For the record I Understand the Fine, as long as the NCAA uses the money to help victims, but Bowl Ban, Transfers, and Forcing even more kids to have to pay for college or not go is just flat out wrong.

Which is why they should have to move those scholarships into the academic scholarship pool so kids who can actually get into a school like PSU but can't afford to go have a chance at getting an education.

I hope you are saying that there is nothing to be done so complaining about it wont help, rather than Penn State deserved even 1/8th what they got...

PSU got bent over by the NCAA, many programs have including my beloved Hoosiers in the not too distant past. You take it like a man and it makes your rise back to prominence that much sweeter.

The guys on scholarship won't lose their schollys. That was why it is being eased in. Overall, 40 scholarships will not be given out to people who may have earned them. Nobody currently on scholarship will lose one.

What is your point.

Let me add this: Of the 40 who WOULD have received scholarships to play football, NONE will have to pay for college. If they would be good enough to play for Penn State, then they are good enough to play elsewhere.

We already have an excellent GPA as a team, it will probably be in the top 1% now that we won't have any athletes anymore...

You are right, but what about the players who spot they will take on the new team? It trickles down.

The fact that Penn St can't pull the scholly of a slacker is significant as well. As long as they remain academically eligible, they're good to go.

The effects of that are less than 1/3rd of a player per team spread across the entirety of FBS football.

It's impact gets smaller and smaller once it trickles down to FCS and below.

Is that part of the punishment?

It was part of the sanctions. All those who stay and are currently on scholly get to keep them.

I dont think colleges lower than Div1aa give scholarships though I could be mistaken.

Penn State is a top school, that recruits locally. Kids that cant go to Penn State will not end up at SDSU just because they are willing to give a scholarship. They are more likely to pay their own way to Penn State and walk on.

I agree with this. That is why some top recruits tweeted on Sunday that they would be sticking by Penn State (can't blame them if they change their minds after today). It's not as simple as just choosing another school.

LMAO!!!
Hypothetical Question: So if they just recruited a Child molester, unknowingly, they cant release him until he molests a child? Can they even release him then? I doubt the NCAA would force Penn State to keep a Criminal...

Stuff like this has so many unseen consequences that only Vindictive people punish like this...
