No, not alumnus ... just enjoy all college football. As a kid, used to sneak into the Columbia football games at Baker Field. Half the fun was trying to avoid the Pinkies (Pinkerton Private Security) that the university hired.

Alumnus! That's funny... heck, I still haven't finished learning my 3rd Grade Reader....but I DID stay in a Holiday Inn Express.

JoePa has a year to year contract. If you go by tendencies he'll be there next year.

I'm a Penn State alumni. I must admit I am not a fan of any team, however I am so proud of Penn State and their wins this season. My husband always tells me they just play cupcakes, but last night proved him wrong. Plus it is amazing how Joe keeps going and going.

Just got back yesterday from spending 4 days at Penn State with my daughter (she is an alumni and now lives and works for Penn State) and her family and the place went wild when Penn State won.

My nephew just graduated from PSU; however, my Son-in-Law is from Ohio and his family has many Ohio State grads........I'm conflicted

WE ARE.... PENN STATE!

I feel bad for all Penn State alumni who will suffer with the publicity over Sandusky's escapades.

The question of the day is how long Joe Pa will last.

Will he resign:

• Before tomorrow's news conference,
• At the news conference,
• Before the next game on Sat.,
• Before the end of the year, or
• Will he last out the year?

Kim Jones of the YES Network, who is a Penn St. alum, worked sports there a few years after graduation was on with Mike Francesa and she was livid about what went out ....her voice was quivering.

A poignant quote from her was, "Well we certainly ceded the high ground with this one!"

I don't think Joe Pa will resign. I think the board of directors should fire him.
I don't say this to be mean but Penn State needs to put this behind them as quickly as possible. What a scandal!!!!!!

IMHO - Joe Pa should have followed-up on this report and do the right thing. He didn't and lost his moral compass. The welfare of a human being is much more important than wins and losses or protecting an associate.

These kids that were affected will never be the same and shame on everyone who allowed this linger for ten plus years and should have put an end to this immediately.

Joe Pa who was looked at "what was right with college football" is really on the wrong side of the line on this one.

Joe Pa lost his legacy and may not be convicted of any wrong doing but he is morally wrong.!!!!!

It's all about the kids being hurt and being affected by a predator.

I have to go now as I am getting angry thinking about this.

And we thought Ohio State was having problems! Pales in comparison to what Penn State is having to deal with.

College football has become a religion. Making one's own god(s) never succeeds.

AP is reporting that he will retire at the end of the season.

Sad.

My experiences in many organizations make it difficult for me to blame him as harshly as many others have for not following up on the allegations he brought to the administration. If he had trust in those above him, even if misplaced as it appears, he may have been confident that the proper things would be done.

And, no, I'm not a Penn State alumnus.
