July 23, 201214 yr I am not in favor of giving Conference Commissioners that type of authority. Agreed. Can't have a conference commish firing coaches, especially if they aren't doing the hiring, too.
July 23, 201214 yr They absolutely will. It's tough enough punishing the people that had nothing to do with it in the football program but then you'd be punishing all sports. I understand what you're saying about punishing the inocent. I guess I would ask, "Is Penn St a liability to the Big Ten?" "Do they tarnish other Big Ten schools?" "If the belief is that they tarnish the Big Ten and it's members, aren't you punishing inocent people by not kicking them out?" I haven't chosen a side on this yet, just asking questions.

IMO, that's a stretch. Just my opinion.
July 23, 201214 yr IMO, that's a stretch. Just my opinion. I don't disagree that it's a stretch. Here's another one. "Are they a financial liability to the conference?" Who ever is playing them is probably not going to be televised. Meaning no TV revenue when you play PSU. As a member school, do you want to take that hit? We all know money rules.
