There's still no real clarity on the Penn State situation. Yesterday's official statement was simply a slightly longer version of the previous statement. It still said nothing about the reason for the dismissals, nor did it address the contradictions between the school's official line and the players' statements.
Assistant SID Erin Whiteside told the Patriot-News:
We'll probably never know anything more unless the players speak out. And that seems unlikely.
"This is my last interview. This has become way too big and blown up," Jen Harris said yesterday. "Both sides of this story have been told. It doesn't make any sense to continue to go back and forth any longer. I've said exactly what happened."
Assistant SID Erin Whiteside told the Patriot-News:
Technically Jen Harris can come back. The way Rene looks at is that Penn State makes the commitment to the student-athlete and if a student-athlete asks for a release to pursue her options they are not making that commitment back to Penn State so she would not take them back.Um.... I'm not sure what that means. But somehow, I doubt that Jen Harris can come back, "technically" or not.
