NCAA Investigations

Those that broke the law should be punished by the courts.

Which is exactly what is happening at PSU.

Those schools that brake NCAA rules, and yes they did, should be punished by the NCAA.

Which is exactly the NCAA should have taken the same approach that they did with the Baylor basketball murder and left the lawbreakers to be dealt with by the courts and deal with NCAA violations only. Problem was, they knew that they were extremely unlikely to find NCAA violations at PSU.

Now correct me if I am wrong but this is what Wiki says about the Baylor issue.

Now PSU got punished not for what JS did but for the concealing of it for all that time.  Now I realize one was concealing NCAA violations and the others concealing crimes but I think it is similiar at least.  The leaders at the university concealed a crime to protect the university.  To me that is enough to punish.

Paying the tuition was an NCAA violation, therefore it was an NCAA violation that he was covering up. So the NCAA punished them for the NCAA violation and the covering up of the NCAA violation. What they did not do, was address the murder and the cover up of that.

Whether it was covered up to protect the reputation of the university or not, it was not the covering up of an NCAA violation. The person who committed the crimes that were being covered up is in jail and will die there (hopefully slowly and painfully), those who covered up the crime are also going to trial and will likely be punished because they covered up a crime (which itself, is a crime).

If an NCAA violation was discovered, even inadvertently via the Freeh report, then by all means, punish them for that. But leave the crimes to the criminal justice system like they did with Baylor.
