Around the Big Ten

[Dr. Strangelove]

More like 10 years IMO

The conf was solid from 1990-2005.

Mich and neb need to up their games. QB play across the conference must improve... Managing the game is a failure. Also, need to move speed up in the big, not down. Safeties to outside lb's would be a good start.

Need an infusion of offensive ideas as well IMO. Urban brings some of that, but more is needed.

Recruiting of DBs needs to improve, universally.

Penn State completely off the hook. Knew it would happen soon.

Well why didn't you just say so.

Penn State systematically covers up egregious child abuse for more than a decade, and they're off NCAA sanctions to start 2015. Meanwhile, Jim Tressel STILL won't be able to coach in 2015.

The NFL initially suspends Ray Rice 2 games for what we all knew then was domestic abuse, though it's much more graphic now. The NFL suspended Jim Tressel 5 fucking games for violating NCAA rules. Terrelle Pryor, too.

Yeah.

[entropy]

if I was Tressel, I'd be in the paper tomorrow wondering why his good behavior hasn't resulted in a shorter sentence..

[Dr. Strangelove]

The NFL is a bunch of fucks, but I disagree on Penn State. Every administrator that knew about Sandusky deserves prison time but the NCAA seriously overreached in getting involved. They are incompetent enough as it is; they don't need to be muddling around in criminal affairs as well.

It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world. Except for Lola.

I agree re PSU. The NCAA had no real business doing anything, IMO. However, once they did act -- regardless of their authority to do so -- they bound themselves up in the fiasco. Now, when retreat from their initial bad decision the appearance is exactly as is portrayed in the media: oh, you haven't let kids get assraped in the shower in the past 2 years? Awesome job! You're free to go!

So, I guess I agree with you about the propriety of the initial punishment but disagree about the nearly complete "nevermind".

The NFL's suspensions of both Tressel and Pryor for violating NCAA rules was, IMO, egregious, but something that only OSU fans cared about. Their handling of Ray Rice was egregious and something a few more people care about. Roger can go fuck himself.
