Outrage all around.

intro
On Monday morning, the NCAA announced the punishments for Penn State following the Sandusky scandal. The major penalties were a $60 million fine and a four-year bowl ban. Wins were also vacated dating back to 1998 and Joe Paterno went from being the all-time leader in coaching in the FBS division all the way down to fifth.
Much like when the Freeh Report was release earlier this month, Twitter reacted to the news with a wide range of opinions. Some continued to defend Paterno's legacy and impact on Penn State, while others continued to condemn the entire program and college. As always, the Twitter-world is an entertaining way to gauge the public's response to the day's biggest news.

Leave it to the Trill O.G. himself to put things in perspective. Twitter isn't always about abundant ratchetness and fuckery.

Add another name to the people that would have handled this whole mess better.

This week's going to be a bitch for the folks at the college football-reference site.

What's that saying? If you don't have anything smart to say then STFU? #closeenough

Yup, when your highlight reel page looks like this then Penn State still seems like a good choice. #weareirrelevant

Cal does manage to always stay a step ahead of those nagging NCAA enforcers.

It's only right that another person who didn't speak up be linked permanently to the scandal.

We'd like to say we expect more from the "Worldwide Leader in Sports" but we can't.

If any other school could relate to the NCAA's hammer coming down, it's Ohio State.

Yeah, because protecting a child molester for well over a decade is doing things the "right way." FOH, fam. #theresmoretolifethanfootball
