per Mike DeCourcy of Sporting News: Return of Joe Paterno's wins is the hollowest of victories
Some of the sanctions imposed were rolled back last summer as a sort of “good-behavior” gesture, including allowing the Nittany Lions to participate in a 2014 bowl game. Nearly all are now gone as the result Friday of the settlement of a lawsuit filed by Pennsylvania state senator Jake Corman.
“Today is a victory for due process,” Corman declared. “Today is a victory for the people of Pennsylvania. Today is a victory for Penn State nation.”
He got all that wrong, of course. This wasn’t a victory for anyone, except those who somehow cared what happened to Paterno’s victories. He’s got them back now. If that gets anyone through the day, heaven help them.
