OB has been quite respectful of his predecessor

and then he was reportedly told not to go outside for such things.



Which is probably a common request for insurance purposes.

This is only a problem on the recruiting trail. O'Brien is right to answer it forcefully. There's also PR value in BOB being the one to answer: He was not being implicated - it was the AD. Joyner would come off as just being defensive.


But doesn't trotting the football coach in front of the media while the AD hides behind prepared statements help assert the claim that football still has too much power

NO.......................it means something different.  Not hard to figure out!

What's it mean?  That PSU isn't comfortable putting Joyner in front of the media?

Sasa never intended to stay 5 years.

Better yet, why is the football coaching having a press conference?  Where's the AD, he should be the one answering questions.

The article is out.  It reads like someone has an axe to grind.

PSU apparently is concerned about the story, if they're for once  being proactive with PR

Penn State's draw seems to be a favorable one, as the Nittany Lions will face Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Northwestern just once next season.

Penn State will host Iowa and Wisconsin in the BJC, while taking on Michigan and Northwestern on the road in 2014.

Yeah, something about how the changeover in the medical staff was handled/directed.  Judging by the author's experience and past jabs at Joyner (re: his Olympics tenure), it wouldn't surprise me if that's where it goes.

Spanier's only at the top of this list because the board paid out the remainder of his contract.  It's a false number to compare to other presidents' annual compensation packages. 

Yet the media is running with it as if it's proof of more shenanigans at PSU

Oregon is the state left on my list I want to visit the most.

I had a chance to knock RI off the list a couple years ago during a trip to Cape Cod, but the flight cost to Providence was just way too much more than flight into Boston.
