Penn State "exploring" participation in HBO Hard Knocks-like program
Penn State has responded to a DevilsDigest.com report Monday noting that the Nittany Lions, along with Arizona State, Alabama, and Washington State, have been selected by HBO to participate in a "Hard Knocks"-like show.
According to the statement, the project is still in an exploratory phase rather than something that has been finalized, though.
As we do with all opportunities we feel can enhance our program, we are exploring the prospect of working on this project with the appropriate officials from all parties involved.
