youre talking about forfeiture of games, which is past firing paterno and in between that and canceling the season.

if the program is facing a complete overhaul and at least some possibility of sanctions, that makes it that much more important they cash in on a bowl-eligible season now. i dont mean to make this all about football, i've already talked about paterno being a big cog in a larger machine and the pros/cons of firing him though.

the thing to me is that this is already fucked. it's fucked for the players in the program now and for the program going forward. i didn't see the harm in his staying until season's end and riding out the end of this campaign.
