If they had taken the appropriate steps each time it was reported, they wouldn't have had to protect their own asses. They were too worried about the schools reputation and the adverse effect the allegations wouild have on the football team. If they would have taken the appropriate steps, there would have been some negative publicity but it would have been short term and already forgotten about with no long term repercussions by the NCAA, media, or the general public. Instead of treating the blister when it appeared, they just covered it up and hoped it would go away. Instead, it became a bad infection that caused great damage. What the NCAA did is not politically correct, it is morally and ethically correct.

Again I'm not defending the actions of Sandusky, Paterno or any of the conspirators.

The NCAA is not a criminal justice agency and this was a criminal act.

Where was the NCAA when the lacrosse murder, (there is no more heinous crime), happened at Virginia last year. Or the Duke lacrosse scandle (solicitation of prostitution, physical and sexual assault). Or the murder and drug scandle at Baylor a few years back. Where were they?

They weren't there. Not because of ethical or moral responsibility. Those crimes were just as heinous as the Penn State crimes. But they werent the blight on the NCAAs biggest money maker like the Penn State Case is. This is simply the NCAA trying to protect the monetary interest of college football by appearing to lance the boil that Penn State has become. It's all about the Benjamins. Any body that thinks this is about justice or morality is sadly mistaken.

May Jerry Sandusky rot in Hell.
