Somewhere Rene Portland is laughing her tail off.
The University did something wrong, so they’re punishing the players??????
Really is Obamaland. :)
Talk about rewriting history.
This Commonwealth of Pennsyltucky is absolutely overrun with JoePa Kool-Aid Drinkers.
We are also a key swing state. Look for King Barry Hussein I to insert himself in this and to attempt to blunt the sanctions in order to curry favor.
Penn state’s biggest enemies now are over-aggressive alumni and donors.
PSU is a state supported intitution. It’ll be interesting to see if they try to get the tsxpayers to pay the fine.
PSU’s BOD & other executives should be paying the fine and losing their jobs.
JoePa makes a convenient figurehead (just as he did in more halcyon days), but there are many at PSU who made (and are still making) plenty of money and are probably even more culpable.
There are some professions that provide opportunities for perverts. Coaching is one of them. It’s why the Boy Scouts are fighting to maintain the integrity of its leaders.
I would not be surprised if you find at least one pervert on every coaching staff from the pros right down to the little leagues. I remember more than one sadist, and at least one sexual pervert on coaching staffs when I was in school.
They get away with it because we take sports way too seriously.
This statement can be described as plain STUPID and illogical. Only 30 years of "dumbing down" America can explain how twisted and warped minds connected the dots to justify this kind or rewriting history.
You cannot change the past. Perhaps this group should exhume Mr. Paterno's body and put him in jail. What a bunch!
A couple points here: 1. Barry Switzer said he knew about Sandusky, implication being the entire coaching fraternaty of the US knew which is why Sandusky retired so young. If Barry knew it in Oklahoma there has to be a lot more people in Pennsylvania that knew other than the top four that got fired, as in all the trustees at the very least.
Point 2. The new play-off system gives Notre Dame an incentive to reconsider aligning with the B1G. They could replace PSU and solve a big problem for the B1G Ten. PSU will not be competitive for a long, long time.

For later read.
Not quite what I expected.
My daughter is interested in Penn State. Maybe the tuition will go down.
Not strong enough.....$60 million is one year of income from football. The death penalty would be more fitting. SMU paid some players and got the death penalty. This bunch at Penn State KNEW about children being molested and said and did nothing so their coach could get a record.
My question is who in the NCAA had prior knowledge of this, heard the scuttle and did nothing as well—like report what they heard to police?
Big Ten just said the PSU cannot share in Bowl Revenues.
They are done in the Big Ten, IMHO....actually the Big East probably would take them.
Now time to Move on to Indiana University Bloomington and Get sanctions on University whose Professor and Part time IU Badminton Coach was a Self Confessed Pedophile of Boy scouts while camping.He was the #13 Eagle Scout in Existence. He also wrote about Sex and wrote a study where one Part documented over 300 Plus cases of pedophilia sodomy or Masturbation and categorized them by age groups starting with <6 months old. His study was called Human sexuality of the Male and he was the Father of the Sexual Revolution His name ALFRED Kinsey. NCAA begin the sanctions!
I have a hunch tuition costs are going to suddenly skyrocket. They have to rip the 60 million out of someones hide.
