Fine Penn State $1395 and erase almost all the rest of the penalties
I'm not going to rehash all the recent Penn State developments. Hit GD and you'll find them.
In the spirit of the thing, I have a suggestion.
Penn State built a monument to ol' See No Evil, Hear No Evil over there. It's a larger-than-life bronze statue of Joe Paterno that you can find pictures of online. This thing weighs 900 pounds.
Scrap bronze sells for $1.55 per pound. Multiply by 900 pounds and you get $1395.
I would be willing to erase every penalty, except the multimillion-dollar fine that still stands, if Penn State would cut up the Joe Paterno statue, melt it down, sell the metal as scrap, divide the proceeds among all the schools that played Penn State in football when Joe was alive for use in fighting child abuse, remove the rest of the monument with a bulldozer, never allow another monument to Joe Paterno to be erected anywhere, and never use the land the monument was on for anything ever again - including an outhouse.
That, my friends, is the only punishment that will mean anything to them.
