Well, let me put it another way. Given your knowledge of the situation at PSU, if the football program were reduced to 44 scholarship slots, with an unlimited...
Please. And because it makes a "ton of money" (debateable), it's then OK to spend $2,000,000 a year for a coach? Whatever Paterno makes, it's too much. You...
