Thats good. It would have been a real pain to arrange any sort of 12th game for us at this late date.




I wonder what the posts on this board concerning this issue would be/would have been if we didn't have PSU on the schedule this year.   My guess is that there would have been many many people calling for at least a year with no football at PSU but since that would have meant who knows what for our 12 games schedule, the calls did not come.  This is exactly why I believe canceling their season needs to happen.  The only way we'll ever address the hero worship and lessen the emphasis placed on college athletics, is to affect many people in many places.  If PSU is simply  banned from a few bowls and loses some scholarships thus resulting in a mediocre program, it doesn't affect people far and wide and the general situation simply continues.

My attitude would have been the same - I think they should cancel a season, but not this upcoming one. It simply is too short notice. In a way the longer notice actually hurts them worse. If they cancel this year, they can recruit normally, but if they cancel the year after, they will have a very hard time recruiting.
