You've probably heard this before, but the NCAA is awful. If you're reading this, you're probably tied to Penn State in one way or another, so you already know this. You have also probably called for more people to be critical of the NCAA, and if you went on ESPN yesterday, the one year anniversary of the NCAA sanctioning Penn State for the Sandusky scandal, you saw that.

Penn State is one of twelve Big Ten schools that will use what would have been Penn State's bowl revenues for various child-related charities.
Each university will be given $188,344 by the Big Ten for a total just under $2.3 million. That number would have been the amount of money Penn State would have received from the Big Ten in revenue had they been eligible to participate in a bowl game.
