You may recall when Lulu's cousins came down to visit us in Tallahassee and go to the "Catholics Versus The Criminals" game. It was ESPN GameDay - and we all attended the pre-game party. Cathy and RuthAnn spend the whole day holding up this sign. The NCAA must have thought they were Seminole fans just being nice - but their message was taken seriously.
The NCAA dropped several of the penalties against the Nittany Lions - penalties that were silly and obviously going to be overturned in the courtroom. As they say - the NCAA copped a plea - and Penn State settled out of court. The team's 100 or so wins were reinstated - but the $60,000,000 fine was not returned. I am guessing if it went to court - the NCAA's power wings would have been clipped. They overstepped their bounds - and live to flash their power again another day. Penn State gets to put their graven image of Joe back on campus.
Penn State deserved better. Both times.
