3. While I'm Not Convinced

that banning Penn State from football for any amount of time is worth a hill of beans in this whole mess. I can't say that, in the general scheme of things, it would make me sad. I'm a PA resident who visited Penn State to see friends a few times in the '70's and have no particular interest in PSU football. However, the change in the school from "the day" to post-Big 10 was amazing and rather disheartening to those of us who think WAAAAY to much money flowing into sports these days. And yeah, I know, football at those schools brings in big money. But Penn State was a school before football became king and I think it wouldn't be horrible if they got to put some attention into non-football things. More focus on not-football would not be a bad thing.
