The NCAA does not have plenary police power here.

This statement seems obvious, but after all the dumb analogies, it's almost enlightening. It went on for so long, people want the department flushed until PSU is 100% sure nothing remains from the cover-up, and an example should be made, etc... but, the good ole' boy in the good ole' boy network is gone, and the Department of Education is investigating PSU in regards to the Clery Act. My knee-jerk reaction was to vote yes, but reading the part about the DoE investigation provided the realization (or the 'duh' moment) that it's not in the NCAA's court.
