Tough spot for the new Admin. They were going to tick off a group of sponsors/donors no matter what they chose. I'm sure the Paterno supporters will start flooding the President's office with letters stating we will never contribute another dime, while others will probably contain vague threats.

I expect riots tonight in State College.

Sweet Jesus, why do you people have to throw away every man's lifelong achievements as a penalty of another man's crimes? If he could defend himself, and he had no excuse, them by all means punish him, but this is "guilty until you rise from the dead and prove your innocence"!!

Wow Penn State fans..

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

I hope its televised.

 

[Whiskeyjack]

Every American organization with negative news to release will do so this morning.

 

[Pa Golden Tate Fan]

I hope its televised.

Saddam style.

I think you're missing the point. It's not throwing away his lifelong achievements as a penalty of another man's crimes. It's due to what he didn't do all the while knowing it was going on under his watch. He can keep his achievements in the record books for all I care. Just don't honor him.

I just can't comprehend why anyone would want the statue to remain.

I totally agree. I always knew that there was something wrong with Penn St. fans.

I believe that the kids these days are calling it "incest"... FYI

I say get rid of the statue of Joe and change the helmet stripe to black for the next season. Then move on because while amends must be made letting it fester is just as bad.

Joe Paterno statue removed from outside Penn State University's Beaver Stadium - ESPN

@DanWetzel: NCAA has scheduled a press conference to discuss PennState Monday at 9 a.m. ET

 

[BobD]

I'm glad its coming down. I wonder where they are taking it?

They took it inside the stadium for now.

Hello

@DanWetzel: NCAA will hand down "unprecedented penalties" on Penn State per @ArmenKeteyian of CBS http://t.co/W9mKbE2s

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

The swift timing makes me think the school and NCAA reached some type of agreement.

@BryanDFischer: NCAA release confirms 9 AM ET press conference to announce "corrective and punitive measures" for Penn State.

Yes gives plenty of time for twitter to come up with every possible scenario.
