I appreciate your comment.
The comme...Hi Elliot,<br /><br />I appreciate your comment. <br /><br />The comment you made about bowl game sanctions and expunging the wins from Paterno but not the players makes sense. Unfortunately, I don't know how the NCAA governing board works, but I imagine they have their reasons. I don't agree with many of their rules, and they aren't going to listen to my suggestions about what they should change, but they were forced to do something. This is a no win position for anyone. Unfortunately, the players are also victims in this debacle. At least they know they won those games.<br /><br />They also could have given them the Death Penalty and eliminated the football program for one to four years. I'm glad they didn't do that. I think it's going to be a long time before Penn State becomes a football powerhouse again. But it will happen.<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />MikeAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17370252221666384654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277316318931903639.post-81407957296266787512012-07-27T16:16:58.785-05:002012-07-27T16:16:58.785-05:00Hi, Mike!

I also see that the current students and athletes are being punished for what they have not done, and could not have known. So, I agree with the fine, but not with the bowl game sanctions, and not with the voiding of past wins - they could be expunged from Paterno's record without doing so to the players themselves. I would have simply punished the University with the fines and with prohibition entirely of recruitment for 4 years, never mind the scholarships, while allowing current players to seek to join other teams without penalty.<br /> <br />ElliotElliotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1277316318931903639.post-23444259092487323962012-07-26T13:36:32.359-05:002012-07-26T13:36:32.359-05:00Their new fight slogan, "We were, Penn State....Their new fight slogan, "We were, Penn State.

Compared to kids however ...especially the vulnerable ones violated by Sandusky ... sports are meaningless.<br /><br />Great Post!Dougnoreply@blogger.com
