Into the Wayback Machine for JoePA

If the political got any more personal the NCAA would dig up the remains of Coach Paterno and hold a bonfire on campus;

Penn State football was all but leveled Monday by an NCAA ruling that wiped away 14 years of coach Joe Paterno's victories and imposed a mountain of fines and penalties, crippling a program whose pedophile assistant coach spent uncounted years molesting children, sometimes on university property.

The sanctions by the governing body of college sports, which capped eight months of turmoil on the central Pennsylvania campus, stopped short of delivering the "death penalty" of shutting down the sport. But the NCAA hit Penn State with $60 million in fines, ordered it out of the postseason for four years, and will cap scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years. The school also will be on probation for five years.

Any current or incoming football players are free to immediately transfer and compete at another school.

Ah yes, the players.  Whose hard work brought millions of dollars into the Penn State program over those same 14 years.  Let's hope they feel all that nearly uncompensated effort wasn't slandered by the suits at the NCAA, just so the political correctness mavens can feel good about themselves.
