Twitter: Penn State Family Reacts to Sanctions

How about showing some respect for the NCAA and the rules that everyone must abide by…. although this is difficult for players, consider how difficult it must be knowing that someone like Paterno knew… a great football leader and coach…… and he did nothing. Sorry guys but this is bigger than your National Championship rings and your trophies..

Penn State forever!

Boo-Hoo…penalties could have and should have been even worse. Program should have been shut down for 14 years.

I just don’t understand how there could be any reaction but remorse over this. Dozens of children abused and yet you guys are talking about wins? How about thinking beyond yourselves for a bit and to destroyed lives that result directly from your University’s irresponsibility.

Nic….which NCAA rule was violated again?

Honey, the school IS showing respect. We accepted what was given to us, and we’re just planning to move forward. We know that this is bigger than the championships, it’s just unbelievable that what students worked hard for is just gone in a snap.

JR, if you played football your whole life and realized that most of your winnings suddenly meant nothing, how would you feel? Anyone in his rightful mind would feel bad.

Let me se if I got this right wall street steals billions wipe out pensions and and homes nothing done still not regulated and they drop the house on the wicked witch because of about 5 people and absolutely crush a whole university take Paternos wins away but there just hurting more kids by penalizing them

I would be completely for banning PSU from bowl games as long as Sandusky is alive.

I witnessed a crucifixion today with Penn State .. The past players….
More Victims added daily to this horrific situation…..

Raine,

You mean what the ATHLETES on the FOOTBALL team worked hard for? The NCAA isn’t punishing the student body here.

The players don’t deserve this, but action must be taken. It’s just a sad fact. They can still be proud that they played the games clean while Paterno let the world down.

This has nothing to do with the abuse of children …. This is abuse of power.

You can’t go back. Life was different 10+ years ago. It’s all unfortunate, but we’re looking at decade-old actions through 2012 eyes. I don’t see how taking away the wins is any sort of restitution. JoePa still one of the greatest coaches ever.

Guess you guys didn’t do things the right way Penn State. You were the first to jump on USC, Ohio State, any SEC school when anything occured. Your President asked the other schools “Why can’t you be like us?” Win with Honor huh? Take your medicine and shut up! Roll Tide.

It’s very disturbing that Penn State fans and Paterno’s family show no concern for the victims. The NCAA had no choice and is doing the right thing (for once). Too much power was given to a football coach and the bottom line is Snadusky was llowed to prey on young victims because a football program was put ahead of doing the right thing. I wonder how PSU fans would feel if their brother or son was a victim.

Amazing to me how you speak as through you know everything- Penn State fans have raised money for abused children in the whole country-When are you going to contribute?

These players did nothing wrong-you show how you voice speaks of the innocent but you want to punish the innocent.

Punishing the innocent accomplishes nothing. And, for the record, our university is a lot more than a football team. You’re overgeneralizing and making a fool of yourself if you dare to say that we deserve to not have the exact same opportunities as students at every other university in this country. We deserve to keep our football program, and our dignity. Shame on you for picking on the innocent. Our students have accomplished philanthropic goals that you wouldn’t dream of… ever heard of THON? How about you do some reading and have a heart before attacking the blue and white… these students do NOT deserve your hatred or negativity.
