[QUOTE="IlliniOX08, post: 1216557, member: 227584"] There's a difference in that what Beckman was doing was directly related to players. Baylor is also directly related to the players and with Briles help gave them a competitive advantage by shielding players from facing justice (and thus missing games). The NCAA should, without question, be involved if the schools don't take the appropriate steps to fix the problem. In Illinois' case, well we pretty much cleaned house though it took longer than most would have liked. In Baylor's case I think you'll see the NCAA come calling for them with a pretty big stick if this thing continues to blow up. In PSU's case, while as disturbing and messed up and weird and awful as it was, there weren't really any interactions with the players. Paterno enabled Sandusky to molest children on university grounds and the AD/President certainly didn't do much to squash it. But really all that any of that has to do with athletics is that they're coaches. It didn't affect the outcome of games, it didn't keep ineligible players from playing etc.. Now, yes the kids who swear to stand by Joe are just as stupid as Joe was.. but there's no real jurisdiction for the NCAA to be involved. The police should have been involved a lot sooner and if they were the whole NCAA thing just kind of fixes itself (Paterno and Sandusky can't coach from jail). [/QUOTE]
