That's easier said than done. You have A LOT of businesses that rely on those football games. Especially in State College, PA. Shutting down the football program is ONLY going to hurt those businesses. The coach is gone, the AD is gone, the President is gone. What's shutting down the football program going to accomplish? Besides punishing people who had nothing to do with this scandal.

Sounds like the same mindset that allowed kiddie rape to go on for 10 years

But there are NCAA rules that prohibit football players receiving those things. As far as I can tell, there aren't any NCAA rules that require coaches/ad's etc... to report criminal activity to the police. I am sure the NCAA would love to hammer Penn State for this, but I don't think the NCAA is able to just arbitrarily punish Penn State because they want to. There has to be an actual NCAA rule that was broken.

Besides, by the time the Lawsuits are over, Penn State might not be able to afford to field a football team.

so you're saying since there's no rule against buttfuging a minor, ncaa shouldn't have jurisdiction.

Got it.

Why doesn't it? They didn't want any negative consequences to befall their program which is why they kept this quiet.

Same mindset.

because the money it brings to the community with beer stores, book stores, parking, hotel, blah blah blah is kinda sorta important.

don't punish those businesses for this poo. it's no where near the same mindset...

Okay, what does shutting down the football program going to accomplish? Did cheating and law breaking in college football stop when they shut down SMU?

Wait so there are other colleges programs that are secretly hiding kiddie rape factories within it's walls?????

I could see your point it this whole child rape scenario was going on at every campus. It doesn't ...that's why this needs to happen.

But I guess their program is worth 20 child rapes. Glad you can put a price on it.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
