On Nov. 13, Penn Athletics posted a brief press-release titled “Remainder of Penn Volleyball Season Cancelled” on its website. Since then, The Daily Pennsylvanian has spoken to numerous sources on the condition of anonymity who claimed to have knowledge of the situation. More than two months after “vulgar and offensive” posters were discovered in the Penn volleyball locker room, here is what we do and don’t know about the season-ending scandal.

Papazekos | Despite pair of bad losses, Penn has shown it poses a problem for top teams
(12/05/19 4:39am)
VILLANOVA, Pa. — Penn men’s basketball has played nine games. The Quakers have won five — two against power-conference teams in enemy territory as double-digit underdogs.

Papazekos | Penn football lost, but there's a silver lining in the fight it showed
(10/27/19 6:54pm)
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — Look, it’s kind of silly to watch a team’s third straight conference loss and try to root around and pull evidence for hope from it. It’s pretty much always the wrong take when you point to a bad result and claim it as some sort of victory.

Papazekos | The NCAA's failure to pay college athletes is anti-capitalist
(10/14/19 10:24pm)
There are a number of reasons why college athletes deserve to be paid that I’m sure anyone reading this has been made well aware of: the huge incomes they generate for the schools, the lack of any meaningful amateurism in today’s NCAA landscape, the lack of substantive education top-tier athletes receive, the racial dynamics of the unpaid workforce (especially in the “revenue sports” of football and men’s basketball), and the huge professional risks players take on by participating.
Papazekos | Penn football's new jerseys were among the only things worth looking at
(10/05/19 3:41am)

A year after the scandal broke, Penn Athletics remains quiet on Jerome Allen
(07/20/19 9:09pm)

Then, Jerome Allen was a former Penn men’s basketball coach, a Penn Athletics Hall of Famer, and known as one of the best Penn men’s basketball players of all time. Now, a year later, Allen has been convicted of a federal crime, is no longer in the Hall, and is synonymous with one of the biggest scandals to rock the Ivy League in recent memory.
