“This scandal has shown the N.C.A.A. that it needs to address the culture of protection and secrecy that prevails in college athletics,” writes Billy Hawkins, associate professor and coordinator of UGA’s sport management program, about the Penn State University scandal involving former coach Jerry Sandusky in the “Room for Debate” op/ed feature in the July 16 New York Times.
