CitadelGrad's PSU Bitch thread

Does anyone realize how much power the NCAA is gaining through all of this?

The ironic thing is that one day down the road WHEN the BCS schools split from the NCAA, this will be used as part of their argument for doing so. And that group will include Penn State...

From what I read, PSU officials and Emmert met this week to discuss the sanctions and PSU agreed to them.

Just saw this on Twitter:

No way are both rumors totally true. I can see Penn State meeting with Emmert and agreeing to extremely harsh penalties, but holy s**t, I can't see them agreeing to all that without putting up a legal challenge.

ESPN is reporting now that Penn State has told the NCAA that it will accept any penalties without a legal challenge. Apparently, PSU does not yet know what the penalties will be.

The president, Rod Erickson has vowed to de-emphasize athletics (not just football) and accepting any sanctions is going to help him do it.

If n one knows what the sanctions are how can it be known if they are constitutional?

Dude, Franks Tanks and CitGrad know everything. Don't question them. They're all experts on morality, legality, and NCAA regulations. We're just part of the unenlightened rabble.

And you're an expert on the eating the shit that ESPN feeds you.

That picture was proven to be a fake yesterday afternoon.

15 minutes to go....I think this is going to be live on every friggin channel, website & radio station around here.

4 year Bowl ban
40 scholarships lost over 4 years
$60 mil penalty - money goes to endow victims of child sex abuse
14 seasons of football ('98-'11) all wins vacated (Grambling clause)
Transfer waiver for all current players
5 years probation
and others...

[bonarae]

The sanctions are in:

-$60 million fine along with gross revenue of football program, directed towards children's charities (possibly relating to sexual abuse)
-Four year bowl ban, vacate ALL wins from 1998-2011
-Players can transfer immediately without any penalty regardless of Division of destination school
-Reduction of 10 initial and 20 total scholarships each year for four years
-Five years probation
-Individual sanctions on people involved, and other corrective measures

Holy crap. That's substantial.

What is really the point of vacating the past wins? Really? I'm not sure why the Football team should be punished for the actions of the ball coach. The university as a whole should be punished.

On the bright side, Coastals 2008 season just improved.

[FargoBison]

The point of vacating wins was to wipe Joe Pa's name out of the record books.

O.M.G. INSANE. (but I kinda like it)

You don't know jack. Others on this board have expressed well though out views.

Gagliardi, Robinson and Bowdon are 1, 2, 3 with Paterno dropping under 300 wins.

[EPJr]

1. $60M penalty money to go to victims programs
2. 4 year post season bans
3. Reduce from 25 to 15 football 'ships per year for 4 years
4. Immediately transfer of any FB player who wants to leave w/o waiting period to play for new school
5. Vacate ALL WINS from 1998-2011
6. 5 years probation
7. NCAA formal investigations of individuals involves after criminal investigations are over
8. NCAA quarterly monitoring for 5 years

[clenz]

So......I'm confused to an extent...Does PSU only have 15 football scholarships right now?

298 to be exact

It was clarified during the presser....


PSU is not essentially a 1AA school....65 scholarships for4 years

[Franks Tanks]

I believe they will only be able to give 15 per year, with a total amount somwehere in the mid 60's.

Yep...65. Emmert was asked that just after I asked that question here.


They are an FCS school now.

With 15 scholarships a year they made PSU a Patriot League team.

I think the NCAA did a great job myself - kudos boys.

That's stupid. You can't change the past. And when people, 50 years from now, wonder why PSU had a "losing streak" that spanned 12 years, JoPa will be brought up. That doesn't make sense to me. Let's just put an * by his name and in the footnotes say, "Molesting Fag Enabler."

[tampajag]

Wisconsin division champ by default?

[bluehenbillk]

Ironic twist: PSU's starting QB the last time they "won" a game: Mike McQueary

CAA football-only invite perhaps?

Exactly. If that tweet is even HALF true, the NCAA is DEFINITELY overstepping their bounds. IMO, this is a LE issue, NOT a sports issue. The NCAA should see their way OUT.

You are wrong. It IS a sports issue. It was centered around the football program. Not sure why anyone doesn't think it ISN"t a sports issue.

Mark -

Pedophiles are neither gay nor straight - it is statements like this that are collateral damage.

If he had been raping 10 year old girls, would you say Molesting breeder Enabler?

Back to post - Joe and his family are very arrogant - they wanted the wins record at all cost. It is appropriate to take that from him. While JOe is in hell now, his family gets to suffer some from this, as they should.
