GODS and MONSTERS


We are  also :

  • paying SIXTY MILLION dollars ( or one years estimated football revenue to a special child abused fund....
  • not going to a bowl game for four years
  • having a big drop in scholarship for the same four years
  • ANY entering or returning player can avoid the one year penalty and go straight to any other school they want. Anyone on the team that wants to stay and NOT play ( ?!?! ) can do so, and keep their scholarship
  • they will enter a five year probationary period - in which at any time the NCAA can "implement further punishments "
  • you also retro-lost every game you played between 1998 and 2011. Huh? That means your once Sainted JOPA is no longer the winningest division college football coach. That now goes to FSU's Bobby Bowden. ( yeah  )
You know, I am torn. 
Something major had to be done... other than one freak going to jail. I am not sure that hurting the current players and all of the fans is the way to go - but wiser heads than me , I guess.
The thing is  - Penn State did not violate any NCAA rules! Funny thing, they never thought to write down " don't rape little boys". So, this is purely PENN STATE taking this punishment. A shit ton of State and Federal laws , yes. NCAA, no....

Will the faithful show up at BEAVER STADIUM this fall ? Hell yes.. that won't change, if anything they will be more loyal to the guys that stay.
