Spineless B1G caves in and lifts PSU post-season revenues ban!

So the B1G decides to join the NCAA as not having a spine and caving into pressure as Big Ten officials decided that the conference will restore Penn State's share of the conference bowl revenues next season after a three-season ban. Thus another sanction against Penn State from the Jerry Sandusky child molestation scandal is going away. Once again it is all about the almighty dollar and not giving any thought about what this scandal did to the people and their families that it affected. It is more important for the B1G to restore Penn State to its stature within the conference then to stand up for what is right!  The Big Ten's decision follows the NCAA's agreement to drop its remaining sanctions, including restoring 112 football wins it had stripped and reinstating Joe Paterno as the winningest coach in major college football history. Neither the B1G or the NCAA carried out its punishments and now in the eyes of many including myself, morals and integrity have been thrown out the window, only to be replaced with how much more money the B1G and the NCAA can put in their coffers!!!  Why not keep the post season ban in effect and give back to the people who lives were shattered by Penn State and Jerry Sandusky all the monies that Penn State was entitled too? But hell no, why would they do this, they do not want to admit what happened at Penn State was morally and ethically wrong. By the B1G lifting its post season ban it sends the wrong message to all, that once again winning and the almighty $$$ are more important than anything else!!!!!  Here's a wild idea for the B1G  and the NCAA and other Conferences as well, next time a University has a scandal of this magnitude or a repeat offender of a sanction, place the whole University and all its teams (mens and womens) on a 1yr or 3 yr  post season ban for all sports and reduce scholarships and lets see how quickly Universities take the right approach to make sure their athletic departments run a clean place. I am sure the NCAA and the Conferences won't implement this, why would they, the NCAA has become powerless and the Conferences cater to all their teams, why??? Simple, once again it is all about the almighty $$$$$ nowadays and noting else.              @cupofjoeinthed
