This is also where my problem with Paterno lies. Please keep in mind that many of the saner PSU fans have been driven underground by the howls of the mob. But please remember that of all the people who are in big trouble in this case, he did the most right (while still not enough). Spanier should have been fired out of a cannon; Schultz and Curley will hopefully go to jail for a little while at least; and Sandusky - well, he's the rabid dog who should have never been left out in the first place and hopefully never will be again. |

One example of the mass media coverage: This explains the BC and NW omissions: "The infractions stain is Connecticut's first in any sport. It leaves four marquee athletics programs -- of the 65 in the nation's six major football-playing conferences, plus Notre Dame -- without a major case in their histories, and two of them carry asterisks. Boston College and Northwestern endured point-shaving scandals that weren't adjudicated by the NCAA." So you're right - BC and NW just got caught point-shaving, but not by the NCAA(?) |

The "Penn State and Stanford are the only ones left standing" applies to all sports, not just the big two. I don't know what sport Northwestern got dinged for, but they did get dinged. |

PSU and Stanford are alone among BCS schools. Iowa, NW, and Purdue have received major violations. |

But everybody in the Big Ten seems to forget there's still one conference member that has never been dealt a major NCAA violation. |

Pitt is PSU's little brother; Rutgers is like a distant cousin with mental issues. |

It's already on a lot of peoples' packages, and it's because of Penn State, which even right next to Rutgers' campus is more of a draw than is Rutgers itself. The NY Times many seasons seems to regard PSU as the local college team in their sports section, or at least they did way back when I read. |
| 2 years 22 weeks ago | PSU > WVU as rival for Pitt |
Pitt's fight song, last I heard, was STILL amended by their students to read "Penn State sucks! Penn State sucks! P E N N S T Sucks!". Something like 15 years after the rivalry supposedly stopped. Note: They supposedly do this in ALL their games. |

Framed as you put it, of course, you would question that person's sanity. Of course, that's not remotely what I said, and you know it. Framed as I put it, you'd be disappointed to see the author of a blog you normally respect(*) have so little respect for themselves and their team that the only thing they could do after getting whipped was to talk about how they gave the game away. Not to even bring up ONCE, not even ONE TIME, that "gosh, maybe PSU was better than we thought they were". Then, of course, you'd be even more disappointed as the commenters piled on instead of admitting the behavior (although one or two guys in the other thread did, finally, do so). Again, you can go to BSD and see what those guys have been saying about Iowa if you insist on disbelief here. Go ahead; I'll wait. (* - and a blog disproportionately respected by the entire college football ecosystem, of course; a hell of a lot of non-Michigan-fans read this site). |

The problem with your theory is it sorta ends up with you on the same level as the PSU homers, which is really going to wreak havoc with your superiority complexes. Hint: What I posted here the last couple of days is precisely what I would expect a thinking Michigan fan to do at, say, BSD if the 34-8 style blowouts, had garnered write-ups which didn't even mention the asskicking and had instead made it sound like PSU had just handed the ball over repeatedly to an inferior and undeserving team out of the goodness of our hearts or because we were just having an awful day. |
