OT: Penn State Postseason Eligibility Restored

[Whitey23]

@slmandel
BREAKING: NCAA has restored Penn State's postseason eligibility immediately.

What??? Seriously disband the NCAA, what a freaking joke.

 

[Whitey23]

@Ben_Jones88, Penn St will also have all scholarships restored for the 2015-16 season per the NCAA.

 

[Moontan]

With the Ray Rice news, this could be the best best day to announce it.

First the scholarship reduction is reduced and now too the post-season ban. Horrible decisions!!

How many more recruits are we going to have decommit now?

 

[JeremyCuse]

Zero surprise here, once the NCAA cracked and started to back off on the scholarship reductions it was only a matter of time before the post season ban was gone to. Surprised its immediately and not starting next year but the decision itself doesnt surprise me at all.

In unrelated news, Western Kentucky will now receive the death penalty.

Yeah, can't be a coincidence how this was timed.

Yikes forgot about that. One of the NJ guys is probably gone for sure.

all of them

Such outrage against the NCAA but people were cool with us playing them last year when we should have canceled.

 

[Cheriehoop]

Yeah, can't be a coincidence how this was timed.

And the horrible results from the Big 10's weekend -a little panic driven? It's all such BS.

 

[PhatOrange]

wow

I don't think SU could have afforded to get out of that one if they wanted.

All that needs to happen to complete the travesty is for the Paterno statue to be placed clandestinely in the showers, but never shown to any non-cult members.

 

[JeremyCuse]

DKelly

Yeah that would be my thought to, would really suck.

 

[OttoinGrotto]

See, this is why I think the death penalty was needed. Had they shut the program down for a year or two an actual punishment could have been enacted. Instead, they get a couple of down years.

 

[NashvilleOrange]

Absolute horse5hit

 

[Alsacs]

How long till the Cult of Joe demand the statute be brought back out.

 

[OrangePA]

How long till the Cult of Joe demand the statute be brought back out.

I predict that once all the evidence is fully reviewed and adjudicated, Paterno's statue and wins will be restored.

 

[tep624]

This entire situation is turning into a complete joke.

Does this continuous backpedaling now indicate that the NCAA doesn't feel PSU had a lack of institutional control?

 

[Full_Rebar]

The NCAA and Penn St better hope Franklin is a hell of a lot cleaner than he appears to be...good luck with that.
