No question Penn State has [B]complied [/B]with what they [B]were ordered to do.[/B] Was there another option? In fact I commend the current administration for the steps they have taken and for the responsibility they have accepted. I commend O'Brien for stepping into an impossibly difficult situation and committing himself to the current players. Very clear commitment when he decided to stay at Penn State rather than leverage his somewhat successful season to return to the NFL. In fact after reflecting for a day, I'm not so sure I am totally repulsed by the relaxation of the scholarship limits. That is what Mitchell's opinion addresses.

Where I still have an issue is with the quasi-religious culture that enabled Sandusky's action in the first place. My experience in the MetLife parking lot may have been anecdotal, but it was certainly not isolated. I live in the Southern Tier of NY now, right on the Pennsylvania border and the allegiance in this area is still roughly 50 - 50. I have yet to meet a single Penn State supporter who sees the crimes as any type of indictment of misplaced priorities and an environment that put Paterno and football above all. Yesterday's reaction that the restoration of scholarships was some type of vindication or admission by the NCAA that they went too far in issuing the punishments in the first place manifests that.
