Penn State going to a bowl game will *not* be a headline this season, let alone a great one. You can go back to sleep now.

Why should they be punished for the PSU cultutre that was allowed to happen? Why should they not get to compete for a championship? Why should they not get to go to a bowl game? You are so wrong as many are, that these kids should have had to stay at all costs to themselves.

As a proud UT alum, I was disappointed to see him leave. I am also disappointed at the fact that Illinois accepted Penn State transfers. All Penn State players should have stayed in State College to honor their commitment to that university. Shame on Illinois for taking the transfers on their roster. I believe this will cause Illinois to lose 7 games this season. Penn State will win 7 games and go to a bowl game in what will be a great national headline.

The University of Illinois should call for the ouster of Penn State from the B1G to condemn the culture of “win at all costs.”

Why continue to associate with such an institution until they serve just punishment for such criminal attitudes that have allowed such silence. Will the illini stay silent, too?

If they can solve that one, especially through the air, the conference should look out.
