Can the ncaa really punish penn st football program for harboring a predator or any other acts involving sandusky? Not asking if they should because I know how ****** everyone is, but CAN the ncaa do anything?
I don't believe so unless one of the boys went on to receive a scholarship to play for Penn State in some capacity.

Even if there are no NCAA sanctions against PSU, there is still a very real possibility that PSU suffers financially from litigation in a really big way.
The NCAA regulates fair athletic competition between universities. They impose penalties on schools whose behavior gives then an unfair competitive advantage. Did PSU do this to gain a competitive advantage?
by covering this up, it kept Paterno and PSU at the top of the heap for many, many years. after paterno found out about it initially, and nothing was done, then he was in cover-mode to protect his backside from legal action.
so in a round about way, yes.
PSU will get hammered by civil lawsuits.
