So, to continue the argument and go a step further (merging some thought form the B10 Thread) .....
First, I think talent's and dsl's positions that the B10 (or the NCAA) should take no steps to become involved in meeting out punishment for the school's collective failure to act responsibly in the Sandusky affair has its reasonable advocates, I'm not among them.
I'd have to think about what steps I would want to take from Delaney's level but I would certainly be informed by the kind of thing that Tony has brought up in some interesting detail.
PSU has, indeed, acted in much the same way as the Japanese leadership acted in the context of the sunami and subsequent nuclear melt down. They stuck together, hunkered down and hoped the problem would sort itself out. Instead of strong leadership with integrity, they got a cover-up.
Like in Japan, the damage done to the citizens of Japan by the inactions of the Japanese leadership, PSU's leadership was responsible for similar damages albeit to a smaller group of individuals and to the reputation of PSU.
I'm calling for some kind of leverage coming from the top down to uproot that sick culture that caused otherwise reasonable men to act unreasonably. I would think, you'd really have to clean house to get rid of that sort of thing and if I was responsible for making sure that happened, I'd be holding a giant hammer over someone's head to make sure it did.
