any NCAA rules. Did not rape anyone. Did not cover-up any rapes. Did not do anything wrong. How is that so hard for people to understand? SMU was a completely different story, because the football program blatantly broke NCAA rules, and in doing so got a lot of recruits they probably never would have landed otherwise, thus giving the football team an unfair competitive advantage. Penn State's football program did not violate any NCAA rules, and did not gain any competitive advantage in any way from the Sandusky scandal. There are no grounds for punishing the football team. It's really not that difficult to understand.
