Within the past hour, the NCAA lifted the sanctions that had been placed on Penn State football following the Jerry Sandusky serial child rape scandal, making the program bowl-eligible again immediately and restoring all 85 scholarships for the 2015-16 school year.
Anyone who’s followed my writing can attest that, while I robustly ripped all concerned with the original event, including covering with a column Joe Paterno’s firing the night it happened in State College, I’ve also been impressed with most — though not all — of how the matter was followed up by the new administration and even, to an extent, the Penn State community itself. I wrote that for the Trib just last summer.
As a result, I don’t have a problem with this.
But here’s the deal: This case isn’t closed. This case can never be closed.
