          They probably would've preferred the death penalty.

            That 4th one is a bitch. Imagine losing EVERY PLAYER, and with them being able to play immediately somewhere else, it's a damn good possibility.

              Wouldn't fair on the players if they gutted the team and then punished them for following their best interests. Only real option they had.

                I doubt the Juniors and Seniors will leave. But I'm sure everyone else will be out like a fat kid stealing third.

                  if the juniors and seniors have intentions of having a nfl career I bet they do. Cause Penn State is going to suck, and I bet those guys want to go to a good team and play in bowl games

                    precisely why they had to remove any restrictions on players transferring.

                        It's probably too late for the Sr class to transfer. Maybe even the Jr class to but the only ones that makes perfect sense is for the soph and fresh classes to move around. If this decision had come 6 months ago it'd be a different story. But this time of year any decent program will have their roster set...

                          Yep, a lot of kids are going to transfer with not having to sit out a year...

                            that's a lot of money lost in the postseason.

                              So it's worse to pay players than it is to rape kids? Glad we got that clarified.
