I just watched the NCAA handing out its penalty to Penn State regarding their actions by sweeping child abuse under the rug. The NCAA premise, that having a winning football team trumps education and the protection of children is wrong.
Thank you for reaffirming that winning a game at all cost is not justified.
Hearing about the child abuse at the first instance by Penn State and reacting correctly would have only resulted in a mild ripple and people would have stood behind the university because it did the right thing. But by sweeping everything under the rug and believing that winning a foot ball game is everything and to borrow an army term, collateral damage happens. Well, I can understand if you are under the gun, but for a foot ball team, absolutely not.
