Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

My alumni tix this year were vs Ped State. On the way home I was thinking a 31-pt beatdown was good enough. But then I read their fans' posts.

They are the worst fans in America by a long shot. A sad pathetic bunch that needs to be repeatedly kicked in the balls until they lose all feeling.

And that simmons or whatever from one of those links: I wonder why he uses his pic in his avatar? That coupled with his posting sensibility makes me think he is a pathetic fat pussy who lives in his mother's basement

The dumbass Michigan fans are all over it though.. "Cheaters!", "Time for Urban to fake health issues", etc... Not realizing their team reported minor violations too. :lol:

Not to change the subject (eff Penn State), but I'm guessing that if a team isn't reporting any minor violations, it's because they're covering stuff up. I didn't even bother to see what Ohio State's violations were this year. A few years ago, they had to report that an assistant coach replied to a text message from a recruit. Something like the recruit asked where he's supposed to go, so the assistant coach responded. Apparently, that's not allowed. Minor violation.

If you're reporting that your team didn't do anything like that at all, then there's something you're not reporting.

Cardale attended a Joe Haden Celebrity Softball Tournament, and Braxton tweeted something promoting Advocare products.. :lol: Throw their asses in jail.

There were more, but those were two of the more notable offenses.

I'm pretty pissed off about the whole "Advocare" thing. The NCAA's failed amateurism policies are preventing collegiate athletes from having the same earning opportunities available to other college students. And it's a violation of free speech (and yeah, I know, that's a government-only thing, but still).

Yeah, I agree. NCAA makes billions off these players, some of the rules they have in place to protect that $$$ is absurd.

Braxton isn't being prevented from having the same earning opportunities as other college students. All he has to do is stop accepting all the freebies that go along with being an NCAA scholarship athlete. It's a choice, he and every other athlete are welcome to change theirs at any time.

Any other tOSU student is entitled to tweet their allegiance to a product with impunity. And they can sell products of any kind to other students and the public at large. Scholarship athletes are prevented by the NCAA from doing these things, and it's a travesty.

You're simply wrong in claiming athletes on scholarship have the same "earning opportunities" as other students. They are extremely limited, whereas their coaches pull down salaries of $6 million or more. It's shameful.

True, any other person with any scholarship can sell anything.

None of those other kids have boosters willing to pay large sums of money for their trinkets. Maybe even enough to entice recruits to their schools because they pay so well for such trinkets.

The question of athletes selling their stuff and the inequality of revenue distribution in college sports are different issues. Too often lumped together imo.

No I'm not wrong. They have the same earning potential, they CHOSE for forgo it for the benefits of being Div1 scholarship athletes. In the case of football players like Braxton they are trading it for a much higher earning potential. No one forced him to make that decision.

Like I said Braxton is free to become an Advocare salesman, all he has to do is give up all the free shit he gets in exchange.

The answer is not to open up the field to 'wink wink' $500 an hour jobs cutting lawns by boosters, because that is exactly where we will be again. The answer is professional developmental league for athletes who have no interest in school.

That is not true either. When I was in graduate school the work I did in my field belonged to the University.
