It’s no wonder that Paterno is revered. He took a football team and turned it into an economic life raft for a university and a region.

In a company town, your first responsibility is to protect the company.
Mark Cuban’s Radical Football
As of right now, it’s an exploratory LLC with one employee. But it ambitiously aims “to impact college football so that the last two teams playing are the best two teams” acccording to a statement Cuban gave to the San Diego Union-Tribune last week.
I think I’ve made my stance clear: I’ve got no love for the BCS, and I’ll get behind anyone–even an often-raving mad Cuban–who wants to improve college football’s currently pathetic excuse for a postseason.
It’s past the point of being absurd now. Every year college football stretches out its postseason, the more irrelevant it becomes. It’s a wasted sport. It’s the bad orgasm of sports. You know how sometimes you’ll be jerking off and you’ll try and hold the orgasm for a second so that it’s real good but then you fuck up and touch your peepee at just the wrong time and the whole thing is ruined? That’s college football. It’s the dribbling jizz on the mattress of American sport. It’s the only sport in America that has no interest in actual growth. And that makes it un-American and Communistic and fucking EVIL.
