The tOSU president doesn't seem too pleased with Gene Smith...

Death penalty to both OSU and PSU? Mizzou should have kept the their red light on longer.

What rules violations does the NCAA charge PSU with?

There is evidently no room in the NCAA rule book for institutional ethics.

But how would you quantify ethics or define ethics in a rulebook? Would the rulebook basically have to have an "I know it when I see it" type of description? I personally don't think that some sort of "action unbecoming" clause for players/coaches/admins/etc would be unreasonable. I remember having to agree to something like that in high school.

My gut reaction is that there should be a way for the NCAA to issue punishments in the PSU case (pending proof, naturally...this is the US after all), but I would hope that this case doesn't result in poorly-thought-out knee-jerk reactionary rules.
