Switzer addresses Penn State situation

Linky

 

Ahem, Barry has never been too, emm, happy with the NCAA.

 

The players (unless they were die-hard PSU fans) aren't penalized. Outside of USC, how many other students from schools hit with major sanctions have been allowed to leave at will with no penalty? Regarding the fans, if they want to be mad, be mad at Paterno, not the NCAA. The NCAA is doing its job - Paterno did not.

 

They are free to go play elsewhere.....Barry is dead wrong.....

 

Yup, Barry missed the mark on this one.

 

Yep, Barry's got a culture problem.

 

I think the National Communists might have gone a little too far IMHO but they DID need to take action.

 

Wonder what the Boz thinks?

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^This^^^^^^^^^^^^

 

"I'm not leaving my kids to the Joe Paternos and Mike McQuearys of the world."

Ol' Barry and Jackie are looking pretty good in comparison these days ...

 

With almost EVERY NCAA punishment innocent players and fans are 'so-called' punished. I think a lot of these PSU fans need to wake up to the actions (or inactions) of JoePa. They don't get it!

 

Gotta agree. Completely. It should have been worse.

 

Sorry Barry, you're wrong.

 

I'm going to have to agree to disagree with Barry on this one, however I can most certainly understand Barrys disdain for anything NCAA.

 

They're affected, but they at least have some choices. Frankly, this affects that whole community, including the merchants. Their program revenues will fall, ticket sales, game attendance...all of these things affect that whole community. It's a big deal for a lot of people.

 

I don't know. I can't find anything wrong with this statement by The King:

“We can’t change what the sorry bastard Sandusky did, right? And everybody can have a knee jerk reaction that I’m not thinking about (the victims). They are full of crap. I am still thinking about them. But I am also thinking about the players that wanted to go to Penn State... That’s the school they wanted to go to. They had nothing to do with this. They had done everything right.”

Personally, I believe they should civilly (or criminally) prosecute everyone who had something to do with the filthy deed and the "cover-up," and leave the football team alone. I guess I'm the only one who agrees with Barry.

 

You're not the only one. I pretty much agree with your last paragraph there. We have a civil and a criminal process for these things and those that were involved will be punished. There's nothing from the NCAA sanctions that punish those involved except maybe taking wins from Peterno.

 

I've got no problem with whatever they do to the dead guy. Paterno should have retired 25 years ago and enjoyed his golden years instead of coaching a POS football team and allowing a POS Chester the Molester go on about his business unabated. Like Barry said, it ain't the players' fault, nor the fans. He's not wrong here.

 

I can't help but believe this is why Paterno never stepped down....he had to keep the lid on Sandusky.

 

I guess Barry was giving his 2 cents worth about the NCAA hammering Penn State on the Brando CFB show, a few minutes ago. Anyone got a transcript or summary of what Barry said? thx
