Penn State Covers Up For a Pedophile: The Cult is Alive and Well - Page 542 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

PSU's budget for next year is 4.3 billion.

They have a 2 billion dollar endowment fund.

They get 500m a year from PA state.

They make, maybe, 100m a year from football a year.

They'll continue to make a big chunk of that judging by the devotion of the PSU cultists.

PSU athletes will most likely be allowed to transfer and keep their scholarships.

I am sorry, only thing that's gonna hurt is PSU football cultists, which the NCAA and rest of the world fully intend to punish.

Why don't they just take it from you? That makes about as much sense.

I hope the whole ****ing football team x-fers.

I would quite enjoy watching PSU get slaughtered by some teams.

the rumors are it is going into an endowment fund to serve the victims of sexual abuse/this crime

and, again, i assume you do not support fines for the NFL or any other NCAA team for any reason what-so-ever, right?

do you support fines for corporations which commit fraud? if so, why? assume any money gained from the fraud is paid back through civil lawsuits.

Yeah, but when I take about the Gophers Final Four appearance being vacated, its easy to joke about how "Oh well I guess that never happened haha lol" because it was about having some papers written and who gives a ****.

Its gonna be a little different when any time any PSU fan wants to claim that the rightful wins leader is Paterno, the other guy just says "Yeah but...8 year olds, dude"

according to most definitions, this isn't even schadenfreude, given that all of the "misfortune" was experienced by the victims. pedo u did this to themselves.

I'm pretty ignorant to recruiting/scholarship rules. How many scholarships does the NCAA need to take away for it to basically cripple the program?

corporate coffers, just like PSU coffers.

or NFL team coffers

or the coffers of OSU

whatever.

can you explain why, exactly, you oppose a fine here? can you rectify that with support of fines of institutions elsewhere? stockholders, employees, janitors, USC student athletes, NFL players, etc. are all harmed by them as well.

I wonder what the B1G's rules are regarding throwing someone out.

Is this in play at all for PSU?

Basically 25/year are offered so taking away 10/year is hitting really hard.

I could only see it ever being considered if the B1G could simultaneously get ND to agree to join (lol Big East). It's not "right" but I think it's reality.

This is 1000000x better than just vacating the wins and letting PSU/JoePa fade away.

Let them keep the wins... every time someone gets close to the record, PSU will get reminded of their folly.

Has a school ever vacated wins due to non-sport related behavoir? Just seems so random. Are they going to force them to have their endzones turf depict the pedo bear too?

Wouldn't they need to cap the total number available in some way? Or would it just be like 75 total if they took away 10 a year?

Also what is going to prevent PSU from giving academic scholarships to players to cover the difference?

Not sure what you mean.

The actual Death Penalty since I'm assuming this little incident will include some probation and that's clearing violating it.
