Penn State?s Second Chance

Emily Bazelon agrees that the NCAA is punishing ?past, present, and future students ? with its decision today. ?The NCAA is coming down not on the individual wrongdoers, but on every Penn State fan,? she wrote on Slate today. But did the NCAA really punish all these students and alums through its sanctions? Not at all. Having to watch bad football for 10 years (the amount of time it?ll probably take the Penn State program to recover and recruit another top team) is hardly hardship. They do get to attend one of the greatest universities in the world, one that serves 94,000 students across 24 campuses. That ain?t nothing. In fact, I would bet every young person struggling to get into an overenrolled math class at Miami Dade College (161,000 students, with many thousands more left out for lack of funding) would gladly trade places with any Penn State student who feels unfairly punished by these sanctions.
