Unbelievable - the NCAA was involved as a result of one of the greatest coverups in sport history. Talk about a loss of perspective.

Oh yeah, don't talk about how the NCAA is punishing everybody that is innocent at the school. disrupting the lives of players, and students who had NOTHING TO DO WITH THE SCANDAL. What about the tax payers of Penn? their kids will be paying this fine for years with increased tuition. AND where is this 60 million going? Sounds like communism to me!

Smack apparel should be smashed directly in the face. What an absolute disgrace.
That company only has interest in financially benefiting from the travesty enacted upon innocent children. I had heard those disgusting shirts were sold in the PSU -should now be known as PU-, maybe that is not true. Certainly should not be allowed on campus.
A complete lack of character, ethics and compassion for the victims shown by Smack, as well as the PU students, community, athletes, coaches and general public.
This is just putrid;. I wish the worst for SMack, will never do business with them or any company that attempts to profit from the abuse of children.
They are now as complicit as infernal paterno, the coaches and athletes who knew what was going, the paterno family and probably most of college station.
May they all rot in hell. After all, kids in this country are now expendable commodities to be used and abused, then thrown away.
Good job America!

Whenever there is a scandal at a school (paying athletes, improper coaching, etc), the school is punished retroactively and moving forward. Scholarships are decreased. Bowl appearances are cancelled. Previous wins are nullified. Etc. Future students always pay for the sins of the past. Why should this be any different. Because Paterno was some saint in peoples' eye. Too bad. He lost everything when he didn't go to the police with what he knew. Penn State is lucky the NCAA didn't shut the whole program down. Character matters and this program decided wins were more important that character and protecting kids. Shameful

What about the innocent victims? The coaching staff/administration covered up to save one of their own. True, the players had no part in the mess, but the punishment is deserved. The NCAA had to set an example. I think they should have been given the 'Death Penalty'.

Enough is enough. These tee shirts won't help the situation but in reading some of the emails I don't understand why these same people aren't calling for shutting down the Catholic church as well...The situations are very, very similar. Some good people did some very bad things and now many innocent people are suffering because of that....idf PSU should be shut down why not the Catholic Church. The answer is that you punish and lock up the guilty people and that is what they are doing and will continue to do.

No body is innocent except the children who
were raped and Many people stood by and
Did nothing. Students and fanatics of penn state
Need to shut up and take thier punishment!

The blame in this case lies only with PENN STATE...put that on a tee shirt and sell it!

What happened was terrible, no doubt about that and no one is downplaying that. But the next terrible event is the NCAA sticking their nose into something that it has nothing to do with. The incident is a criminal incident that did and is currently going through the court system. But the incident had nothing to do with SPORTS. That is what the NCAA is to watch over and protect. The NCAA just used this terrible incident to try to flex their muscle and gain back the power they have been loosing in recent years in instituting sanctions on schools that violate College Athletics. And Niko, you are so far off in your statement. Joe Paterno, when he learned of the incdient, did contact the police. He followed his chain of command, as administrators and organizations must do, and forwarded the information up the command structure and he notified his superiors, which included the college police force. Joe was never a big supporter of the NCAA's either, so this was also their chance to get back at him. And tell me, in the past, when there was a report to the NCAA of misconduct in an athletic program, the NCAA did an investigation to determine how valid the information is and if they found just cause, they instituted the sanctions. In this case, the NCAA DID NO investigation, just took someone elses word, statements, conclusion and assumption as being Gospel Truth. That is a real crime.
