Penn State football will come back in glory.
You forgot your /s tag.
and it will have a lot more fans than before.
Good. Go Penn State! You will survive this. Just keep your heads up. The football players were made the scapegoat which is just horrible. The right man is in jail. This story should go away now. I am not sure if some of the kids will sue but if they do good luck. Most Pennsylvanians are for Penn State.

Good observation. The collective mass punishment of people having no connection with a crime is a typical leftist response.

...actually, it is typical of punishment doled out by the NCAA, since bad behavior isn’t uncovered until after the fact, and the NCAA, being the oversight arm of a loose confederation of voluntary signees, is encumbered with the need to discipline those straying signees who have misbehaved...by the way, the NCAA is not subject to normal due process strictures, and as I said, the schools are voluntarily members of the organization...they can quit anytime they want...
...the response to the PSU situation has absolutely nothing to do with the usual political right-left divides...the NCAA is hardly acting in some left wing group think witch hunt, but dealing with punishment of a voluntary member organization after the fact...if you can think of a better way to dole out punishment by an offending member, please notify the NCAA post haste, so that punishment does not have to be retroactive...but for now, there is no other way to administer it, other than to do nothing at all...
...just ask the USC players who haven’t played in a bowl game because of something Reggie Bush did when they were in high school, or, better yet, the many players at SMU who never got to play at all, becasue of a prior slush fund operation from which they never received a red cent...
The football players were made the scapegoat which is just horrible...
...what nonsense...these football players were offered an extremely rare opportunity to play elsewhere with no strings attached...a situation open to all of them, if they do not take it, then that decision is their own...
...you really need to look up the meaning of the term scapegoating....
