Couple things.
If you're a Penn State fan, it is the wrong decision to stop watching the team. Don't turn your back on that roster like the administration and the NCAA just did. Cheer your hearts out, but I for one will never purchase another Penn State shirt/hat/anything until that administration is totally removed.
As for college football in general, I've been slowly getting to the point where I was ashamed of myself for so furiously following a sport that was so biased and unfair to begin with, and even the upcoming playoff idea is not enough. I'm tired of the good old boys network that is doing everything possible to keep historically-strong programs at the top and trying desperately to counteract the 85 schollies that all D-1A schools now possess. 4 teams is not enough. It has to be 8, if not 16. It is isn't fair, the NCAA has been a joke since inception w/ their mythical national champions, and I'm sick of it. I'm just sick of it. I'm tired of the idiotic decisions such as retroactively accepting someone's opinion as the end-all, and they are doing it now w/ this Freeh report. How do you accept a report as fact when none of the people involved were ever interviewed by the guy?
The Penn State Administration should be ashamed of themselves in how everything has been handled since November. Basically, this administration has been a nightmare since at least 1998. In all seriousness, if you are not alumni, how can you even justify supporting Penn State?
Mark May is shameful. This continued nonsense about "winning at all costs" is shameful corresponding. He knows that was never the case w/ Joe Paterno. Joe was never a saint, he's obviously guilty for the Sandusky stuff, but don't make up things to dogpile. You have plenty to already degrade the guy about.
I'd be surprised if any of the kids transferred, but I think there will be 80% decommitments by this evening.
As I said, root for the kids, support O'Brien, but do not allow yourself to make Penn State purchases that will do nothing but help them fund this $60m they now owe. If you want to buy a Penn State shirt, donate the money to a sex abuse charity independently of Penn State's own contributions.
