They kept him to keep from dealing with a mass exodus when the 1 year sitting out period was waived. IMO, LJ got played. I don't have any opinion of the guy outside of being very suspicious of anyone that was as ingrained in the PSU program as he was with everything going on, but giving him the benefit of the doubt, the players that he coached and recruited were tied at the hip to him.

If he had walked when everything was coming down, they wouldn't have had to worry about the death penalty, the kids that would have left would have left them with a shell of a team.

I don't usually feel for coaches, but I believe that BOB and LJ (amongst others) got hosed by the people in charge. I don't think LJ was ever going to be considered for HC and I don't think BOB ever was going to be free from the bubble of people loyal to JoePa. Maybe they should have been more aware, maybe not. College football is a business and you should always be looking out for #1.
