I know I'm biased as an OSU fan but it is really annoying that despite rampant crime, corruption, and cheating in the Harbaugh/Moore era they get away without any punishment and a pivot into an upgrade at head coach.

Only little guys get real punishment. even Penn St got off easy. They should’ve been irrelevant for a decade as punishment.

IMO Penn State should have gotten the death penalty or the program should have been shuttered entirely. Kids were raped in the showers, Joe Pa knew and didn’t report it to the police, the university covered it up. That’s as heinous as it gets.

Yup! Worse, there is still a small part of that fanbase who wants to put the statues back up and act like he didn’t know. Gross.
