"Unprecedented" penalties against Penn State

Featured Replies

Pretty sure it's 20 per year.

 

Could be. I saw it on twitter as 20 over a 4 year period but that person could be wrong.

From every UK fan's favorite journalist....Pete Thamel......

 

 

The postseason ban and the scholarship restrictions essentially prevent the program from fielding a team that can be competitive in the Big Ten. The N.C.A.A. will also allow Penn State players to transfer to another university, where they can play immediately, inviting the possibility of a mass exodus. Penn State will lose 10 initial scholarships and 20 total scholarships each year for a four-year period.

 

 

Is that a total of 90? Am I reading that right?

I'm confused on how many scholarships are actually lost. And what does the ten initial but twenty a year actually mean?

Quick.........somebody send an email, twitter, shout-out, etc to all Penn State players. University of Kentucky is in need of football players.....all positions....immediate playing time available!!!

Don't know. I was thinking 10 off the top and then 20 a year for the next four years following.

They should have had the Big Blue caravan sitting outside the football dorm at PSU set up to help players fill out their transfer papers.

I think it was cleared as saying 10 per year but the most you can have on scholly is 65 total each year.

Penn State gets four year bowl ban.

 

Vacates all wins from 1998-2011. Paterno is no longer the all time leader in wins. (Bravo NCAA) He lost 111 wins. Now sits at 298.

 

Fined $60 Million.

Players can transfer immediately.

 

This means UK just won the 1999 outback Bowl!

No they didn't....

If the Big Ten takes their TV deal away for any amount of time, this may be equivalent to the death penalty for 1 year.

I understand all the penalties except vacating the wins. There was no competitive advantage. I am glad they got hit hard and they should be ashamed of what happened but still not sure about the wins taken away.

I thought maybe it was Bobby Bowden's head and ego getting three times bigger.

 

I'm guessing he just cracked open the champagne 72 Dolphins style

Vacating the wins I think was in no small part about damaging Paterno's legacy. It also represents every win that the program had after the point in time where they decided the football program needed to be protected above the interests of Sandusky's present and future victims.

Have heard it called the coma penalty...
