In response to SteveChop
I hope that Jerome Allen's name is not removed from the Palestra display walls. It is easy to ostracize. It is a form of scapegoating, a fear of coming to terms with one's own motivations. And we need to remember that Jerome took the Penn coaching job in the worst circumstances possible. It was to be a one year situation. But when finances prohibited a sensible budget for men's basketball, Jerome stayed on. None of this excuses his part in the scandal, but he needs to have his University acknowledge his contributions, not erase them, despite the blight on his record.
