Penn State Cult (Joe Knew)

I think that's the 4-year total, not an annual figure. After teams deduct their travel expenses, the bowl money split by each team isn't as much as one might think.

Well, according to Dennis Dodd of CBS Sports during the Jim Tressel situation, Ohio State was bathing in money from bowl revenue :biggrin: (even though he never actually did the math).

If the Big Ten withheld money from the CIC, that would hit Penn State harder (the B1G didn't do that though).

The best unintended penalty from all this will be the lost subscriptions to BWI and PSU scout.

Btw, Sgt. Carted said he was done with NCAA sports *if* (LMAO) the penalties are upheld.

See, the NCAA got it right, the PSU culture is already changing for the better.

Oh and lmao at the 3rd comment, the guy thinks every NCAA school should rally around PSU. No, the 25 presidents who were on the council unanimously voted to annihilate PSU.

Delaney has sounded like an idiot in this conference call. First, he can't get through one sentence without stopping and uttering "um" a couple times. Secondly, how can you not remember what you've done with respect to adjusting conference standings where a teams has had wins vacated when they just went through this with OSU?

He pays other people to that for him.

Does this mean their last win, since they forfeit all going back to '98, was the Alamo Bowl vs Texas A&M where they carried that sick fuck off the field on their shoulders?

Their last win is now against Wiscy in November, 1997. They lost their bowl game that year.

The Alamo Bowl was after the 1999 season - it's one of the bowls that Jerry took a kid with him on the trip.

I'll bet bullets to bucks that the NCAA said to Ped State, "Either you sign this consent form saying that you accept what we've laid out here, or we'll send in the goons to really start digging around. And if we find something else, we're gonna shut you down for a long time."

"Okay, we'll sign it."

Since Mark Emmert said the Freeh Report was greater/better than any investigation the NCAA could've put forth, it tells future schools not to do an internal investigation.

I'd hope the NCAA isn't finish investigating Penn State, even though Emmert more/less said the NCAA isn't that good at investigating.

True, but I don't think any school in a similar situation would refuse an internal investigation.

I don't know about that.

They already opened up a lot of stuff to the Freeh group. NCAA investigators would not get that level of access and are almost entirely powerless in a case like this. Penn State isn't scared of them, I think they just realize that any form or resistance or protest would be disastrous from a PR standpoint.
