Penn State did what every major state university in the country does - it put a few men at the top of its hierarchy and in positions of authority. Penn State's command/oversight structure is no different than any other school's; it's pretty much standard fare. By all outward appearances for 99.999% of the individuals associated with Penn State, nobody had done anything wrong or had reason to believe they had.
The problem is that the 4 men at the top of that chain lied, deceived and covered up evidence of some extraordinarily heinous acts. One of those men is dead and the other 3 are going to pay dearly for it. Those are the people that need to be punished, not the poor souls that are taking over for them. Not the students, teachers, etc... that had absolutely nothing to do with this scandal.
Penn State has done nothing wrong. Curley, Schultz, Spanier and Paterno did and they will be punished for their conduct. To try to ascribe their conduct to an entire University system and make a decision that will negatively impact thousands of completely innocent parties is the worst kind of mob mentality and nothing more than a witch hunt.

ignorance is not an excuse
as a collective institution, Penn State allowed multiple children to be raped on school grounds. Penn state continued to allow children to be raped by covering up previous rapes and by protecting the ACTIVE rapist.
A Criminal level of
Lack of institutional control
If University can get punished
for failing to stop coaches from breaking NCAA recruiting rules etc then it can get punished for this x100000000.
