Retweet of the Day - July 26, 2012

I really have sympathy for Penn State Head Football coach Bill O'Brien, the Penn State football team, the student body, and the thousands of uninvolved people affected by the Jerry Sandusky child sex abuse scandal and the corresponding sanctions levied by the NCAA against the football program. These people didn't do anything wrong. They are going to suffer.

Among the myriad NCAA sanctions against Penn State, one of the punishments included the ability for any of their football players to transfer anywhere, including within the conference, immediately without having to sit out a year. Upon the revelation of that news, the buzzards came calling to State College, Pennsylvania. This morning, for instance, The Jim Rome Show relayed reports of a half dozen University of Illinois assistants waiting outside the apartment of an unnamed Penn State football player. Rome also discussed reports that O'Brien said that as many as 50 NCAA schools have tried to recruit his players this week.

Today's retweet is from Adam Kramer (@KegsnEggs), who succinctly sums up the State College Jock Rush of 2012 in tweet a quote by the new Penn State coach.

"'It's like NFL free agency without the rules.' - Bill O'Brien"

Even the vultures find the other member schools to be bad for the "vulture" brand.
