It is this very attitude that enables the abusers. Everything the school did to protect Sandusky at the expense of his victims was done to protect the football program. It is only fitting that that very malevolence is what destroyed Penn State football in the end.

It is a football related scandal but the NCAA has no business getting involved in this sort of thing. Its mandate isn't to judge criminal behaviour, it's to maintain fairness in athletic programs and enforce NCAA rules. Persecuting those involved should have been left to the courts.
