This is refreshing. I am amazed to hear Paterno's critics say that today's college game has passed him by. Not by a long shot. There is so much more to the game than trash talking and pimping for the camera. Discipline and character do matter and are a condition for keeping the privilege of playing a collegiate sport. It's nice to see the coach of a big time program letting everyone know there is accountability with his team. AND YES, college football will be much the poorer when he retires.
