The football program also isn't going to be the powerhouse it was, though, given the restrictions. Which doesn't mean people won't go -- I just wondered.
Their ability to recruit or retain talent is going to be pretty much in the gutter (as is right and appropriate). That doesn't mean people won't go, for sure. But with no chance for post-season and probably non-competitive teams, I think they'll take a big hit.

I wonder about less hardcore out-of-towners, too, who might not want to be associated with going to the games anymore.
So much of the Penn State community's economy is dependent on football, I suppose the NCAA is really trying to walk the fine line so they don't overmuch punish the truly innocent.
I am packing for Las Vegas and ROLLERCON! How excited am I about a week of derby on skate classes, seminars and world class roller derby bouts? Go on, guess.
Rosie thinks a bed in the middle of the living room is the best idea ever.
I have heard worse ideas!

I don't know, Cash, you sound a little blase about it.
I can't believe I called a meeting for 8AM Monday morning, and was late DIALING IN FROM HOME. For god's sake. I was intending to be logged into the network by 8--I was just walking leisurely?
I also heard on the radio today that there will be no penalty on athletes who are recruited elsewhere and decide to play for another school. usually they have to sit out for a year, but not with those at PSU's football program.

I can't believe that even exists! It sounds *so* fucking cool. I gotta remember--that for anything any group of people do, there's probably a convention of some ilk for it, where they nerd out and just do it when no one's paying to look. And talk about it forever too.
