Let's remember the Penn State Athletic Culture.

See the link below. From the article:

"Starting with the men’s and women’s fencing team winning its 10th national crown in March 2007, Penn State leads the nation with 18 NCAA championships over the past nine years, which includes football titles. Oregon and Southern California are tied for second with 16 titles each."

And,

"The Nittany Lions have won at least one NCAA title in each of the past 10 academic years, starting in 2006-07."

And,

"Penn State’s 18 NCAA championships are at least double the number of NCAA titles won by every Big Ten Conference institution over the past nine years. Since 1992-93, the Nittany Lions’ 29 NCAA championships are more than double every Big Ten school that has competed in the conference for at least two full years (Nebraska has 13 titles, Minnesota and Ohio State each have 12)."

And,

"Penn State’s 48 NCAA Championships all-time (76 national championships overall) rank No. 5 among all NCAA Division I programs and are the highest total of any college or university east of the Mississippi River."

And finally,

"Penn State student-athletes have an 88 percent NCAA Graduation Success Rate and 63 percent of them earned at least a 3.0 grade-point average last fall. A school record 516 student-athletes posted a 3.0 GPA or higher during the 2015 fall semester, with 234 earning Dean’s List honors with a 3.5 GPA or higher. Penn State ranks No. 4 among all Division I schools with 191 CoSIDA Academic All-Americans all-time."

I hate us.

We are oh so fortunate that the university's "leadership" arrested control of the rogue athletic department. I am forever grateful to the courage of such legends in their own mind like peetz, frazier, myers, paul suhey, erickson, etc.

Assholes.

With statistics like that, one can only wonder how bad things could have been if the Board of Trustees were unable to wrestle away control of the Athletic Department from the evil minions that ran the department.

Who knows what could have happened - a Fulbright Scholar? Rhodes Scholar? if our evil athletic department were to have continued their wanton ways.
