Anyone know what's going on and if so, any thoughts?
I know what happened, I was just wondering whether Im the only College Football fan here (go gators).
Personally, I think that the board of trustees were 100% correct in their decision, despite his legacy. In fact, his act of omission was made all the worse, because as the legendary face of penn st, he would have easily had an investigation instigated at his behest at any time.
NCAA has very strict rules (colleges can't even fly parents out to watch games), and Joe Pat is all his time has never been accused of breaking a single rule, but when dealing with something so hideous, his decision to both save face, and save the program rather than putting innocent lives ahead deserves to tarnish his reputation.
Who?
Agree. Too many "long term" coaches get comfortable and consider themselves untouchable. This is a wake up call to all now that you can't afford to get complacent and nor can you put the programme before everything

he had to go, but it's just another black mark against the big ten, who were for a long time the premier conference in terms of academic standard of their scholarship athletes and quality of the instutitions...
first ohio state, and now this
just another reason why the sec will continue to rule the roost... i say this in a negative tone since the SEC are massive cheaters
penn st were having a really good season as well; but he had to go, no doubt about it
Edit/ps. - Did anyone else flick from the LSU/Bama game to the Kansas St/Oklahoma St game? My god that was a cracker.
Based purely athletically, the Big 10, or any other conference is no match. Whoever LSU gets in the BCS game will be destroyed. As has been the case for the last 5 years (auburn didnt destroy last year, but look at UF/Ohio State - massacre).
We seem to have gotten away from the initial point, a Catholic Church-style fudge on pre-pubescent buggery, and on to college football in general. Could someone explain the attraction of this monumentally tedious 'sport' to me? (Be warned, my Yank cousins have tried, and failed.)
