Buy/Sell: If Mullen bolts for Penn State, he'll be just like Bobby Collins at SMU

Collins built USM into a very strong program by 1981. When SMU came calling, it was only natural for Collins to go somewhere bigger. Unfortunately, SMU was one of the most openly-crooked programs in a very crooked Southwest Conference. Collins went where he shouldn't have gone, SMU got the death penalty, and Collins never coached again.<div>
</div><div>Dan Mullen should heed this. State Penn is SMU**2.</div>

SMU cheated to buy players to gain a competitive advantage. Penn State has never been sanctioned for NCAA infractions. Penn State had a former employee molest boys on and off campus, and a 2-3 year investigation by the attorney general and state police found about 4-5 Penn State people involved, and all are already gone. No players were ever involved. <div>
</div><div>Yeah, there will be a stigma, but there will not be any NCAA penalties, and Penn State will continue to make $50million a year from it's football program and recruit and win games. SMU received the death penalty, then deemphasized football to the point of nothingness.</div><div><div>
</div><div>Penn State is not at all like SMU2. </div></div>

if anything bringing him in to that situation was simply akin to pouring gas on an already burning fire.

SMU was corrupt before a corrupt man took over.

Watch the espn special. He could have been ghandi and they'd have still gotten the death penalty though. What triggered the death penalty was a player who came back later and said they continued to pay after they had already been found guilty.

"we still got a payroll to meet" was the theme.
