Fuck donation thats a write off for them. Make it so they cannot claim it as a write off. Also in addition to the forfeiture of the bowl wins, they also need to include the regular season wins from at least 2002

They don't need write offs, they are a non-profit.

Here's what seems appropriate to me.

* Kick them out of the NCAA, with the option to reapply in 3-5 years, with a thorough review of their internal processes and interviews with decision-makers.

* Let kids who transfer out play immediately at their new schools.

* Schools scheduled to play them this season could still do so, I guess, if they wanted to deal with the potential for incredible mayhem. Not sure what else they could figure out, or how you would count those games.

* End the whole thing with a chant of WE WERE...

The NCAA could adopt a "Hawaii" type rule that would allow teams a 13th game if they played a team that had "lost" their game with PSU. There are plenty of bye weeks out there.

They could also give the Big Ten a pass on the 12 team rule for a playoff. Everybody in Leaders loses a game - so that works out. NU and Nebraska would be the only teams in Legends to play one less. Ugly, but doable.

Then again, I suppose my cart should wait for the horse.

Haven't seen this angle before, but I guess the faculty has been added to the Ped State enemies list.

Re: CBS report on sanctions

Exactly correct. They gave all the power to NCAA by sanctioning report and worse yet giving Freeh rein to opine and not just report facts. I am sure every prof who hated the football team creamed them in interviews, giving their opinions too based on little fact.

So, basically everyone in the entire university, except for 2 new BOT members, are complicit in the tearing down of the most honest, ethical, and humble man that was Il Pa Joe.


Holy shit. As soon as I think I have seen it all from these loonies, they come hard with another big order of tin-foil for their fedora factory.

Seeing lots of speculation on sanctions, but none with any authority.

However, the more I think about it a bowl ban of 5 years or longer would be pretty substantial. That effectively kills recruiting for at least two years - probably three. Without the beaches and blondes PSU will never come charging back the way USC has. If that were the approach you would also need to extend the "free transfer" offer through next summer to give kids real options - maybe even extending eligibility if they chose to sit this year.

But even with this the culture merely goes into hibernation.


vBet on sanctions?

The NCAA has to do something more than a bowl ban and scholarship reductions, unless those are really drastic. Not letting PSU play for at least a year seems appropriate (in addition to other severe penalties) in order to make a statement that people will remember--there was no 2012 PSU team for a reason. The only way I think scholarship reductions and bowl bans would be enough of a penalty is if the bowl ban were for something like 5-10 years and the scholarship reductions were enough to impose a de facto death penalty -- i.e., something like cutting the number of available scholarships in half.

Totally agreed. They'd better get hit with the Tsar Bomba of NCAA punishment for this ballshiat....

There has to be a television ban. Put a multi-year tv ban in place, and ped aggy will be competing with the Patriot League for recruits.

What I would consider to be a de facto death penalty:

LOIC
5 year probation
4 year bowl ban
15 scholarships a year for four years
3 year television ban
on-site ncaa representatives to oversee compliance and institutional control issues.

No way could that be anyone but Luberano. Publicly, calling the university presidents "pansies" is a sure way to build up their support within the AAU.

I hope they keep it up too. I mean why hold back now...let the NCAA and the other university presidents know EXACTLY how they feel about this process...

:evil:
