maintain a safe and etc. environment, chose not to act.
 
Do you think those bylaws should not be enforced?
