From the article: UNIVERSITY PARK — Penn State’s 2013 recruiting class lost one of its commitments on Saturday.

Good news. Good example. Other recruits should follow in the de-commitment process.

(Now we’ll see which Penn State fans have the moral courage to start “de-committing” on their season tickets...and begin making a statement that deifiying sports and personality cults and public-relations-at-all-expense have risen to the idolatry stage...and some distancing/separation needs to begin)

Wow so he switched from PSU and all their problems to the biggest purveyors of academic fraud in the NCAA....

Haven’t read the article yet, but it occurred to me that other victims of this scandal are players who applied to Penn, and got football scholarships. There ain’t gonna be no football there for a while. Sure,,,, they can apply to other colleges, but it’s almost August, those scholarships are already filled out. They should be able to apply to other schools, and,,,,, PENN STATE SHOULD PAY FOR THEIR FOOTBALL SCHOLARSHIPS!

“6-foot-1,295-pound defensive tackle”

That’s a big boy.

Like rats deserting a sinking ship except I don’t really think of them as rats.

Survivors is more like it.

It is a shame to see what is happening at PSU. Never a big fan but certainly respectful of the athletes that played there. Paterno is no longer a respected name and this should be quite a wake-up to all NCAA programs nationwide.

Re: From Joe Paterno statue taken down: "The Paterno family issued a statement only hours later saying the statue's removal "does not serve the victims of Jerry Sandusky's horrible crimes or help heal the Penn State community."

Well, PAPA Joe's cover up of Jerry Sandusky's actions allowed additional young boys to be served up to Jerry's sexual abuse... so chew on that, Paterno family--

I think its very sad what has happened and what is going to probably happen to the mighty Penn state football tradition....

many great players and men from that program...all destroyed by the selfishness and arrongance of Sandusky and those who sought to give him a wink and a nod and to cover it up...and I'm not at all totally believing that Paterno had much of a role...

no one seriously believes that other universities aren't engaging in similar practices?....football is a god to so many out there ...

Greg Webb, if you’re reading this, please contact Coach Jerry Kill at the University of Minnesota!

The U of M is slowly trying to rebuild their program. if you’re as good as your ratings indicate, you’ll likely start right away. No sitting on the bench for you! You’ll move right to the front of the line!

C’mon, give Coach Kill a call!
