re: Now that Bill O'Brien has left for Houston, who becomes Penn State's top target?

As soon as PSU accepted the penalties, it consented to jurisdiction, rendering that issue moot. Also, it was a consent decree that PSU willingly entered into. PSU has practically no case now to dispute the NCAA ruling -- it freely consented to it. There was no finding of fact.

Are you kidding? Penn St got backed into a corner and had no choice but to accept these conditions because the NCAA told them the death penalty would occur if they didn't. Penn St was in a PR nightmare and the last thing they needed was the threat of the death penalty and a witchhunt led by the NCAA on top of law endorcement


In a vacuum, PSU would never have accepted those because they are bullahit and they know it. NCAA had no business getting involved. I will say though that going through the public thrashing by the NCAA is likely making them look like a more "clean" program and probably helped the. Though considering things are being repealed
