Keith Olbermann Not Exactly Thrilled NCAA Giving Penn State Football Its Wins Back [View all]



Penn State and the NCAA have come to an agreement that will restore the 112 wins taken away from the school’s football program in 2012 over its mishandling of the Jerry Sandusky child-molestation scandal. And Keith Olbermann is pissed off about it.

The ESPN anchor, who is not exactly one to mince words, named the two parties the “world’s worst” during his show on Friday (it starts around 2:00 in the video above). The agreement will once again make the late Joe Paterno the winningest coach in major college football history. Paterno was accused in a 2012 report by former FBI Director Louis Freeh of covering up the scandal to avoid bad press, which allegedly allowed Sandusky to continue to abuse children.

In his segment, Olbermann took the NCAA and Penn State to task for continuing to worry about the legacy of its football program and coach.

“This is Joe Paterno’s legacy. This is Penn State’s legacy,” Keith Olberman said. “Football was more important to them than saving children."
