So the NCAA has jurisdiction over illicit sexual activities and/or those who cover up illicit sexual activities?

Back to the topic at hand brothers. Do they have anyone we want? It is like shopping at the old blue light special 4 star starters at a huge discount? What about their linebacker core, they used to have great ones. Tight ends? They cane come to Baton Rouge tomorrow. I am sure Saban is alreday on his way. Send the G-6 and lets go shopping.
I ahve no sympathy for any school that cuddles and covers up a pedofile that is and lets call it what is is, no molesting but raping little kids. May they all rot in the coldest corners of Hell for eternity.
We got what 2 3 players from SMU when this happened.

I don't know that I would trade a future recruiting class spot for anyone, but they have a JR TE listed as #2 on their depth chart that could help us out. Haplea. Also, Mike Zordich is there if we needed another fullback, but I think we're good there and should probably get our young guys behind COpeland as much work as we can.

To answer the OP, no I don't want any of their players. Not because they couldn't help but because their spot has to be given back to the 85 in '13 and we lose an initial counter in '14. No thanks.
As for those say the NCAA should've stayed out of it because it had nothing to do with athletics, that is wrong. It was all about athletics from the PSU perspective. For Sandusky and the actual crimes on children, no athletics but he was employed by the university, it's athletic department and it's football program. That's all the athletic inclusion that is warranted. But to suffice I'll give more. The reason(my opinion and probably the NCAA's as well and Penn St's most likely) it is definitely athletic related is for the fact that Paterno, the people in charge of the university and the Athletic Director, were likely scared as shite that if the Sandusky stuff got out that it would effect the bottom line, recruits and the overall perception of the school and fottball program. Why do you think they concealed it? It wasn't just because he was a friend. They feared the reprecussions that would come from the info being made public. Quite simply, they were right. Look at the reaction that came when the Sandusky stuff came out. It was deserved but that was their fear and why this whole situation, from a Penn St perspective, is athletics related. To them it was all about the football program.

LB Gerald Hodges (Sr.) – The one-and-done players will receive less attention from other schools, but Hodges is an exception. Russell Wilson proved last year that transfers can have a huge impact in just one season and Hodges has that potential on the defensive side of the football. He’s a preseason first-team All-Big Ten player and All-American candidate in my book.
RB Silas Redd (Jr.) – The electric running back ran for 1241 yards last season (5.1 ypc) on an anemic offense that couldn’t throw the ball. He only had seven touchdowns to show for it, but put him on a team like USC with a quarterback like Matt Barkley and he could be a star. Two years of eligibility is a bonus.
LB Glenn Carson (Jr.) – Carson had 74 tackles as a sophomore and can help for two years. He’ll get a ton of looks.
WR Eugene Lewis (Fr.) – The incoming 4-star wide receiver was Bill O’Brien’s highest rated recruit in his first class. Considering he signed after all this went down though, will he want to leave?
WR Justin Brown (Sr.) – Brown was overshadowed by Derek Moye last year, but he caught 35 passes for 517 yards and two touchdowns, averaging 14.8 yards per catch. Could help a contending team short on receivers.
RT Donovan Smith (rFr.) – The former 4-star recruit has a ton of potential and four years of eligibility remaining.
LB Mike Hull (So.) – In his third year at Penn State, the former 5-star recruit was the No. 1 overall LB 2010. With three years of eligibility remaining, some team will want to scoop him from Linebacker U.
OG/C Miles Dieffenbach (So.) – The former four-star recruit was the No. 2 overall center out of high school and still has three years of eligibility remaining.
OG Angelo Mangiro (rFr.) – Scout.com had him rated the No. 3 overall OG in 2011 class. Four years of eligibility remaining.
QB Paul Jones (So.) – The verdict is still out on Jones, who was a 5-star recruit and the No. 3 overall QB in 2010 class. He could beat out Matt McGloin for the starting job this season if he stays at Penn State. Three years of eligibility will be attractive to other schools.
K/P Anthony Fera (Jr.) – Laugh at recruiting a kicker, but Fera can kick and punt at a high rate. Any contender needing an experienced kicker should send a fax over to Penn State immediately.
DT Jordan Hill (Sr.) – Some teams might not be interested because he’s a senior, but Hill is one of the better defensive tackles in the Big Ten.
LB Michael Mauti (Sr.) – The talented linebacker has been hampered by injuries but is great when healthy. Will a team risk a scholarship for just one year though?
DE Sean Stanley (Sr.) – Penn State’s best returning defensive end had 4.5 sacks last year.
This is by no means an exhaustive list. Penn State’s roster is full of players with potential. Joe Paterno’s 2010 recruiting class had three 5-star recruits and 12 4-star recruits along, according to Scout.com. This is a start though.

No need to "Let's say". That is the deal.
