I just picture some higher up type guy sitting down and having a light bulb go off, "oh damn, this is gonna suck."

Dammit someone else thought dodgeball at the exact same time as me.

Anyone been to a Penn State board to see how they're reacting to this story?

Seems like this would motivate the mouth-breathers among the fanbase.

I can't go there anymore. Their Scout board just blows me away with how stupid those people are. I had to quit visiting the site.

Well, if there was any truth to the 4 year death penalty if Penn St didn't accept the sanctions...

It sounds like this was confirmed separately by both Mark Emmert of the NCAA and Rodney Erickson of PSU.

My read of that was just that the board of trustees was ticked off that Erickson agreed to the sanctions without the board's consent. I imagine that the meeting tonight was damage control and some "don't you ever pull this **** again" haranguing of the president by the board. They'd be pretty damned stupid and irrational to start challenging the sanctions themselves if the alternative is a 4-year death penalty...
