To borrow and paraphrase a remark from President Gerard Ford: At long last, the great Penn State nightmare (2.0) is over.

However, what still upsets me is the betrayal by the player who leaked the tape of the closed-door team meeting with team leaders.

In the athletic world, that’s a sacrilege.

If identified, he should be thrown off the team ASAP — preferably by the team leaders. And I would hope that each player at that meeting would let Kraft know it wasn’t him.

I know it would be hard for the players to turn on a teammate, but this was also a betrayal to them and entire team. This all assumes that it was a player, of course, but I haven’t heard anything otherwise. Hopefully he immediately enters the portal.

About F-bombs. Not a good look or excuse. But if you get a chance ,watch the Netflix SEC series, “On any given Saturday.” There are F-bombs galore by coaches at player meetings.

High hopes for Campbell hiring

I was able to watch the Matt Campbell press conference live on YouTube, and for the first time, in a very long time, I am really excited about and looking forward to Penn State football again.

Like others, I became both frustrated and impatient with Pat Kraft, but give him due credit for bringing it home with what I believe will prove to be a great hire.

I’m old enough to have been a Joe Paterno disciple, and I believe that Matt Campbell will become, in time, the second greatest Penn State football coach ever.
