Penn State Scandal Thread

So their 2013 class will only have 5-10 scholarships and 2014-2017 classes will have like 15-20. 5 down a year for 4 years doesn't seem unrecoverable. USC got 10 per year for 3 years?

USC was loaded, and also didn't have tell freshman they would NEVER play in a postseason game.

Usually, vacating wins is a merely symbolic event and folks still consider team “X” as a defending conference champion or streaks remain intact in the consciousness of fans etc.

 

But with the heightened awareness because of Paterno’s record, this will have more traction.

 

So, from a purely parochial and selfish viewpoint, doesn’t this move us up on the all-time wins list ladder?

Apparently the damage isn't done for PSU. The Big Ten will announce its own sanctions at 11am Eastern.

Really? Where did you see that?

what kind of power does the B1G have, like what could we expect?

[teachercd]

You know, it might just be a press conference to talk about what the NCAA did.

Bowl proceeds are split evenly so if PSU is not contributing b/c of ban then they should not share in proceeds. Could also be some adjustment to BTN and other TV revenues.

On a side note, you can pretty much crown Wisconsin the champs in the BIG10 leaders division now.... :/

 

With Penn State and Ohio State in that division (and both under NCAA sanctions), I would suggest the Big10 re-think the name of that division....

IU is only 3 more scandals from a championship game berth.

Jesse Palmer and Lou Holtz make me sick.Nothing but sympathy for Penn St. No mention or sympathy for any of the victims.ESPN and Penn ST, get a F'ing clue.Penn State is getting what they desserve.

Wow this dumbass reporter just said something along the lines of, "did you ever take into consideration how important the wins were to Paterno and THE REPUTATION THIS PROGRAM HAD BEFORE THIS CAME OUT, and the fact that this is their first and only charges with legal standing". What an idiot, what reputation before this came out? That so called "reputation" penn state had before this came out, is GONE

 

Plus it was that reputation that they tried to protect by not reporting Sandusky. NCAA practically said, your reputation is gone. You tried to cover it up, now its gone regardless.

[Creed]

Will a manatory retirement age come out of this? No more coaching past 65/62.

NCAA said bowl ban, I am guessing BIG will ban them from Championship game. Maybe more fines. Like someone else said, PSU wont get any share of bowl revenue

[Omaha-Husker]

Interesting fact that ESPN said. Jo Pa's last win was over Wisconsin in '97 and the starting QB was Mike McQueary.
