I admit - kinda agree with what the article is saying. It's the school that reaps most of the benefits of postseason play, and if the school breaks the rules, then it shouldn't be eligible for those benefits. If the NCAA wants to punish the school, I think that's consistent with past sanctions they've doled out.

Personally, I'd like to see the sanctions be limited to either (1) prohibiting Penn State from receiving financial benefits of postseason play, or (2) allowing Penn State athletes to transfer to another school without penalty, or both (1) and (2).

So, if Penn State performs well enough to be eligible for a bowl, then let the players have the fun of playing in the bowl. But, all the money the school would ordinarily take in from that appearance should be divided among all the other bowl participants. Or, have the school identify a cause to have the money donated to (but not in their name).

I guess I see it like this: If the purpose behind having NCAA sanctions is to punish schools that allow or condone improper behavior (cheating, accepting illegal gifts or funds, etc...), then Penn State is deserving of sanctions. I guess that's why I'd like to see the Penn State players have the option to transfer without penalty.
