With Penn State's ever-expanding athletic budget ( ), I'm surprised Sandy hasn't elevated our Goat Rodeo program to D-1. You have to think it is a Penn State dynasty in the making.

Yeah but what did they do with their hiking club?? We all know how dangerous that is.

They can't compete with the money and resources that their rival and national rodeo power Oklahoma Panhandle State University (OPSU) puts into the sport. NCAA rodeo is an arms race and Bacone has decided to back out.

So what happens to the bulls and broncos on scholarship? Are they permitted to transfer without restriction?

Women’s wrestling? You would think that would be a money maker. Maybe not so much in Oklahoma. They’re used to wrestling calves.
