I am upset about the child abuse committed by Sandusky and the cover-up by Paterno, Curley, Schulz and Spanier. The lives of many young children have been adversely impacted by these men.

And that is my point.

The five individuals were involved with these tragic events, not the assistant football coaches, not the football players, not the faculty and not the student body.

I believe the NCAA president and executive board overstepped their authority by imposing very harsh penalties on the Penn State football program and by extension on the entire university.

The penalties will needlessly decimate one of the premier athletic programs in the country and could debilitate the entire university.
