In his first sit-down interview ever, former Penn State quarterback Daryll Clark gives us an intimate look into his lifelong commitment to the game of football, his relationship with former coach Joe Paterno, and the achievements that were stolen from him when the NCAA vacated all of Penn State's wins from 1998 through 2011.

On July 23, 2012, Daryll Clark watched silently as the NCAA took away every gained yard, every touchdown pass, and every football record Daryll had earned as quarterback and team captain of Penn State's Nittany Lions. When the NCAA levied their devastating sanctions in response to the crimes committed by assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, they did no honor to Sandusky's victims. In fact, the NCAA left behind innocent victims of their own: collateral damage in the form of former players  stripped of their accomplishments.  

Did the NCAA act outside of its authority when it levied sanctions against Penn State's Nittany Lions ? Why was Penn State president Rodney Erickson so quick to accept and sign the decree issued by the NCAA, without a due process hearing before the committeeee? The NCAA itself recognized that no student-athlete of Penn State was responsible for the horrible crimes committed by Sandusky. So why did it punish the players? The only thing the players were guilty of was giving up all else to pour their hearts and souls into playing for the Nittany Lions football team at Penn State.

In this interview, Daryll shares the the sacrifices he made to become such a prolific player, feelings he had when he was told that his college career no longer existed, and his desire to regain the records he worked so hard to break and set. 

Daryll relates how and when he learned of the allegations against Sandusky, the reactions of his teammates, and the impact on his personal life. Perhaps the most poignant part of the interview comes when he tells of the final days with Joe Paterno

We are seeking funding to allow us to travel to Ohio and interview Daryll's father, as well as secure the rights needed to include footage from CNN, ESPN, and other media outlets in this story.
