Penn State bowl discussion? They should play

Despite all of the problems that have occurred at PSU, the one group who should not be punished is the football team.

The players have done nothing wrong.

And while the entire institution deserves to be punished, there are more effective ways to impose penalties than to hurt the kids who have been performing admirably on the field.

This opinion of our is far from universally accepted.  But the voices that matter, those of the bowl games seem to be supporting the invitation of PSU.

There are some interesting perspectives here:

• Christine Brennan, USA Today, Penn State needs to skip Rose and any other bowl
• Chicago Tribune:  Nittany Lions are eligible for a game, but it’s not a certainty that they’ll be invited.
• ESPN:  Rose Bowl would not turn away PSU
• People don’t want people to go to bowl
