Except it's a LIE. The wins were real. They players who played those games, who made those wins, are now punished.
Paterno is dead. It means nothing to him. This is a coverup. Paterno's record should stand so NO ONE forgets what really happened with him, Sandusky, Pedo State and the rest. Now, they hope to quickly burry this scandal for future generations who look at the top coaches.
This is a crime against history, it's an embarrassment to justice and an affront to the players who worked so hard and the victims of Sandusky the culture of corruption at the university.
They cheated. They covered up Sandusky to gain an advantage...which was their image. They were able to bring in players they wouldn't have otherwise brought in because of that image. Just as with recruiting violations where you are able to bring in players that you otherwise would not have gotten.
