You're talking about precedent? So was I. In fact, I even used that word multiple times.

Agreed. There is honor in admitting wrong. Someone in that family needs to in order for the moving-on to begin.

JK37- I dont have a good feeling with the NCAA manual, the two things I think that open this up to the NCAA to rule on lack of institutional control are:

Several attacks took place in athletic locker rooms, and Sandusky was being given athletic benefits. Tickets, Use of the facility things like that. This turns it into an NCAA problem as well.

The symantics of "institutional control" do not define its application by the NCAA. Of course Emmert is going to reserve the right of the NCAA to act of it sees fit. But I GUARANTEE they will give the Pennsylvania state legislature ample time to respond. And I believe the legislature's decisions will be enough to satisfy the NCAA.

Ri, you do make a good point. I just don't believe that will be enough to cause the NCAA to act before all other jurisdictive bodies have had ample opportunity to respond.

Mallet, I like Michigan too. My vocation has necessitated my intimate knowledge of the NCAA Division I manual for many years now. Michigan was slapped with penalties regarding a lack of institutional control during the RichRod tenure. If the NCAA chooses to act on this - especially if they do so vociferously - it will set the boldest precedent it ever has. They must reserve the right to exert such power, but I don't believe they will. I believe their rooting for the state legislation to do it well enough that they don't have to step in.

i've already said, i think they are hoping that its taken care of for them. but i would not be surprised at all give the heinous nature of the crime and the NCAA's proclivity to use institutional control as its blanket charge.

As the NCAA begins to sort through the avalanche of information that Penn State's independent investigation brought to light, it will have the difficult task of appropriately handling perceived justice in a case that found its way to the highest offices in the university's administration.

Can't believe they actually did it. It was the right move that is for sure.

It sounds like they're all about to kill Joe Paterno.
