Bolden, a junior quarterback, has officially been released from his scholarship. Bolden is expected to transfer now, which is expected to be imminent.

He spent this weekend on the Louisiana State University campus after Penn State players are free to talk to other teams after the recent NCAA sanctions. Bolden is expected to be a back up with the Tigers, as well.

He would arrive at LSU just in time for preseason practice, which is just a week away from starting. He would compete with the other backups to become the No. 2 string quarterback behind Zach Mettenberger.

Bolden could be used in more positions than quarterback, as he is very versatile. As a quarterback, he has 14 interceptions compared to 8 touchdowns.

PSU T-Shirt Shows No Love for NCAA

PSU T-Shirt Shows No Love for NCAAWith Mark Emmert and the NCAA laying the hammer down on Penn State football last week, let’s just say the PSU fan base is a little up in arms when it comes to the NCAA.

Penn State lucky to avoid television banishment

Via The Sports Bank  |  July 30, 2012
For all the talk of the death penalty, and what Penn State got sanctioned with, (and what they didn’t get sanctioned with) one penalty would have hit PSU very hard had it been applied- a television ban. Penn St. athletic director David Joyner was at Big Ten Media Day and he discussed how much tv coverage of the team means to his program: “I think #1 the players want to play...

Silas Redd (@MomentOfSilas25) has reportedly deleted his twitter account. This can’t be a good sign for Penn State, as it now looks like he is USC bound. After all, the RB would probably want to avoid looking at his mentions at all cost after announcing a transfer. Thanks to “The Herd” for the tip this morning.

Would You Wear These Anti-NCAA, Pro-PSU Shirts?

Via Philly Sports Live  |  July 31, 2012
This is the kind of shirt that you could only wear in State College. Like, if you you wear that shirt anywhere else, you are the stereotypical Penn Stater, who is blindly supporting your school for all the wrong reasons. But if you are wearing that at Penn State, it’s funny. Way too obnoxious for me, no matter where you wear it. But I’m not a flashy kind of guy. I shy away from...
