How do you think that TCU and Baylor feel after they missed the cut for the college football playoffs? They had the same record as Ohio State(the fourth seed) who ended up winning the playoffs; and they both won their bowl games that they played in.

The Penn State football scandal rocked the sports world and dominated the headlines for months and months. The penalties placed upon Penn State are beyond anything that has ever been seen before in college athletics. I believe that all the penalties affecting the present and future football program and completely just. Although, I do not think that it is okay to punish the players of those who were not on the team from 1998-2011. The players after 2011 had nothing to repulsive acts by Jerry Sandusky or the cover-up that occurred with the Penn State Office.
