I agree, but shutting down Penn St.'s football will not stop $-related NCAA crimes/violations/etc. The SMU death penalty proved that.
What happened at Penn State was a horrible aberration that as far as I'm aware, is one-of-a-kind as it relates to college football and involvement of school officials. All the bad press will keep this from happening again, but anyone involved should still be fired - they got rid of Paterno to protect their program, but now they need to take it a step further.
