Pretty remarkable.
Makes sense.

I have been wondering all week how they could justify having a game on Saturday which turns into a JoePa pep rally of 105K in front of a national audience. Big Red needs to be gone as well.

ESPNews will also be carrying it, and I assume that BTN will be airing it live also.

ESPNews said they will show tape of it. I don't think they'll show it live.

EDIT: It appears that no one is airing it live.

BTN is goaing to carry it live, but word is that the start of the press conference is being delayed (not surprising) because the State College police have not yet been informed of what is going to happen.

@Ben_Jones88
Can confirm: Paterno and Spainer out
I really hope that things don't get ugly in State College tonight.
