Because money trumps the covering up of pedophilia for decades.

Score for the day
domestic violence is protected with delays.
child abuse is ok.

NC$$ doesn't want PSU to end up like SMU 2.0. It's all about $$$ even in the case of child abuse. Sickening!!

Explain why lifting the bowl ban for a college football team indicates that child abuse is ok? The person who committed the acts is in jail. 2 former PSU employees are facing criminal charges for perjury. Nobody else is facing charges, and despite what you think the "evidence" that a cover up occurred is very shoddy.

I Never understood how punishing current PSU players by not letting them go to bowls accomplished anything anyway.

I agree. but you could use that argument for almost any offense. The purpose is to punish a university that did cover it up (whether the people there currently covered it up or not I have no clue). The purpose is to get young men to not go there to play football to punish the school.

Franks, I don't know the extent of the evidence of a cover up. But there if there wasn't a cover up, there was lots of head turning.

The conspiracy theorist in me says it's because Penn State is 2-0 and the only decent team in the B1G with James Franklin at the coaching helm with every team playing bad on saturday

I don't think PSU was ever at risk of becoming SMU 2.0. Despite scholarship restrictions, PSU continued to put 676,112 fans in seats in 2013.

Those involved in either the criminal acts or in any cover up have been either punished or will be in the justice system. The University as an institution is paying $60M in fines. None of the people involved with the program had anything to do with the past. To punish them never made any sense.

Should have never been banned xtwocentsx
