Is it fair?

For the last couple of days I have been thinking about the punishment that was handed out to Penn State. On one hand something had to be done to punish the school for their role in the cover up of the child sex abuse incidents at the school. On the other how can you punish kids that had nothing to do with the situation.
I'm all for fining the school like they did but hitting the current players with a four year bowl ban is something that is hard to stomach. So players that where kids when this happened no have to pay for the sins of the past. That Is the one thing that bothers me and always will about this situation.
