Thought this was pretty interesting:

Crunching the numbers on Penn State and scholarships. They likely won't be back to 85 scholarships until 2020. Think about that.

Delany: We were waiting to see if there'd be a TV ban. We didn't feel the need to limit television in light of the other sanctions.

Translation: We weren't going to take inventory away from BTN unless the NCAA said we had to.

Yes, that was a big cop out. Lack of a TV ban is my main problem. And no, I don't care if it meant one Ohio State game a year that I would miss.

Right. That means the kids that will make up their next full team are currently in the 4th grade.

I'm not surprised in the least by it. There's a definite conflict of interest there on the part of the conference when it comes to that kind of sanction.

If anything the BTN stands to profit a little from this. Since Penn State football is going to suck for the forseeable future, most if not all of their games are going to end up on BTN. They'll be Indiana, but with more eyeballs.

That in itself is a bit of a penalty, what with their limited distribution and shoddy production.

Fuck off, Barry. And learn the difference between their and there, you illiterate jackass.

Okay guys. You maybe aren't as familiar with Barry as we here in Lincoln are, but lemme help you...

Barry Switzer was Pete Carroll before Pete Carroll.

The only reason why he's talking is because he's just as shady as Paterno ever was, and he left before the hammer really fell.

NORMAN, OK - It's been twenty years since Barry Switzer resigned as head football coach at the University of Oklahoma.

It's an anniversary many people don't care to observe.

He made his announcement official on June 19, 1989. It was a bittersweet ending for Switzer, leaving the program as its most successful coach with three national championships and twelve Big 8 titles.

His legacy also included a turbulent final year. The program was put on probation for three years and several players were arrested.

This piece is not reflective, but rather the unraveling of events leading up to Switzer's resignation.

It includes the off-the-field troubles that would end up plaguing the Sooners for many years as well as a 1988 season that ended in a disappointing Citrus Bowl loss.

Martinez will leave Nebraska with nearly all of the major QB records in his pocket. Not exactly someone to bag on because his throwing motion is ugly.
