Message: [QUOTE="Seaa Blue, post: 1229558, member: 4774"] Like I said, location, location, location... That and the athletic departments were told to make an 11 team conference work without any consultation with the presidents. Bo jumped all over the presidents for doing that. How many football coaches scolded their league's bosses back in that day? His ire was not directed at Penn State. Even a Notre Dame add would have gotten the same reaction if located in "rural Pennsylvania" (actually it probably would have been worse). Additionally, some athletic departments had to break contracts and/or give up a home game to incorporate Penn State into the schedule. It really hurt the bottom line in some cases. And the new commissioner, one Jim Delany, wasn't in a position to demand much from the college CEOs. [/QUOTE]
