I'm unclear on who is being punished.

The players? They have the option to switch schools without penalty, they get to play day one, they get to keep their scholarships. They still have their regular season. Bowl games are no guarantee for any team during any season.

The coaching staff? They still have their regular season. Bowl games are no guarantee for any team during any season.


The students? They still have their regular season. Bowl games are no guarantee for any team during any season.

Now I've heard it will hurt local businesses. How? They still have the regular season. I think attendance would be hurt by people not wanting to support an institution that let these heinous acts occur more so than because they were sanctioned.
