Penn State Scandal

In recent light of the NCAA's penalties against the Penn State University's football program, I wish to add my voice to the choir.  Like 80 to 90 percent of Americans who have followed this story, I too feel the NCAA handed down appropriate punishment.  The next step is to prosecute those who sanctioned coach Sandusky's criminal behavior under the appropriate statutes of law; i.e. Aiding and Abetting, Dereliction of Duty by State Appointed Officers, Acts and Behaviors Unbecoming State Officials, and any other laws that may come into play.  The Freeh Report strongly implicates, reportedly, the former Director of Athletics, the former University President, and the former University Provost in the cover-up of Sandusky's heinous actions.  These men need to be arrested, prosecuted, and convicted, then have them spend prison time as mandated by law.  If these men are allowed to go free, Sandusky's victims will never have complete justice.  To quote Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoomian characters, "I have spoken."
