Penn State gets a slap on the wrist from the NCAA

Penn State football has been handed down by the NCAA and it is a slap on the wrist as they have been fined 60 million dollars and that is a drop in bucket for Penn State as they raised over 200 million dollar after the Jerry Sandusky sandal to the surface. They are not allowed to be in bowl game for the next four season which is a huge biggy as the team is likely not good enough to be in a bowl game and is on probation for five seasons and that is diffidently a good thing to make sure they separate sports and educational and it should be done with every team in the NCAA to make sure that things like this do not happen again but they are not going this far. They are 10 scholarships reduction over the next four season and they are not a huge player in pickling up the best high school players but players on the team right now can move to any team and will not be penalized for leaving Penn State. It looks like they tried to use Joe Paterno legacy and chip away at his legacy by taken all wins away from them between 1998 and 2011 which is 211 wins and it takes him from the winiest NCAA football coach with 409 and after the reduction he now is 12th overall with 298 wins. He also had his statue outside the football stadium and the thing is that he felt sorry for not doing the right thing when he had his chance as his body just gave up right after everything happened. I do not know if U can destroy a dead man's legacy especially when it is all about Jerry Sandusky who should be put away for a long time Tom Mehegan
