The Patriot Post — Voice of Essential Liberty

Since all those involved in the heinous coverup are no longer at Penn State, the rest of the sanctions levied by the NCAA are punishing the innocent, not the guilty. I fail to see how this is moral.

For example, consider the $60M fine. As money is fungible, Penn State can just as easily forgo investment in a new library or new engineering labs as they can cut spending on their football program. This would directly impact the students of Penn State, the overwhelming majority of whom are there to gain an education and are in no way involved in Penn State football.

I think the NCAA missed a golden opportunity to institute major reforms of college sports. Division 1 football has become little more than a professional farm team system for the NFL. It's long past time to get the big money out of college sports and restore a proper balance between scholarship and athletics.

The Patriot Post is a highly acclaimed advocate of Essential Liberty, the restoration of constitutional limits on government and the judiciary, and the promotion of free enterprise, national defense and traditional American values. We believe, as did our Founders, that Essential Liberty must be defended at any cost. "They that can give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety." (Ben Franklin) · "A Constitution of Government once changed from Freedom, can never be restored. Liberty, once lost, is lost forever." (John Adams) · "The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants." (Thomas Jefferson) · "If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that my child may have peace." (Thomas Paine) · "It does not take a majority to prevail...but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men. ... If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animating contest of freedom, go from us in peace. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!" (Samuel Adams) · "Give me liberty or give me death!" (Patrick Henry) · "Our cause is noble; it is the cause of mankind!" (George Washington)
