University officials and James Franklin have commented on today's Mitchell Report and NCAA's decision to strike down bowl ban.
Penn State has officially brought "going to the gym" into the future. I'm not sure what everyone had in mind when they heard that the gyms were being revamped, I mean really, how much can a treadmill or any workout machine change? You step on, jog, blast your music, maybe do some reading you had for homework if you were really good at multitasking, and leave. Well, within the last few months Penn State has completely destroyed that stereotype at the new and improved IM Building.
The latest progress report regarding Penn State University's compliance with NCAA sanctions for the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal is expected to be released Monday.
Eric Barron responded personally to an email we sent Old Main this morning asking for the motivation behind sending his letter that asked for civility from the Penn State community. He said the letter wasn't sent because of any event or to take a side on the issue; rather, it stems from an accumulation of examples, some of which are national in scope.
In a response to the Penn State leadership's letter today asking for civility, Jay Paterno said his claim that Penn State will never have "the full story" is a cop out and that this letter only adds fuel to the fire.
In a letter and video sent in the middle of the night, President Barron and the rest of Penn State's leadership asked the Penn State community to act with civility when discussing differences of opinion in issues related to the university's handling of the Sandusky scandal.
It is widely believed that integrity monitor George Mitchell's second annual report to the NCAA on Penn State's compliance will be released today, which many expect to affect Penn State's sanctions in some way. It certainly seems that this letter is preempting the contents of Mitchell's report, for reasons only speculative.
