And playing football games does that, how?

It's embarrassing, but not all of us are like that.

I can hardly stand to read my Facebook feed sometimes with all the truther nonsense perpetuated by some alums. That being said, I am happy for current players, coaches and students that the ncaa has made this decision.

I'm so happy for them too. And can I say I love Hackenberg?

I'm glad to see that things are looking better for Penn State on so many fronts. I took my older son to the Spend a Summer Day program a couple years ago and it turned out that that was the day following the release of the Freeh report. I had a hard time summoning some enthusiasm. But I've been happy to see PSU focus on its academic and research achievements and opportunities since then. In fact, I took my younger son to Spend a Summer Day just 2 months ago and it was by far the best time investment wrt college tours. He may find a home there eventually, and we would be happy to see him attend Penn State---except for the cost aspect, that is, since we are out-of-state!

Take comfort in knowing Joe is burning in hell right now. Probably still doing the same old clueless old man gimmick.

Jesus Christ! They were covering for and enabling a child rapist
for DECADES.

And the people who were implicated in the cover up are gone.

They turned over a police car. It doesn't matter if those responsible are gone - the institution allowed it and should continue to be punished.

This is ridiculous

Bowl bans, scholarship reductions, etc...

...And they're still punished with less scholarships. No reductions in sanctions.

Meanwhile a coach @ PennState rapes a bunch of kids and the school knew about it....sanctions gone!!!

Great message!!

ONLY THE PRESIDENT DID.

I am not minimizing Sandusky's crimes, but they involved the law, not NCAA by-laws.

because it violated their standards clause, which they said was why they accepted the report. Now they're caving into big money pressure, as always.

but looking back now USC and Ohio State (my team) seem minuscule.

Good thing PSU was only covering up decades of child abuse.

They have a whole new set of players, Joe is dead, Sandusky is in prison, they have a new President and Athletic Director. Why punish people that had no involvement in the past problems?

The current players and coaching staff had and have nothing to do with the previous corrupt regime. The Augean Stables were thoroughly mucked out. Sandusky will never be a free man again and Paterno's deader than Dillinger.

Banned from running ENTIRELY.

Fuck you, NCAA.

Smell the "moving toward the common goal" of the green stuff.

I grew up in Pennsylvania and many friends and family are alumni. I graduated from Florida State and George Washington. They are on to victory again. Although FSU is number 1!!!!!!! Go Noles!!!!!!


Keep in mind, all the actors from that storied past are gone! No use continuing to punishing the innocents.

the NCAA wants a B1G team in the first ever football playoffs. Welcome back Penn State! Bingo!

PSU '71, and proud of it!

They were much much younger than that...ridiculous.

Can't wait for my alma mater to beat them this month

Now, Notre Dame or Miami, .....


Or is one allowed to trash-talk only against Penn State? Ha!
