Nittany Lions On Menu For Feeding Frenzy
The Nittany Lions, severely wounded by the NCAA’s blast, are down. Naturally, buzzards are in the midst of circling overhead. It won’t be long before the pecking begins, and Penn State’s recruiting efforts are ripped to shreds.
It’s the circle of life, and college football is no exception. The strong devour the weak, the fast prey on the slow and the big gobble the small.
There’s no shame and less trepidation among the football coaches with Penn State in their crosshairs. They are attracted to that roster like sharks are drawn to chum, in this case players who became free agents Monday and can play elsewhere immediately without missing a year.
Part of the NCAA’s penalty loosened transfer rules and created a rare dining opportunity for opposing schools, turning Penn State’s recruits and returning players into an all-you-can-eat buffet.
