Good grief.
Tell them that the Catholic Church has been busy doing just that.

I won’t be able to believe that statement until we see some bishops behind bars.

=Typist;9567322]Because a very strong, compelling and decisive message needs to be sent to every other college administrator in the country, coaches and players, and the rest of us too.

By confiscating wins, when the crime had nothing to do with on-the-field performace, they are punishing the former student athletes. Punish the people involved, not innocent bystanders. Even the US military tries to avoid “collateral damage”.

Children are more important than football.

One child is more important than every football team in the entire country, and all the games they’ve played since the beginning of time.

Agreed, including the young people who played and earned victories. And yes, they did build that!

You want strong authoritative moral clarity? You’re getting it from the NCAA. I say bravo!

I don’t say bravo to punishing the innocent student athletes.

The fundamental problem in these kinds of cases is that many people, including many in authority, get swept up in a deep dark fog of endless rationalization, and only determined decisive action will wake folks up, restore their clarity, and force them to pay attention to something other than their own personal limited interest.

Yeah, those student athletes really needed this wake up call. They should have been more observant about what Sandusky was doing.
