Penn State is the one team no bowl wants to invite
CBS Sports ^ | November 15, 2011 | Brett McMurphy

Penn State is toxic.

Those aren't my words, but someone involved in the college bowl selection process. And that's how he described how attractive -- or, in this case, unattractive -- the Nittany Lions are as a bowl team.

The Big Ten has eight bowl bids and could end up with 10 bowl-eligible teams. If the Nittany Lions (8-2) don't reach the Big Ten title game, it's a very real possibility they could get bypassed by all of the Big Ten bowls and be shipped to a non-Big Ten bowl that doesn't have enough teams to fill its conference obligation.

"And do you think that bowl will be thrilled?" a college football industry source said. "It's like finding out your daughter is dating Tiger Woods. What do you say: uh, congratulations?"

If the Nittany Lions win the Leaders Division -- they'll likely need a win at Wisconsin on Nov. 26 to do so -- they cannot drop any lower than the Gator Bowl, which has the Big Ten's fifth selection, according to the league's bylaws. However, if Penn State doesn't win the its division, it is treated like any other Big Ten bowl-eligible team and must wait to be selected by one of the league's bowls.

That could be a long wait.

"I can't see someone eager to take them," a bowl official said. "I don't think you want that story on your hands. When you bring a bowl team to your community, you want warm, fuzzy stories about student athletes. You don't want what's going on there."

Penn State should have already announced it will not be participating in a Bowl game this year.

Penn state needs to play its last little game, release the players and take their 5 year suspension, end of problem. Maybe someone will put up a sign no one allowed to take showers with little kids and molest them. Seems they do not know that at pedf state.

The teams would just consist of tight ends and wide receivers.

Penn State has the attitude that there is nothing going on, why all the fuss!

The very same indifferent attitude that got them into this situation.

Line of the day.

True dat! And since they did not and the B10 has not done anything, I am now rooting for them to win the B10 Championship and make it to the Rose Bowl.

I was pondering this yesterday:

I sure hope the charges against Sandusky are true because otherwise, many an institution and individual will of been ruined for nothing.

“Racist” is a stretch. Obviously they are referring to Mr Woods promiscuous sex life, not his race.

I was thinking about it, too, the other day when they were reporting that sponsors were withdrawing for last weekends game??

How many people were involved with this? Was the whole football team involved? Were all the students involved? Were all the faculty involved? Go after the people that were involved. Why penalize or punish all those that weren't? jmo
