Well, looking at the graphic on the Big Ten Network, Wisconsin just got handed the Leaders Division for the next couple years. With Ohio State and Penn State ineligible, no way in hell are Indiana, Illinois and Purdue winning the division.

I would think that knowing that a big part of the reason that they continued to be abused (penn st football's importance) being slapped hard would feel pretty good to them JB.Quote:

I honestly don't know what those victims are thinking.Quote:

Yeah but hurting their revenue actually prevents the university from helping the victims even more.Quote:

Damn that new coach must be pissed.
Didn't he leave New England for this job?
Yes he was the OC at NE last year.Quote:

In regards to the death penalty, I think this works

I guess what I should've said was: "the argument could be made that..." You're right though, anyone who speculates as to what this does or doesn't do for the victims is out of line. No one knows what they feel but them.
Yeah figured I'd lighten it up a littleQuote:

I understood what you meant. I was just stating that these were people that were still attending football games and in one case that we know about, attended games with the person that did this to him long after the abuse was done. Assumption here, but they love PSU football and hurting the program doesn't make them feel better.Quote:

I mean no one could have predicted this but certainly they weren't being forthcoming with the possibility of something happening.
Even still were he to leave he would be screwed pretty much like those who would want to transfer this late in the game
Word is he does not have an out in his contract for NCAA sanctions. Not sure if he has some other out that he could use, but as it looks now he is staying with the program for at least a year. He also publicly stated today that he is here for the long term(we'll see).Quote:

He's said that he wants to rebuild the program. I doubt he'll go anywhere.
He has said that he knew something like this was possible, just today again as well. He seems to be saying lots of the right things (not that hard given the circumstances) but time will tell. I've always felt Bill O'Brien was only here for 3 or so years anyways but if he has a decent year this year it may only be 1.Quote:

I can see some FR or SO leaving, but for a JR or SR right now it would be really tough. They still have the option to play here and get a great education (though some would lead you to believe that to not be the case anymore).
All very true.Quote:

Like you said though it is a win-win situation on the surface I would imagine.
Well it definitely will be a true rebuilding project nowQuote:
