We have an institution that chose to allow children to be raped.

There need to be some "severe" measures from the NCAA. There also need to be "severe" measures from the Big Ten. I'd hope we'll see "severe" measures from anybody else that has any control over that institution and its sports programs--like its sponsors.

Just what, EXACTLY, is "severe" enough punishment for an institution that chose to protect an assistant football coach while he repeatedly raped and sodomized children? If that had been your child--or if it had been you--what would YOU feel is a "severe" enough punishment for an institution where the football team took priority?
