Giger: Penn State's future as one of 'haves' secure with jackpot TV deal

ALTOONA, Pa. -- We got this very simply, yet very telling question about Penn State in our Live Qs at 5 feature Wednesday:

"When will Penn State football be relevant again on a national level? What would need to happen?" -- from mhellman

The answer, in its simplest form, is one word:

Now.

That's right. Despite going 11-11 over the past two seasons, eliciting great anger from the fan base, the truth of the matter is that the Nittany Lions have a chance to be nationally relevant right now, this season.
