Who fared the best in the NCAA sanctions against Penn State and its football program?
The football program. Recruits are still coming and a trip to Ireland, no less.
State College. The community showed its true colors, rising up to support the team.
The players. It provided a test of character, and those who stayed and played passed with flying colors.
Bill O'Brien. The sanctions lowered expectations of following a legend, and he exceeded them wildly.
The university and its leaders. They had to stop the bleeding and move on by accepting the sanctions.
Joe Paterno. Posthumous win deductions won't diminish his immortal legacy.
The NCAA and Mark Emmert. Both were strong, decisive and correct in bringing the hammer down.
The fans. They could finally get back to cheering on their football team without apology.
