Let the healing begin.
Tough. I'm not a big fan of vacating the wins. Those players didn't have anything to do with what Sandusky and company did. But it could've been worse.

 

Could have been much worse.

 

Shot, at least the community will not take that big of a hit. I still don't get the vacating of the wins. I really don't think its fair.

 

I would have liked the death penalty, but I'm glad the NCAA came down on PSU hard on them anyways.

 

I believe that means a whole lot less than you do. People are not going to remember the NCAA record book. They're going to remember the games.

 

Vacating the wins seems silly to me.

 

That's what I think, too. "Vacating" wins is always a ridiculous penalty to me, whether it's Coach Cal or Paterno. Silliness. What happened happened.

 

I hear ya. Lots of puff questions asked at the presser.

 

One last thing regarding the vacating of victories: That was what Joe Paterno deserved, more than anything.

 

Yep. Throw the dead man under the bus.

 

The man brought the bus down upon himself before he died, Drip.
