7:36 am
we have the attorney who has represented former. players, and an adjunct professor at the school of business. so happy you're here to talkre about this. we're going to get into in depth issues, but first, i'd like to know your thoughts when the sanctions came down, what didn, you think about it? what stood out? >> i think what stood out was the fact the ncaa was now elm o sort of a new jurisdiction, that they were looking at the criminal action, and the question comes down, does the ncaa have the authority to look that over, or should we leave that to the court. i think you can loosely say the ncaa has an interest because it's an athletic department, it has moral guidelines withingu their bylaws, and there for it'o a voluntary oh, that penn state adheres to.he >> we've been saying they didn't get the death penalty.
7:37 am
but is this a death penalties oe sorts? did it go far enough as far as a think so r is ans? >> in the past, cases in the death penalty have been left to universities that have been punished and continue to doto something in violation of then bylaws. so in this indication, it really was like the precedent, this is a new incident, and they probably wouldn't have given the death penalty.al >> we spoke about the sanctions what they were, what it means, but you the want to get into tht things we're not about, we're not talking about the sponsors, does penn state lose money, do they get it back, the scholarships, and do the athletes all, do they do a mass exodus? can you talk about some of these things and what it means financially? how big of a hit is this. >> i think the ncaa did conside the economic impact, and the economy of today, and how that would impact penn state and the
7:38 am
surrounding community, and i think they did a good job in that area where they looked at merchandise sales, think aboutti all the sales. they have already been ordered, the merchandise, so they'reo going to be hurt on that, think can't cancel the orders. the seconds thing is the economic impact to the hotelst and the restaurants and the community around it. remember, if penn state keeps winning, which the will be difficult with -- which will be difficult with a decreased high profile players that will exit, if they keep winning, thee community will still see a good, strong, economic impact. once they started losing, that'i the testng of time for the fanse and the boosters. i think the boosters willb continue to give money as long aspen state has a commitment. >> just going off a little bit, it seems that penn state prideat is so huge, and when you hear some of the alumni speakingni about this, and just some of te fans, they are like we are stile penn state, and a lot of them
7:39 am
don't agree with some of these sanctions.ncti so is there a chance thata instead, it will have the opposite effect?te and you know, done gone it, -- doggone it, we're going toto support them. >> i think what you'll see during the periods of the first few years, i think thatink commitment will be strong, butst as it extends to impacting the team, which i believe is going to be a 10, 15 years impact, the new people coming in and the new boosters, they're not going tog have the relevancy of this issu right in front of them, and so i'd like to see maybe in ten years where that pride is, if it's strong enough to support it financially. >> before we let you go, let's talk about the bowl issue, can' participate in bowls for four years, does that means the games aren't televised? how does that affect the program right now? >> impact sponsorship contracts. sponsorship contracts, they may have a requirement that you have to play in a bowl game, because that's exposure for their logo,
7:40 am
and it may also impact the sponsorship contracts just on revenue streams of merchandise. so look to that to impact the commercial side.ci whether they can be on tv or not during the regular season, i think that's still undecided by the networks, but as far as bowl games, they will not be on tv, which sponsorship contracts wan to see that additional exposureu >> remember, they have a stadium of 100,000 people, so that's a pretty good impression for a sponsorship. >> gon e far enough to donoug something with the culture, that was a big buzz word in all thedn of this to sort of break downea k that culture of silence that s born out of the pride with the school. has it gone far enough to doto that? >> i think it will, and i think penn staters are smart, alumni, they will gather and make the school a stronger system.
7:41 am
>> thank you so much. >> thank you for having me. thank you. it is 7:40 on this tuesday morning. still ahead, an american legend has passed away. >> she opened the door, and in fact, she still opened doors tod young women around the condition drift. >> we've got more on the life oi sally rye, that's commenting up. >> despite aids and hiv taking a toll, many people lack an understanding of how serious the disease is, and what can be done about it. in the 10:00 a.m., we'll have a panel of medical experts on han to answer your questions. you can calm the number on your screen, (202)895- 3307 over the next four months, you u have a choice to make.
7:42 am
not just between two political parties, or even two people. it's a choice between two very different plans for our country. governor romney's plan would cut taxes for the folks at the very top. roll back regulations on big banks.
7:43 am
and he says that if we do, our economy will grow and everyone will benefit. but you know what? we tried t that top down approa. it's what caused the mess in the first place. i believe the only way to create an economy built to last is to strengthen the middle class. asking the wealthy to pay a little more so we can pay down our debt in a balanced way. so that we can afford to invest in education, manufacturing, and home-grown american energy for good middle class jobs. sometimes politics can seem very small. but the choice you face, it couldn't be bigger. ♪ i'm barack obama and i approve this message.
