Can pavers honor Joe?
It's your brick, so it's your inscription to determine (within reason!). My guess is that one of the unwritten purposes here is for former players and for fans to buy bricks that will state it is in honor of JVP. I expect there will be hundreds of bricks with inscriptions honoring Joe.
That, imo, is a great way to eliminate the reinstating the statue argument, and allow them to find a different, indoors home for the statue or something like it. Let the fans and players state their JVP support, and pay for the privilege to do so.

They or anyone can suggest whatever they want.

The inscriptions will be subject to what is reasonable and in the spirit of the plaza, and the purchase of them is not an entitlement, so could be refused in cases like you describe.
Can I buy one that says

I blame Jay.

?

How long to someone on Pitt or Rutgers board suggests buying Joe Knew bricks?
Sadly Nut … I’m thinking It already being typed out (and hopefully deleted by the staff) by so called PSU fans who are miss guided in their “It’s Joe’s fault we’re behind in facilities” BS! I like James but his teams would lose 95% of the time against Joe’s. If they played each other

It would be great if they accepted the donation but never installed the brick.

Yes.
In fact, I think SuePa has also purchased one with that very same inscription.
It's a universal truth, after all, so very popular all around town.
I am going to have my inscriped using Egyptian Heiroglyphics.

Joe along with the rest of the admin were responsible. It is part of the reason the program tanked in the 2000s. Penn State failed to keep up with the rest of college football. As for the hypothetical match up it depends on what years you are talking about.

Are you kidding me?

It seems that there was a wall and a statue near Beaver stadium that honored PSU football. It was torn down in 2012 because the University decided that the sandusky problem was because of the cult worship of football....so said (paraphrasing our University president)
Only a cost accountant could figure out how much was spent in cost of materials, labor to build the original wall, then tear it down. And, lest we forget the $60million fine the University decided to pay anyway after the NCAA eliminated the sanctions against PSU.
So can we assume that since the University is sanctioning the legacy plaza, it's ok again to enjoy penn state football?

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for something that honors the sport that most of us enjoy. But, the people who made the decision to tear down the original "legacy" to PSU football should be invited to pay for this one.

I’m glad you added the Admin part, because whether Joe wanted it. They weren’t going to approve it.
Far as the match up no cherry-picking go with equal records.
Put the 09 team against the 19 team
08 against 17
05 against 16
07 against 18
10 against 21
Joe’s teams got better each week which is why they won bowl game
Franklin has better recruiting averages per class and teams lose focus and come up small against the top teams

The letters JVP will not be allowed in the alphabet used for inscription.
Also the numbers 409 will be eliminated.
