What about the improper benefits to recruits? Ok with that too?

Yes. Until the NCAA rulebook leaves the early 60s, I hope the kids can get whatever they can, within the bounds of the law.

At some point, surely, someone is going to let me know what this has to do with Penn State.

It has to do with pen state because they are no longer number one in vacated games. The honorable Tide have now ascended to the throne.

It's kinda sad that Bama couldn't even give up enough wins for the rest of the SEC to catch up. No wonder the rest of the country thinks the conference is overrated.

Many of you have probably read my take on this whole issue, so this particular opinion might surprise you:

I think the NCAA should leave the wins vacated. Vacating wins is nothing but a symbolic gesture. It doesn't erase anyone's memory and it doesn't make rings or trophies disappear. Most importantly, vacating wins doesn't hurt anyone involved with the program who didn't actually participate in the wrongdoing.

Paterno, Schultz, Spanier, and Curley all participated in the coverup of a heinous crime. They all did so to varying degrees, and the legality of each man's participation can be debated, I suppose. What can't be denied is that they failed as human beings. They failed ethically and morally. They failed to protect children.

Leaving the wins vacated won't fix anything. Nothing the NCAA can do can even come close to fixing anything. As I said, the vacated wins are symbolic, and nothing more. But they should remain as a lasting reminder of what happened when four cowards failed the most vunerable amongst us.

Baseball needs to get over what Pete Rose did and let him in the Hall of Fame. My respect for that Hall of Fame would grow if they did that. And I agree in Paterno. His image took a major blow when all of the allegations came out.

his punishment is that it won't happen until he's dead or on his death bed. IMO. You can't bet on your sport.

The Vols are only 39 wins behind Bama. Not too shabby. We will be catching up soon! Go Vols!!
