But Penn State's wrongs were so far above anything related to competition and amateurism that there is no way the NCAA should've allowed them to play football immediately. And the "they weren't a repeat violator" excuse was ridiculous as they had turned a deliberate blind eye to Sandusky's actions for years. The details of the case are disgusting, and short of killing people there is nothing a school could've done that is worse than what went on at Penn State.
