The NCAA and Joe Paterno’s family reached a settlement to restore his Penn State’s vacated wins, and Twitter responded.
The NCAA came down hard on the Penn State football program following the allegations surrounding long-time coach Jerry Sandusky. That included vacating some of Joe Pateron’s career wins because he turned a blind eye to the issue when he was alerted to what was going on.
Now the Paterno family and the NCAA have reached a settlement to restore those vacated wins, and Twitter responded with justified outrage.
Here are some of the best:
.@NCAA happy new year go fuck yourselves

Vacating wins/reinstating wins is stupid anyway. But it's the fact that the NCAA would reevaluate sex crimes that irks me

man NCAA why would you do this

Frankly, I don't know whose kids are more embarrassing: Billy Graham's or Joe Paterno's.

Stepping away from Twitter now. RT Paterno family: "Today is a great victory for everyone who has fought for truth in the Sandusky tragedy."
