per SI:

Even with the lifting of sanctions, Penn State won’t accumulate sufficient depth and talent over night. Currently 24 of the program’s 64 recruited scholarship players are true freshman. “Right now we have guys who are starters and they know we don’t have anybody behind them to put in the game if they aren’t performing,” says Franklin. “The kids behind them are great kids, but not great players. And we won’t have a full 85 [recruited players] for two more years.”

The rest of the program’s -- and the university’s -- recovery will surely take longer. There are no fewer than seven civil and criminal lawsuits connected in some way to the Sandusky scandal, not including the defamation suit that Lord says he is assisting Spanier in potentially filing against Freeh. All of them are awaiting trial or settlement, a process that will surely take years.
