Interesting that the NCAA ruling specifically made Penn State's players free agents. I would speculate that the NCAA was not sure that it's other sanctions would make an impact on  the Nittany Lion juggernaut.

SB Nation has an on-going series of updates on the Penn State free-agent thing. One Nittany Lion player has already decided to leave.
