Penn State AD Tim Curley said yesterday that Rene Portland was not forced to resign. Rene didn't show up at PSU's press conference yesterday. Walt Moody says she should have.

"I'm shocked [shocked!] that this has happened," said Suzie McConnell-Serio. "I never expected it. She is synonymous with Lady Lion basketball. She has been on that sideline all of those years and it is really a shock right now."

NCLR's Karen Doering: "As far as I know, this has nothing to do with the lawsuit."

David Jones reviews her complicated legacy. Homophobia aside, he says she was occasionally a "selfish, self-involved person, enabled by her proximity to power."
