How do you punish an attitude? A school is not a living, breathing thing. It doesn't have an attitude. It's the individuals that are running things that have an attitude and all of them are either dead, in prison, or facing criminal charges. So they are being punished. The NCAA is there to regulate athletics. If there are things going on that are breaking competitive balance rules or things like that, that's where the NCAA steps in. I just don't see where they have jurisdiction in a case like this. I guess I just believe more in punishing those who are actually guilty than those that aren't. I'm all for taking away the wins and I'm ok with a fine too. I'm a little less sure about how I feel about them taking away scholarships and I'm 100% against them banning them from post season play. If those kids that are there now, who had nothing at all to do with any of this, are able to work their asses off and still make it to a bowl game in the face of all of the adversity they are forced to deal with, I say they should be allowed to play.
