You do want is right and pay the penalty ... make sure it doesn't happen again.
anything less and it just muddies the waters for the future and creates more problems.
PSU is strong enough to survive 2 years of no football ... and they should have to to send a message to everyone else.

Who is "they"? Please enlighten me. "They" are going to get the hammer on them. Those who covered it up, there's a special place in hell for them, not to mention the major penalties they'll undoubtedly see as a result. The law is not going to go soft on them. Those responsible are going to get hit hard.
The "they" you are referring to are thousands of innocent students who did not cover this up. The "they" you are referring to are the thousands of faculty, staff, and administrators that rely on Penn State as a job to feed their families. The "they" you are referring to are the millions of Penn State taxpayers who are paying millions in taxes to fund the investigation and aftermath of this whole mess (deserved), and now you're asking them to also pay for the massive financial problems Penn State will incur as a result of sanctions. The "they" you are talking about... you are talking about ****ing with an entire state's lifeblood to prove a point, maybe for as long as 20 years. The "they" you are talking about are all non-football PSU athletes -- PSU football pretty much funds all of them. Clean athletes may be stripped of scholarships and forced to transfer schools, even if they love it there.
Who are you trying to stick it to exactly? Because the guys responsible are going to get hammered... hard. The football program is going to take a very long time to recover from this, sanctions or no sanctions. But I suppose you have the ridiculous belief that the entire state of Pennsylvania and students/faculty of the school should be punished, because they were too big of football fans.
