NCAA source: "Unprecedented" penalties against Penn State

Ya, but if it is true then the idiot who leaked it may have just retyped it and put 1AA in there....
Not according to the CNN article:
"NCAA President Mark Emmert wrote a letter to Penn State President Rodney Erickson in November that included four questions he wanted the university to answer.
According to the source, the NCAA felt the questions were answered by the Freeh report and therefore it could act before the university responded.
The source wasn't sure if the university has been made aware of the penalties yet but says the university was not involved in the decision. It was "not a negotiated process," the source said."
Sounds like Emmert is power hungry, as Andy Staples maintains:
"Penn State will get penalized Monday. Then what? What happens the next time the agreed-upon process moves too slow for Emmert and he decides to play judge, jury and executioner for a different school?"

Sorry but if your employer does something so terrible, guess what....the employees get punished. Should Enron have been allowed to return to business as normal once the board was replaced? Hell no.
Life isn't fair. It's too bad for the people who relies on Penn State to make a living but if you don't bring the hammer down on them...it just encourages other schools to cover things up because they know nothing will happen to them.

Yeah, and based on Andy's past work, it definitely doesn't sound like he has some sort of axe to grind with the NCAA.
People have been complaining for years about the NCAA being spineless, and now that they're finally doing something to mitigate that, Andy Staples complains that they're not taking their sweet time to do their own investigation that would likely duplicate the results achieved over several months by the former head of the FBI. What could the NCAA's own investigation find that could possibly lessen the well-deserved hammer Penn State's about to receive?
Going to prison isn't incentive? But losing scholarships and bowl games will be?

yeah because the NCAA could do a much better investigation than a op FBI official . pirate
Ummm....You do realize that the FBI is still investigating, right? Sandusky taking one of the victims to the Alamo Bowl is a federal crime in and of itself.
I think that psu is trying to get the NCAA part over with as quickly as they can. That way they can plan for the future.
The next step will be the feds coming after them, FBI and the SEC and IRS concerning some of the business deals that these folks had together. That will of course will be followed by all of the civil litigation from the victims.
This is just the beginning of the real pain for psu. They need to know what they will have, program wise, so they can plan for the rest accordingly.

It's nothing but a BIG FINE:
No ‘death penalty,' but a big fine for Penn State - Omaha.com
My problem this is that Penn State is a REALLY BIG institution, they'll just have a big fund-raising drive and pay this off in a week. I just knew the NCAA would **** this up big-time.

If prison time were the big deterrent you claim we wouldn't be having this conversation in the first place. People already go to jail for child molestation and covering up crimes. But somehow this time people going to jail will magically be a deterrent. :nah:
The fine is only one component. If Omaha.com is claiming that's all the punishment is then they're full of **** because the NCAA hasn't released their punishment yet.
