Don't take this the wrong way. I don't have any particular sympathy for either Penn State or Joe Paterno. However, I don't understand the point of taking away all the wins from 1998-2011. I get that they don't want Paterno to have the all-time wins record, but he does. Those games were played. His team won them. There were real blocks, real tackles, and real touchdowns. Sometimes, there were real injuries. Pretending those games didn't happen, or pretending Joe Paterno's team didn't really win them, is denying reality.
Also, since those games didn't really happen, is the NCAA going to give back all the money they made from them? Didn't think so.
