Scholarship penalties could crush Penn State
July 25, 2012 7:53 AM
A reasonable conclusion: Penn State football might not be back to normal, roster-wise, until the 2020 season or so.
The NCAA and Big Ten also are making it very easy for current Penn State players to transfer. Players who signed national letters of intent with Penn State in February may be released from those letters and allowed to go elsewhere without penalty. If players pledged to Penn State decide in the next year that they want to compete elsewhere, they shouldn't face much, if any, resistance.
And if Penn State players decide they don't want to play football but remain in school, their scholarships will be honored until they complete their degrees.
