[mikemarc1]

Will probably be self-reported, and a minor slap on the wrist..but how dumb could Franklin be???

[RutgersRaRa]

Wow.

 

[Ataylor1989x]

Just wondering, what is the wording of the rule forbidding what they did?

 

[AreYouNUTS]

That's hysterically dumb!

No violation....because Hill has already signed a financial aid agreement. At least that is what's being reported on BWI. I don't know - I am no expert on recruiting rules.

 

[Ataylor1989x]

Wow, that's a very, very clearly worded rule. I'm biased, but I would hope someone enforces this because it shows a lack of institutional control by someone.....even if it were just the jumbotron graphics guy improvising.

How does financial aid even work if you have a full athletic scholarship? is it a loan of spending money?

PSU's WR coach getting defensive about it in twitter.

Love his use of the apostrophe too. Haha.

 

[fatsam98]

Didn't realize they had any assistant coaches left.

 

[Queztastic]

Wow, didn't realize the Michigan fan base hates them so much.

 

[RUPartisan]

There should be a rule that states they cannot sign said recruit or else it may just work to their advantage. All PSU has to do is say oops sorry bout that currently and can still sign this recruit.

There are financial aid papers you can sign that bind the school to honor your scholarship, and once they are signed the school can talk about the player like they would a recruit who signed a letter of intent on National Signing Day. It doesn't bind the player to the school though, and if the player chooses to go elsewhere, the school can be hit with a violation if they announced the signing, etc.

 

[RUNVA]

Living in VA I can say that as much as some are not happy with RU and Maryland in the BIG, I have not met one person who likes PS. I do not know what it is, but man it runs deep.

Maybe time to retire this soon, getting old like whoever it was that always posted "fail"

I'm sure there are hundreds of other ways to make fun of them

Speak for yourself. I still laugh every time as Patrick has a way with words. Even a couple of our PSU visitors enjoy it.

The 'FAIL' guy was lame from the get go.

USC did it with Daelin Hayes. He signed but decommitted and now enrolled at ND no don't think anything will happen to USC though

Sorry, but this is always entertaining whenever it's posted. Keep up the good work Patrick!

Up yours, woz. Most of us get a great kick out of Patrick's PSU mimes, even if we see them 10 times a day. He has more creativity in his pinky than you'll ever have.

 

[MorrisAsh]

They tacitly let a child rapist operate on campus for a decade and got only a 3 yr bowl ban so why would they be worried about putting a recruit on their video board ?

Nah, it never gets old because the cult is back to full strength now. Maybe you should just not look at it. PatrickRU92 keep up the good work all of us appreciate it, well that is except for one guy.:chairshot:

He probably signed them five minutes after this picture was taken.

 

[WhiteBus]

I hate Penn State but this is a stupid thread. No violation here

I think your Flood picture profile is getting old. Time to change it.

 

[mikemarc1]

Or not. Lol.

Definitely brought unwanted attention. Doubt PSU does it again. Especially if the kid doesn't even enroll.

Not smart.

Exactly right.....Now somebody flip this kid quick!! Lol

He isn't committed to PoSU, almost locked for Michigan

 

[jerzey devil]

If he is EE and signed his financial aid papers he can't flip to another B1G school...it would have to be an out of conference

 

[nick614]

Wow, didn't realize the Michigan fan base hates them so much.

No one likes PSU in the conference. They have the worst fans too.

 

[mikemarc1]

He didn't enroll early. That's the loophole

Ah well, such is life! if everybody likes you you're doing something wrong. Eventually your fawning over Michigan and OSU will wear off. Lol

No one is fawning over OSU and UM. And we don't hate State Penn because you're doing things right. Quite the opposite actually. We, and the rest of the B1G fans, are merely pointing out the State Penn are a bunch of delusional, nutcase, culty drones whose arrogance has no bounds and who have shown little remorse or humility despite the worst cover up of a hideous crime in the history of college sports, all in the name of protecting the precious football program which unfortunately for you knuckle heads is what that school is all about.
