Penn State Horror Show

I'm not going to add to the copious analysis about the Penn State child sex abuse horror. My gut feeling is that the entire administration, athletic dept. staff and athletic donors need to be subpoened and prosecuted, then summarily fire those involved and prosecute. The NCAA needs to shutter the football program, or at least close it for a year to re-evaluate the whole institution. They've done it for far less, Ohio state players selling autographs and shirts, and they won't do it for this?
If the football program goes down, it goes down and ends. It's OK. There are bigger things than this, people. Our societal mores and the core of what constitutes ethical action are both at stake.
