Remember all those years we got chumped by the Alamo bowl? (those were the days) PSU is even more non-desireable than we ever were. Kind of a Karma thang, considering how they got invited to the Alamo bowl in '99 after we beat them. Although it is kind of sad, given that the current players (& fans) had nothing to do with this scandal.
Breaking this down, you figure
1.PSU is likely to tank their remaining two games, and then roll over in a bowl game
2.The stench of the Sandusky scandal would be clinging to PSU like a dead skunk
3.You'd be lucky to fill up one section with the number of PSU fans that would show up
#3 is what would scare the bejeesus out of a bowl committee. They don't give a crap about the game, particularly for the non-BCS bowls. It's all about filling up hotel rooms. If I were PSU's (acting) AD, I'd get in front of this right now and release a statement that PSU will decline any bowl invitations this season. It would save a lot of embarrassment come the first week of December, and it sets up a good storyline for a year or two down the road.
