The coach sanctioned child rape won't run him off but by god if they ever become a semi-pro team he's out of there.

There is another one in that thread that honestly questions Urban/OSU putting guys into the NFL.

EDIT:
You want some real fun check this thread out. Nothing to do with OSU but man oh man.

I saw that the other day. As with most things on there, with their stupid nicknames and assumptions that everybody already knows what they're all talking about, it's impossible to follow.

1) The general tenor of the thread is this: The only reason that Ohio State out-recruits Penn State is "cheating". In other words, Ohio State and Penn State would be equally attractive options for a recruit but for Ohio State's "cheating". However, no one in the thread promotes Penn State as an attractive option for a recruit (unless being "Northwestern Lite" is somehow supposed to be attractive).

2) According to Rivals, Ohio State has the #2 recruiting class in the country (a few points behind Alabama), and the highest average star ranking (4.06* per recruit). Penn State is 21st, just behind Rutgers (#20), and just ahead of Maryland (#22) and Iowa (#23). If Penn State is having difficulty out-recruiting Rutgers and Maryland, then they have no chance of competing with Ohio State for recruits, cheating or no cheating.

3) Penn State just doesn't have much to offer outside of Joe Paterno's sketchy legacy and a couple of national championships that people under age 50 would have difficulty remembering clearly. They are a scandal-ridden regional program located in the middle of nowhere, with a head coach who has a rather bizarre personality and very little game day prowess.

Penn State doesn't have a great record of putting players into the NFL. Penn State has had just four first round draftees since 2004 (Ohio State has 21) and none since 2010 (the past six drafts); Ohio State also leads in total draftees during that period, 81 to 48.

Penn State doesn't win big games. Their last notable victory came way back in 2008 when they upset Ohio State in Columbus.

Penn State's last major bowl victory was in the 2006 Orange Bowl (2005 season) over Florida State. Ohio State has six major bowl victories and a national championship since 2005.

That Florida State team was the worst "BCS team" there had ever been at that time.

Penn State requires perfect ACTs or SATs just to get onto the football team. Ohio State players need to cheat just to become eligible.
Penn State players take real classes. Ohio State players need to take classes like Coloring, Walking and Chewing Gum, and Shoe Tying just to remain eligible.
Penn State players have never had a disciplinary issue. Ever. Ohio State players should allbe in jail.
Penn State players are model citizens. Ohio State players are all low-life scums who would be dead or in jail if it weren't for football.

Culture problem. Ha!

Ok, let's say that's all true. How come Penn State can't out-recruit Rutgers?

I'd give that Honor to 2004 Pitt.
Not that we're talking about it, but the #3 and #4 worst BCS teams played each other in the 2012 Sugar Bowl (2011 season). Michigan vs. Virginia Tech. Congrats, Michigan, for winning that game and staying out of the top 3.

I love how they can reconcile believing that the entire university leadership, their BOT, President and AD, are all evil and don't give a damn about the University or Success With Honor while also believing that their football program is still as pure as driven snow.

Because the hand of St. Joesus still guides them down the path of rightousness with grace and humility. Sheeesh Ord..... I thought you knew that!
