People Compare the NCAA to Bane from The Dark Knight Rises


In a Monday morning press conference, NCAA President Mark Emmert listed the sanctions levied against Penn State for the coverup of Jerry Sandusky’s sexual abuse of young boys. The consequences include a $60 million fine, a four-year ban from postseason play, and a reduction of scholarships. But, the Penn State football program avoided the death penalty, prompting a slew of people on the Internets to compare the NCAA to Bane—the villain in The Dark Knight Rises.
