And this. Momentum is building for the shutdown. Everyday brings a new chorus of demands.

NCAA should allow Penn State players to transfer without restrictions, an advocacy group says

Tue, Jul 17, 2012 10:43 PM EDT

A student-athlete advocacy group has asked the NCAA to lift all transfer restrictions for Penn State football players, allowing them to switch schools without penalty. The request comes in the wake of the school-funded Freeh Commission concluding that administrators and coaches helped conceal the Jerry Sandusky sexual molestation scandal.

The request would allow any Penn State player to become immediately eligible to play at any other program and still receive a full scholarship. It would also allow other schools to communicate with players about potential transfers. NCAA rules stipulate a player on scholarship who transfers must sit out one year before becoming eligible.

Former UCLA linebacker Ramogi Huma is the president of the National College Players Association. (AP) Citing "an apparent cover-up by Penn State officials" of Sandusky's crimes over a decade, Ramogi Huma, the president of the California-based National College Players Association, called for the NCAA to remember current student-athletes are innocent bystanders in this case.

"While Penn State coaches and administrators have been implicated in heinous activities, Penn State football players have done nothing wrong," Huma wrote in a letter to NCAA president Mark Emmert dated Tuesday.

Not sure that move is warranted at this point in time but I wouldn't mind it since it would set a precedent about current athletes being innocent bystanders ... for the next time a coach handcuffs a program and then skips town.

They're acting very quickly on PSU compared to UM.
