Penn State Dynasty

[Reed the Raven]

In light of what has recently happened with Penn State I would like to start a Dynasty with the team. I have never played NCAA '12 before and have had it for a long time (for NCAA Draft Classes for Madden) but I am wondering how much of the real thing I can recreate? I assume they will get some bowl bans and other stuff (I also don't watch College Football at all) for it and Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky aren't on the staff (are they on the staff in the game and can I fire them if not to make it realistic)? Also, is the Athletic Director and stuff in the game? I would like to start from the ground up, basically.

No athletic director mode. You can edit Penn State's coaching names before you do a dynasty as you see fit. I'd personally just start as the HC but don't recruit the first three years. Basically turn auto recruit off and don't add anyone to the board. That is about the only punishment the game will allow you to do.

I doubt Penn State will get a bowl ban for this. That isn't technically an NCAA issue. And Jerry Sanduski had already retired from Penn State if I'm not mistaken.

You could teambuilder edit the school profile. Edit the recruiting pitches.

Sandusky retired following the 1999 season, something that anyone who discusses this subject should know, unless you want to sound like an ignorant sheep who listens to whatever the media says.

Yeah, I can't imagine any sanctions being placed by the NCAA. The only way you could make it like it is today would be if some of your recruits that had already committed decided to decommit but that's not an option.

Death penalting OSU is more fun and makes up for the slap on the wrist they got.

They won't get a bowl ban neither should they. This is a legal issue not sanction issue.
