-- thank you very much and -- Penn State football hit with huge penalties -- NC double that you've got that.
Sixty million dollars in fines a full year ban on bowl games the loss of scholarships and fourteen years -- of -- wiped out.
Any color plant currently enrolled -- committed to Penn State can now transfer.
And be eligible to -- right away they can get out its interest.
Joining us now is sports agent Eugene Lee Eugene welcomed the program -- -- -- Stewart.
It would seem to me that the stars.
Who Revver already -- -- -- -- -- global program.
Then I'm gonna lose it all of them are gonna go.
Right I would think that a majority of the top players will go just because for years.
Prevented from think playing ball games that is quite a big pill to swallow today gone with the stars and data that gonna be -- in -- because they've -- I think can have a couple are gonna try to remain loyal to the school and try to gut it out but I think that if you have players with NFL aspirations with the talent to play the next level.
They're gonna wanna be seen.
In big time BC useful -- yet now that.
It's look obviously I don't know much about college football some on outside -- dumb looking into this situation seems to me that the second and third TO players who on the Penn State team right now.
Then the ones who -- gonna -- Because they wanted to have a really good showing this season they wanted to get into the NFL and now that's probably gonna be denied to -- said they pay the price when I.
Three a lot of people don't realize that for aspiring NFL players college players if you win.
NFL teams come and see more of your gains you're gonna get more exposure to -- the next level.
Now these mid level players -- Penn state of the top stars leave they're not gonna win they're not gonna get that type of exposure.
So I think that that's a very valid point so as an agent how will you look at and judge these Penn State players.
Players that leave I mean we're will -- -- it.
The place where it's his sort for the second -- it even the -- replacing the Richardson people who are getting more playing time.
But without perhaps that -- -- without you're gonna have to really care you have to really evaluate the performance individually because I don't think you're gonna write them off completely no absolutely not and if you have the skills that you have measurable playing NFL scouts will find you but it's going to be a lot more difficult now.
In your judgment how long does it take for Penn State full pools to Republicans anything like what it was on I'm -- without a -- -- plus a full years.
I've heard people say it's ten -- has -- -- a real -- I think ten years is a very good estimate they have a great Coach and bill O'Brien the offensive coordinator from the patriots.
He is committed to turn the program around I think with his style of offense he's gonna get some.
High profile talent.
But they're gonna have to remove themselves -- for far enough away from the scandal in order French -- noting the signing up for when he took the job he had to have no.
I mean with all of the investigation in all the allegations at that point in time and has inherited his further career chances of perhaps going to another institution or maybe even professional football because he's wrapped up now -- -- I think he's looking at it as an opportunity to come into -- program turn it around reestablish Penn State football's a powerhouse -- -- -- attract talent over the next four years I mean essentially they have no future figure.
He's got the Super Bowl rings from New England he's got NFL.
Coaching he's got a minute -- playbook high powered offense Tom Brady was running and up there that's how you attract top profile town.
Top players -- claiming in -- fell.
They took the winds away from 1998 -- 2011 those winds are off the record books but doesn't do anything does -- although then take away Joseph Paterno is radical.
Joseph Paterno went from first on the all time -- -- the twelfth now now Bobby Bowden is number one.
But he's quoted saying yesterday that this is not the way he -- to but isn't that why they -- it just to you remove them Joseph -- -- -- -- number one on the -- standings -- part of the reason I think also they want to really clean themselves from this whole scandal you know -- re doing the showers in the the football locker room under vacating the victories.
It's set for some players like -- Oliver.
Real fast you're right in the middle of the for -- business -- represented professional full -- -- is this a total bombshell in the world of football.
You would never expect something of this magnitude.
I mean I'm sure that in certain situations stuff like this does happen.
But the cover up extended to cover up with the university leaders involved the president could indeed VP finance.
Joseph Paterno the figure -- you would never I would never have expected it's a bombshell.
Alright Eugene late always a pleasure thanks a -- thanks Brad.
