Why Did The NCAA Rely On The Freeh Report To Punish Penn State? By Travis Waldron July 27, 2012 at 4:02 pm Think Progress http://thinkprogress.org/alyssa/2012/07/27/599511/ why-did-the-ncaa-rely-on-the-freeh-report-to-punish-penn-state/ . A shorter URL for the above link: . http://tinyurl.com/cm53vkk . .That the NCAA relied heavily on the report produced by former FBI director Louis Freeh and his team to level the Penn State football program earlier this week is hardly a shock or a secret the report, as NCAA president Mark Emmert said, was vastly more involved and thorough than any investigation weve ever conducted.
.But the Freeh Report, commissioned by Penn States Board of Trustees, was never meant to investigate whether the football program violated NCAA rules, according to a source from Freehs team reached by the Chronicle of Higher Education.
.The Freeh Report, the source said, was an investigation into how Penn State operated, not how they worked within the NCAAs system, and it was not meant to be used as the sole piece, or the large piece, of the NCAAs decision-making. Instead, the source said, the report was meant to be a mechanism to help Penn State move forward. To be used otherwise creates an obstacle to the institution changing.
. snip .For whatever reason, though, the only organization to have punished Penn State thus far did not conduct its own investigation and instead relied on a document we now know was used outside its stated purpose. Thats a step that, frankly, does absolutely nothing to dispel the notion that the NCAA has overstepped its legal bounds to hand down a punishment because it felt it had to do something and because, with football season just weeks away, doing nothing might have seemed like an abdication of its duties, even if that something ignored its own role in the creation and fostering of the culture it says it wants to change.
