10 schollies for 4 years is a pretty big deal.

Especially when combined with kids being able to leave AND kids being able to stay on scholly and not play.

I agree, but they could probably still be better than half the big 10 if they could recruit. The bowl ban really makes that hard to do.

That's what I'm thinking. It's the only way they could punish the dead guy.

This isn't the 80's no way they can prevent their opponent from being televised especially at home!

Or just ban them from profiting from TV.

Ya, but the NCAA has to remember, they only have as much power as the institutions give them. If they have a TV ban that really pisses off all of the opponent teams on the schedule. In a time of relative flux with all the discussion of "Super Conferences" and possible scenarios of leaving the NCAA behind. They probably don't want to overreach here.

The bad part is Bobby Bowden teams were in legal and/or NCAA trouble all of the time, but the punishments weren't as harsh then

This is my problem with it. This basically opens it up to the NCAA to levy punishments against a sports programs based on the actions of an athletic program employee, regardless of whether or not it had anything to do with gaining an competitive advantage.

I disagree. If the problem were reported when it was made aware, I dont see the NCAA doing anything. The cover up is why Penn State is getting this.

The only competitive advantage I see is maybe the one year Sandusky coached after the initial investigation in 1998. I've heard some say that players would've transferred or committed to other schools had they known about Sandusky, but there's no way to say definitively that it would've happened. I don't think you can say something is a competitive advantage without being able to actually prove it would've happened.

In a strange twist, now Penn State's last win had Mike McQueary at QB.

And I agree with webfire. It did have a huge impact on competitive advantage. Being able to sell "the penn state way" and JoePA to recruits is huge.
