I have my DVR set to record the 8am/CDT sportscenter on ESPN. I'm assuming that's what I should record.

Comments from the ESPN story:
They turned it the other way because that's the way Joe Paterno looked at things.
The Board of Trustees took a long time taking the statue down because they were waiting for Joe Paterno to tell them what to do.
Somehow the Paterno family made money from the contract to take down statue.
In its place a plaque will be engraved with the most important thing Joe Paterno ever said - "..............."
They will place the statue in the PSU library to remind all who see it to remain quiet.
Anyone interfering with the removal or site of the statue will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law....14-15 odd years later and only after several cover up attempts and severe negligence by university officials
The statue was revered for being so lifelike--it stood there and did nothing for years
Although removed, the statue will continue to have access to the university private plane, coach's skybox seats, locker room facilities and hydrotherapy program.
The statue was unveiled in 2001, making it another 11 year old ruined by Penn State
The statue was brought down quietly, behind curtains, and covered up so no one could see...because that's the way Paterno liked to do things around there.

I don't understand how removing victories does anything. Everyone knows who won those games. You can go back and watch them. It just seems like such a silly and meaningless punishment. Childish, even. I don't understand why people think wins and losses should be changed. I mean really, who gives a fuck if someone says "hey, that game you won 10 years ago, now it doesn't count. Suck it."?
Nothing happened to Syracuse. Bernie Fine was fired for molesting students and they still had a good recruiting year.

Just heard on Mike and Mike that the Big 10 has also said that they may add sanctions against PSU.

"Sandusky? Never heard of him. Carry on with a stiff upper lip..." vs "They should bulldoze the entire fucking school and send the whole student body to do road crew detail for three years"

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Great news. I was hoping they'd kick them out.
Wasn't it uncovered that the accusations were lies? I think 2 of the 4 admitted to lying, and the other 2 were always questionable. I don't know anything about Bernie Fine, but if it was all lies it's a shame what happened to him. Although, I remember seeing a pic of his butt ugly wife, and that she also slept with the same boys?

Catch an audio stream of any sports station that carries Mike and Mike. They're airing it live.
Got it, thanks!

I agree with the second part. Most culpable leadership still at the college. But NCAA? Nah. The only part I don't sympathize with but recognize is how screwed PSU is with the NCAA right now. Mainly because any punishment handed down the school can't fight due to the apocalyptic PR nightmare it would be, regardless of any possible legal merit.

I'm shocked that confirmed details haven't leaked. News like this almost always leaks out hours before its officially announced.
