- And one in every class. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 24, 11:59 3

Are other media guys thinking the NCAA overstepped yesterday? - Will Hunting Jul 24, 11:39 33

    - Oh sure...there's that. My concern, for the current players though...they're still kinda screwed. - Jim Jul 24, 11:56 2

        put them on a schedule so they're all rotated out over the next 2 years, rather than all at once. -- nm - znufrii Jul 24, 11:53 1

  - no one lost a scholarship. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 12:05
  - They penalize 10 guys a year from the privilege of going to PSU ... they took care of the current kids great. - Will Hunting Jul 24, 11:42 5
    - anyone applying to there will be doing so because they know they are on the bubble or just not good enough elsewhere -- nm - zork Jul 24, 11:51 3
      - Or maybe, just maybe, because Penn State has an academic program they really want to get into. -- nm - mara Jul 24, 12:05 2
        
        Then, join up and take your beatings on the field like the bottom feeders of the NCAAFB world do. - Will Hunting Jul 24, 12:12
        
        I'm too jaded to think that kids are applying to top athletic programs for the actual education - zork Jul 24, 12:09

  - and I was reading the $60 mill fine comes out of the university and not the sports program -- nm - Remlik Jul 24, 11:41 1
