    Even though both universities are involved in sexual assault scandals, when comparing both Penn State and Baylor university's cases I came to the conclusion that there should be a difference in disciplinary action. Reviewing Penn State scandal, on November 4, 2011, a grand jury report was released containing testimony that former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky sexually abused eight young boys over a period of at least 15 years. On July 23, 2012, The NCAA announces a $60 million fine against Penn State and bans the team from the post season for four years. Additionally, the school must vacate all wins from 1998-2011, and will lose 20 football scholarships a year for four seasons. It is unfair that the victims had ,for many year, been ignored by the school and the law, but the action taken by NCAA at the time were over the line.…

The level of animosity with which I skated glaring difference a conspicuous difference to the conventional style of the time which was still based around traps figured in the 1960s. Me and the other Z-Boys were among the first to bring skating vacant pools into the standard. In these early days, it was noticed that I hit the lip so hard that i got air, consequently I'm frequently credited for the initially recorded aerials, a frontside air, in spite of the fact that I asserted that George Orton was the first to perform aerials. As reggae music washed over us, I pondered how frequently in my life I've had been in the very same circumstance.…
