"Newly released emails, acquired by Onward State, show NCAA administrators bickering and debating in the wake of Penn State's Jerry Sandusky scandal, and reveal that no one was quite able to figure out the proper punishment for the university or even if the NCAA had jurisdiction to punish PSU at all.

They show that the eventual sanctions, which included fines, scholarship reductions, and a postseason ban, were characterized by former NCAA Vice President of Enforcement Julie Roe Lach as a "bluff," while NCAA Vice President of Academic and Membership Affairs Kevin Lennon figured the only reason Penn State would accept the sanctions was because the school was "so embarrassed they will do anything."

wow. never understood the fine. it's like the NCAA strong armed PSU to pay them 50 million. made no sense why the NCAA would receive that due to legal issues with the school
 
So they feel bad for punishing a school that enabled children getting raped..but completely okay to illegally investigate another school that they had a vendetta with
 
This is beyond the pale. I'm not under any illusion that the NCAA is legitimate in any fashion. But how Emmert is still associated with the NCAA is beyond me. It truly is a kangaroo court. In light of that type of evidence, if PSU had not agreed to those sanctions, concussions would not be the only liability issue the NCAA would be worried about.
