Ignorance or Reality??? @hound… playing behind a mostly second string ‘starting team’ should do the trick. Bowl appearance = regular season success. PSU won’t have either. That’s the reality these...

@polejam, I have been very critical of Penn State and believe it will take some time to distance themselves from the scandal. However, these recruits knew of the problems at Penn State before...

@tarheel This is the way the NCAA works, just look at the reggie bush case. It was an institutional failure at PSU, that was covered up to protect the football program which became larger then the...

Also lets not forget that these players that choose to stay are going to get the same if not more national coverage each week, and will always be remember in PSU’s history. So if the QB and the RB want...

Yes Tru – that’s my point and I agree with the r-e-s-p-e-c-t you mention. Loyalty is noble… but I don’t believe that’s the issue here. It’s simply a ‘decision’ to stay or not. For me anyway – to say...
