I don't know? Do you know? I would guess it probably does. If some big institution covered up my getting raped by an old man, I would take some solace out of them getting humiliated and punished and would look to me like some measure of justice. I'd also get some satisfaction out of knowing its not going to happen again.

That has to be the last thing the NCAA wants to do. The opposite of what they want to do. They don't want football in general to look bad. Why would they?
They had to do something. They can't put anyone in jail, so what should they have done?
