In all seriousness and not trying to entice hate here, but that sounds like the same reasoning jurors had for letting Casey Anthony off the hook.

Look, the NCAA won't ever use the death penalty for what it did: killed one school's program and lead to the demise of an entire conference.

That being said, I don't see why any reason why an organization with enough power to do just that to limit itself in doling out an effective punishment that does the minimum amount of damage to other institutions.

By eliminating any non-cons (which I presume to mean PSU would have to pay any school they've already agreed to use as a tune up game) you knock out some of the school's revenue, and with a postseason ban you make some recruits think a little bit harder on whether or not they go to school at (not so) Happy Valley. Also, a reduction in future scholarship offers might be in order too.

tl;dr: the death penalty goes too far in punishing a lot more than the school's administration, but a severe penalty still needs to be handed down.
