Because it's insincere and proves he's unwilling to take accountability. It's poor leadership.
A Different View of Beau’s Decision
- Thread starter SR108
- Start date
I can shorten the time. Ditch the post season bye weeks and go with an 8 team playoff. I would also ditch the conference championships games. That picks up at least three weeks.
Is there another bye before the championship game?
Personally I was in favor of a 4 team playoff. I never complained about teams 5-12 being national champs. It was usually team number #2 or #3 who had a gripe when there was no playoff.

I disagree with your first premise, he got the scholarship, the housing, the food, the training, and any stipends and/or NIL for this season, and he hasn't fulfilled that obligation. Beau is leaving for Beau and potentially screwing the team in the process. I can understand the portal issue, but he is leaving before he has completed his obligations.
I discount what CJF says in public for two reasons 1) I almost never trust what a coach says in public about his team, and that goes for almost every coach and 2) CJF's recruiting relies on many things, but chief among them is the family type atmosphere. He has to come out a certain way in public to keep that theme going.
Another week could be added to the schedule by playing the Army-Navy game as a standalone game as a seasonal kickoff classic the last week of August.
The playoff semifinals should be on NYE/NYD, with the finals the following week. Having the MNC fall on January 20th is stupett.
It did occur to me "what would have happened if Army beat ND and got into the 12-team playoff?"
Now, the big question is: Who wants less money?
We'd obviously need to examine more closely how much 'product' would be eliminated in this process to determine the negative economic impact.
The issue for Pribula is to do what has to be done to be able to transfer. However, the transfer rules need revised. I see no need to have the transfer window close short of the close of the season with a reasonable duration thereafter.
Ehhh...money from the playoff could make that irrelevant when we go to 20 or wherever it lands.
It's PSU policy that if you enter the portal, you are done. He's not screwing anyone over. PSU policy is.
Why is that the policy?
Policies can be changed at any time
And, again, he didn't have to enter the portal yet
Matt Hayes may be a bigger SEC homer than Finebaum. He's still butthurt that Bama, Ole Miss and USCe aren't in the field over PSU, Indiana and SMOO. No, I ain't kidding -- read his columns/outright lobbying before selection day. Sankey has him on speed dial, but can probably just turn around and tell the SEC a$$ki$$er to his face.
You will have to ask the policy makers Loado.
Of course he didn't have to enter the portal. Did you listen to Franklin say unequivocally that he wanted to stay at PSU? Do you think Franklin was lying?
If he was going to move on, the time was now. Period. He had to enter now to get a shot at playing which is clearly what he wants to do. Good luck to him and good luck to Allar for staying.
Why are you such a dipshit?
If he wanted to stay he'd still be here--Franklin's protecting the kid and also focused on what he wants
I agree--good luck to him but he didn't have to leave now--doesn't mean he shouldn't have--he had options--he made his choice--stop blaming polices or the rules. He had until 5 days after our season ended--fact.
He reacted purely based on emotion once he knew Drew was staying--which is the best news ever because now we won't lose Grunk
He wants to play next year you dipshit. Why is that so hard for you to wrap your pea brain around?
PSU said he can't be part of the team if he enters the portal. That's their rule. No Beau's. Good Lord, you are truly a f'ing idiot. It's no wonder so many take shots are you. You deserve all of it, and more.
Now you are extolling the fact a third stringer will replace a second stringer for the betterment of the team.... LMFAO..... Hilarious.
My guess is that Deven Brown already has a spot locked up and has for awhile.
Devin Brown doesn't want to play next year? Why's he transferrign that
Again, he didn't have to ENTER THE PORTAL yet--he made that decision. He made a choice
Grunk > Beau long term--not on Saturday but if we need a backup QB we're screwed regardless
The idiots taking shots at me have never bothered me because they're idiots
LOL... Deven Smith and OSU have nothing to do with Beau P and PSU. So drop that nonsense now.
Grunk is 3rd string. Beau 2nd. Beau very likely would have been PSU's starter next year.
Reminder, you are the biggest idiot here. The rest of us are sane, logical, reasonable and normal. If others don't bother you, it confirms that you indeed a self absorbed, know it all, idiot.
Continue on. It's amusing.
Problem is timing regarding enrollment for the second semester.
It has everything to do with Beau. He had options. This was what he picked. No one forced him to enter the portal
Yes Beau likely would have started which means we would have lost Grunk hence we win.
You're emotional not reasonable
He picked it after discussion with his head coach. Why does that confuse you so much? Careful consideration was given.
No one knows if Grunk would have moved on if the person ahead of him got the start. You are speculating like you know the future that hasn't happened yet.
LOL... I am reasonable. You are emotional (and clearly desperate to believe you are correct - again, hilarious.)
Right..and he had other options. Him blaming the NCAA is insincere. That's the topic here. Are you following? No one is mad he's leaving.
You can't be this dumb. Grunk would have left if Beau stayed so it is good Beau left. Now we go from Allar to Grunk which is what many of us wanted all along. Good luck to Beau elsewhere. No one in this era with Grunk's arm sits for 3 years to then compete for a job. He was gone.
You are emotional about this like everything. Next you'll blame the refs for something or the Big Ten or the NCAA.
It's not insincere you idiot. It's reality. If he wants a chance to start next year, he has to move now. Even Franklin said it.
Grunk is 3rd string and never played a down in college football in his life. You again again are pretending to know the future which is why you are the joke you've made yourself into. Congrats! Personally, I find it amusing.
It's sincere. He had other options as everyone has pointed out to you. He wants a chance to start next year so HE BELIEVE he has to go now and couldn't wait until the 22nd. That's his choice. Not forced by the NCAA. HIs choice.
Again, many here are thrilled he's gone because now we go from Allar to Grunk without wasting years with Beau starting. Huge win. Hopefully Beau wins some game elsewhere but he's not a good enough passer to play for a contender which is what we want to be.
Good kid...simply not good enough hence he's leaving.
Agreed, it's sincere. And he had to make the best of it by leaving now. He wasn't playing at PSU next year.
Stop being stupid. It's unbecoming.
Insincere...my bad for responding on my phone. We all know it was insincere as he had options. Own it or take the cowards way out like Beau did. Beau would have gotten so much more respect had he not blamed the NCAA who's decisions benefited him.
LOL.. No, you were finally right with your typo.
Beau took the noble path. You are too emotional to admit it.
Beau got the respect from his head coach which is something you cannot come to terms with.
Because you are a pathetic, self absorbed, loser.
Stop your incessant whining and complaining about this. You are so ridiculous. On one hand Penn State could get totally screwed on a horrendous call and you would defend the call till your death because the refs are sacred cows to you and absolutely no officiating ever in the history of the game has ever even slightly influenced a game. (Insert big eye roll and hand wave). Yet this kid chooses to enter the portal now to maximize his career opportunities and you just cowardly sh## all over it like a big freaking baby. Shut up no one wants to hear you complain you big baby.
What the F....are you spewing you hater? Beau has my respect and most of Penn State Football fans and the within posters. Beau is a fine individual a great teammate and is not a slave nor an indentured servant. Your mission on this Board has been to destroy this fine young man in every way possible and that is reprehensible.
I believe JF said he would consider an exception for Beau during the presser...if I heard that wrong, my bad.
Lol...Beau had no obligation to stay. Had you read anything said by me or others criticizing this you'd have comprehended that. The issue is he falsely blamed the NCAA instead of owning his decision and the options he had. Destroy this young man lol...pure insanity.
I believe the issue was being able to practice, finish school work and make visits. Apparently it could not be worked out. So no exceptions could be made.
If you don't want to hear the truth that's on you. Beau had other options and instead of manning up and owning his decision he tried to blame the NCAA.
Which is nonsense. Beau was simply ready to leave when he found out Drew was staying. If he said that no one would have an issue or blame him but he had options m
