You can bet Barron gave Heim-in the opportunity to step down. Sounds like he was to arrogant. Barron did it for him.

Hey Frank, why don't you come up and handle the coin toss?
They are in charge of something I don't get, don't understand, can't buy tickets or shirts/hats for. Good luck from here out.
That is exactly what I was thinking! We'll let anyone and everyone traipse around the 50 yard line, but we won't rightfully honor the guy that built the place (and no one except for a bunch of non-alums on the board knows why)!
no one would want to have seen a ceremony at half time ..with people booing a military representative but if Heim doesn't see the irony in the whole thing then he is truley a clueless moron...Joe gets fired before the Nebraska game because 'it would have been a distraction' ..so turnabout is fair play ..Heim ..you get fired because you would have been a distraction too ..... will the people that 'run Penn State ever truley 'realize' that there are so many many people out there that will never forget or forgive what they did to a man who truley served humanity every bit as much as Heim served his country in an honorable way ... maybe some empathy would be his biggest lesson out of this
What Eric won't do is acknowledge why the wounds are so deep and how he and the bot are continuing to keep them open. That would take introspection on his part.
Question, where did Bruce Heim graduate from, Penn State or West Point? Some articles say West Point, another said Penn State. If West Point, they have their own representatives.
In any case, Penn State has a rich military history via our ROTC programs and our alumni base in general. There has to be some other much better choices.
Here is one idea. Vin Tedesco, who lives in State College and ran for the BOT in 2012 as an alumni candidate. A 1964 Penn State graduate, an ROTC graduate, a Vietnam veteran as a Battery Commander of a Heavy Automatic Weapons Battery in I Corp supporting the Marines, highly decorated, a career Army officer rising to the level of full Colonel, and a leader in the U.S. Army Artillery commands. He could have represented all Penn State grads who served in our military services throughout all of our war years.
There are probably a hundred similar scenarios involving other Penn State grads with equally impressive credentials who could have represented the university with distinction and honor. Why we can't think through these issues before coming to a decision baffles me.
